I'm creating content and YouTube pulls from my Peertube. So I'll never lose it. All of these content creators are leaning on Patreon as none of them can count on ad revenue anymore. So people are already doing it.

And Peer tube will never fully replace YouTube, but also, it doesn't have to. Your local library, school, church, community space, doesn't need ad revenue.
