I think that is more complicated, as the channels need to generate revenue. Additionally, videos take up much more storage, and there is no option to select an instance like Lemmy. I only see options to selfhost.
Youtubers could gradually switch to PeerTube by uploading videos to both sites for now. They would make money the same way they do currently - through sponsorships and donations. I’m sure many of them can afford to host their own instance.
Next part of the Fediverse I’d like to see grow like that is PeerTube, so we can flip the Red Site a (few thaousands of) middle finger.

I’m not sure what you mean about no option to select an instance. Here is an example instance with open signups: https://libre.video. You can find more here: https://the-federation.info/platform/29

I’m doing my part!
