If IPFS provided the ability to track pins from users of a site like private trackers, and provide rewards or some incentive then I think IPFS would gain much wider adoption.
Does IPFS support something similar? e.g. pin this content until I have a 5:1 upload to download ratio

I 100% agree on the ability to track pins. I want to see organizations be able to easily peer/pin content from other orgs they endorse; and for end users to be able to follow and help peer for organizations they support.
I want something like Youtube where I choose who appears as in the related videos on my channel and can be a peer to hosting them; and where my users can help to peer my videos (and I can help peer others).
As an end user, my client (or local server/cache) would prefetch the content I follow both to be a peer and to have it ready for me to access.
This would also help with locality of data; if 4 people in my household watch the same video or channel they would be able to get the content locally. If I'm an organization with a physical location, users connected to my network can fetch the content on a local link.
