We did the Twitter to Mastodon migration. Now we are doing the Reddit to Lemmy/kbin migration. When are we doing the YouTube to Peertube migration?

That's impossible or at least very difficult, right now. Video content is very expensive. LBRY is the only feasible option.

Or people could just host their own peertube instance with banner ads instead of preroll/mid video ads and maybe add a donation/subscription system.

add a donation/subscription system.

At this point you could just subscribe to YouTube.

But YouTube is privately owned and not an open source platform that each creator has full control over

Not wanting to pay youtube does not mean not wanting to pay creators.
