PeerTube is an excellent idea, but it never took off. Maybe PeerTube will see better days when Google can’t pay for YouTube anymore.

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”.
