YouTube's market hold is unfortunately circular; no uploader on the platform will risk splitting their audience to a platform nobody goes to, and because of that, new platforms are unable to grow.

That aside: I also doubt most peertube instances can withstand the bandwidth costs of seriously hosting a few moderately succesful YouTube channels.

cough nebula cough

  • Nebula is closer to a premium streaming service - I'm not really counting it in the same sense as YouTube/Peertubes free, unbridled goals of video sharing, since Nebula doesn't do that either. I'd say it's closer to something like Amazon Prime/Netflix/Disney+ but for a specific cadre of creators on YouTube.
