He gets around 750 Million Youtube verified views per month , he's releasing about 5 hours of content per month.
He's not self-hosting that cheaply.
His sponsors are giving him the a nice pile of money based on his view count, he's not going to manage that on his own without the algo pumping users to him. Search engines kind of suck and video bloggers at that scale need organics to keep going.
You can't add monetization without discoverability and accessibility.
Looking at those numbers, I don't even know that peertube could handle it, he'd probably need to setup his own cluster to mirror them all.
There's a reason why we don't have a lot of competition to YouTube.
We need a site that points peertube users to the accounts of their old youtube favorites.
Grayjay is trying to address this. Their idea is that you follow creators rather than accounts on sites. I haven't tried it in a while it was not real good at it last time I tried it but it may be better by now
He'd probably have to have a dedicated video hosting site, not unlike GameTrailers and similars from the very early 2010s
