I would imagine the most expensive part is the storage space perhaps Peertube instances can function as cooperatives for content creators where they pool their resources to kickstart their own independent video platform free from censorship and frivolous corporate takedowns.

I like the idea of content creators pooling together to create an instance.

Viewers could donate to the instance, and the money could be divided between content creators after server costs are covered. Suddenly you have an open source payment optional Netflix alternative up and running.

In a way it's a bit weird to me that we haven't seen more experiments like this. But then again, I guess content creators are too busy creating content to think about crazy innovative distribution models.
