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.

Depends mainly how many videos you plan on hosting, storage space is the biggest issue.

I've self-hosted a 5€ Peertube instance before, no problems. Expanding the storage would be rather cheap but I never hit the 500GB VPS limit before I got bored of the whole thing and shut it down.
