I feel like it would be best to proxy YouTube, or subscribe to paid indie channels like nebula, but without a user base and without ad revenue or subscription revenue I don’t know how quality content can come to PeerTube. Maybe I’m just missing the content but when I’ve checked it’s all very low quality, just random unedited webcam vblogs mostly.

Do some searching. There are lots of great channels. I've posted them the last 3 or 4 times this question was asked.

AdSense makes up a relatively small portion of revenue for most creators. Their profit comes much more from:

  • Sponsor spots
  • Direct contributions
  • Merch/personal products

Good point about the other funding methods.
