You laid out a really good point here, advertisers with big wallets are not going to bet their brand on a decentralized video platform without any centralized moderation.
And without those large advertisers your CPM will be extremely low which will just invite even more content aimed at capturing that market (spam, low quality videos).
People forget that decentralization doesn't work well for some industries, especially ones that rely on ad revenues (centralized entities) that rely on centralized control over audiences and content allowed on the platform.
There's a reason Youtube works so well and its because of its censorship and AI led moderation to appease the big advertisers. You can't rely on some regular joe advertising his Token on PeerTube to continue paying in crypto and neither can creators rely on PeerTube to be able to convert tokens on a third party exchange that is facing insolvency.
It's amazing to me how quickly people forget the on-ramp and off-ramp of money is still fiat, nobody is going to hold on to PeerTube's tokens for decades.
