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.

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

Thanks for the correction!
You can even subscribe to a PeerTube channel from Mastodon and get a toot when a video is posted. Like I just did with @arthurpizza channel ;-)
