Who's paying to run a million servers?

Same people that pay for lemmy. Us.

It doesn't take much to host peertube TBH. And with each peertube instance, the videos get easier to host. It scales very well with the current iteration of software.

The two biggest issues are actually not software related:

  1. A platform is only as good as its users (creators and users who interact). Peertube has the issue that its not very popular, so creators have to really plug their stuff.
  2. Its not profitable for creators UNLESS they add a way to monetize. Some argue that with secondary sources such as patreon, its not an issue, But I just don't see it.

Im pretty happy with what it does NOW. I like the ability to post my videos and get comments without getting flagged for whatever on Youtube. I like my friends and family (and sometimes us weirdos) looking at my videos. And I like the slow trickle of people hosting their videos on say makertube, peertube.wtf, and other such platforms. They seem like really fun individuals and im having a blast.

I disagree, the biggest issues are related to discoverability, and most certainly software-related.

Peertube has the issue that its not very popular, so creators have to really plug their stuff.

Not necessarily. They only need to agree to allow an instance to mirror their content, and possibly one day contribute something to it in the event that it becomes popular enough. For now, consent is really all that's required. The only revenue they're missing out on is AdSense.

Its not profitable for creators UNLESS they add a way to monetize. Some argue that with secondary sources such as patreon, its not an issue, But I just don't see it.

Patreon is one of many different ways to generate revenue. Most popular Youtubers are diversifying in various ways. The most effective of which is creating their own products and using their channels to promote them. Affiliate links/codes is another way smaller creators can diversify.

I like the ability to post my videos and get comments without getting flagged for whatever on Youtube.

As always, with freedom comes abuse. Youtube has a lot of regulations that can be cumbersome but also can protect creators and users.

Hosts and users who want their stuff available to their audience without YouTube's bullshit.
