Youtube pays content creators.
PeerTube costs content creators money.
There's plenty of content creators aware of the issue, which is why nebula, floatplane etc. exist, but those are subscription models which most people don't want to pay.
Sure, youtubes money is not all that creators get, see for example LinusTechTips 2020 numbers. But gutting your revenue by ~25% would hurt hard.
Especially when costs go up at the same time.
YouTube pays content creators poorly so most of them rely on direct sponsorship rather than YouTube rev share.
Also YouTube is a nightmare for content creators because you can have videos delisted for a few swear words and the process is random and unpredictable. They would benefit from more independence.
