Well, first, YouTube was better before people started getting paid anyway.
Second: they could use Patreon or one of those platforms. They could put embedded ads in their videos, like podcasts do. They could have members-only servers. There’s a lot of options.
It won’t happen, though, cuz the bigger question is: how do instances pay for storage and bandwidth? That’s not optional, that must be paid for.
