the bottleneck to peertube seems to be populating and having more viewers, not hosting costs.
The problem with Peertube, IMO, is you can’t just “join”.
Pick an instance, it’s locked down. I get it, hosting others video content is costly and dangerous, but it’s also a huge barrier.
It’s best use case is self-hosting by established creators funded primarily by patreon subscribers, rather than new creators. But established creators won’t abandon the platform with their viewers. So, it’s a bit of a jam.
Fediverse platforms also just seem terribly uninterested in supporting creatives’ business models, so we get a high minded desert.
