I may be incorrect, but my as far as i know the network collectively pays for GETs via inflation by issuing new safecoins to farmers who are hosting chunks that are retrieved via GET.
But then again I’ve also heard that the total supply of safecoin has an upper limit, so if that’s how it works I’m not sure how farming would work once all safecoins exist already…
There are definitely gaps in my understanding of this that I need to fill.
