This. There are alternative video hosting platforms; none of them are really alternatives to YouTube itself until the content creators also move.
Floatplane in particular seems promising, but between them and viva plus, they really outline how expensive it is to try to do it Youtube style. But then you have things like odysee where they just barely monetize, and you see what hot trash that brings in.
It's a hard nut to crack.
This is a big thing I've been thinking about with Youtube. People clearly have problems with it. But they're so locked in that they feel they can't move to another platform.
I don't even think they creators need to make a full jump for Peertube to grow. But having content Cross-posted, and for creators to go "and if you want an alternative to YouTube, I'm also on PeerTube" would go a long way.
