Peertube already exists and has seen growing usage: https://joinpeertube.org
Of course, it doesn't have an ad or patronage model built in.

So, what you're saying is that it's useless to the people complaining about their videos being demonetized, or not getting a firehose of algorithmic marketing.

Not to mention that anything unpopular will be poorly distributed and harder to access than popular stuff... which kinda defeats the point really. YouTube loves popular stuff because it makes money.

Peer-to-peer torrent-like distribution. Of course, then you'll have the problem where the system will be full of pirated content, illegal content, etc, and you'll get to enjoy attention from police and regulators.
