If you’re making content for fun and not trying to make money off it then PeerTube would be the way to go. You can help build the catalog. If you want to make money then unfortunately YouTube is kinda the only way.
I've been thinking too, that if I generate content I should post to both services, but mention the better one. Like "if you want no ads, I'm on peertube as well". Naturally drive people there.
Floatplane is what a lot of my medium sized subscriptions are switching over to as their income source. Upload to YouTube but offer early videos or extra content to floatplane subscribers.
YouTube will pull the rug out from under you over and over again when it comes to monetization.
