Peertube is a federated platform... running your own instance or using an existing open instance that has some content restrictions would solve the mature content issue. As far as 'views', in reality the vast majority of Youtube channels also get very few views. You can advertise/promote the Peertube instance just like you would promote a Youtube channel. Another alternative is to just have Peertube mirror your YouTube channel and link to the instance in every video. It really depends on the type of content you produce and how your content is 'discovered' but unless you are on the winning side of the Youtube algorithm, peertube isn't that worse.
