I'm sure people would create content even if they didn't make anything. They did in the past.
mmhmm, give us your top 10 Peertube reccomendations :)
Top 5 recommendations uploaded on YouTube before monetization:
I just tried to sign up for Peertube because this comment reminded me
The only site with any videos on it (Fediverse.TV) doesn't allow signups. Neither does the default instance (Peertube.TV).

you can, there are hundreds of nodes. to be fair there are probably 10's of thousands of videos, but ... they're almost all poor quality or just uninteresting
