You honestly think a massive corporation that can't afford the costs of its own operation could be replaced by a couple of scrappy individuals who absolutely, definitely cannot afford the costs of its own operation?

could be replaced

I don't recall mentioning that PeerTube could replace YouTube in my comment.

You implied it with the phrase "when Google can’t pay for YouTube anymore".

Maybe PeerTube will see better days when Google can't pay for YouTube anymore.

I don't see how I implied a hope for PeerTube to replace YouTube.

I simply said that PeerTube might see better days when Google can't pay for YouTube anymore, as in PeerTube might get some popularity after that.

It challenges even the multi billionaire tech companies to host something like YouTube at similar scale. I don't think anyone that knows how big YouTube actually is would think that.
