I don't think it's possible for PeerTube to scale to a size where it would be capable of competing with Youtube.
PeerTube is just software. It's a decentralized network. It doesn't have to scale to that size. You can have a million servers handling the storage and streaming in a more efficient method and democratize the bandwidth.
Who's paying to run a million servers?
Hosts and users who want their stuff available to their audience without YouTube's bullshit.
