I would imagine the most expensive part is the storage space perhaps Peertube instances can function as cooperatives for content creators where they pool their resources to kickstart their own independent video platform free from censorship and frivolous corporate takedowns.

Its not really the cost thats the problem.

The 2 problems i see are that the technical overhead to start a instance is too heigh. And that peertube is majorly unprofitable.

Technical overhead can be solved with a service provider creating a single click to run service like moat of the Minecraft server hosts. Possibly even with a profit shair for zero cost startup etc.

The unprofitability is a harder problem to solve tho.
