YouTube will not stop until the site is Unusable by anyone without over paying for every second they are there. YouTube as a free site is doomed
If they push hard enough eventually there will be a replacement.
Federation could solve this. All you need is one flagship instance that doesn't allow uploads, but it allows users to create accounts and playlists to act as "the" site for the federated network and then content creators can start their own instances.
