How to be prepared for a web3 world?
Depends on the application. You can launch a client rendered website on Skynet with great ease. Literally drag and drop your web app and its deployed on a decentralized network. Then just setup domain pointers HNS, ENS and your good to go.

“With HTTP, you search for locations. With IPFS, you search for content.”
https://siasky.net/ and https://docs.siasky.net/
IPFS has chosen an architecture which fundamentally keeps it non-performant, Skynet is built from the ground up in a different way, and gets 10-100x improvements on performance for content-addressed links, and 100-1000x improvements on performance for dynamic lookups (IPNS)

How Web3 Decentralization Can Dismantle Big Tech Monopolies in 2024
For example, decentralized data storage projects like Filecoin, Arweave, and Sia posted 50-100% user growth, providing blockchain-powered alternatives to AWS, Google Cloud, and Dropbox for distributed app data security.

Popular Pirate Bay Proxy Site Disappears from GitHub
If I'm following correctly, I believe this is basically what Sia does, although not optimized to be used directly as a media server (or maybe it could?).

Can decentralized storage compete with traditional cloud? Analyzing the available decentralized storage options
For consumer storage, Sia, Storj, and Vult (on Züs) can be good options since they are architecturally lower cost because of the erasure code technology. But for enterprise storage, among the available platforms, there isn’t a direct competitor to AWS S3 except for Zus, and archive storage, Filecoin is the best alternative, and for consumer storage, Storj, Sia, and Züs offer better options for fast retrieval times.

Being poor and a datahoarder is a nightmare. Is there a more efficient way of saving things?
As long as your needs are not beyond a TB, you can always consider something that does not require an actual "login" or a national currency, such as using SIAcoin (https://sia.tech). The cost for a terabyte hosted in two places often will cost you under the equivalent of $6-8 per month. It takes getting used to, but since it is blockchain based, it might even be possible for you to mine the means of paying for your cloud storage if what you actually need hosted is low enough.

Is there really no way to delete something uploaded to Arweave? I would prefer if I as the owner of the content could do that.
