This is my hope as well. If the majority of a content-creator's revenue comes from in-video sponsor segments, what difference does it make where the video is uploaded. Most podcasts follow this model, with the exception of ones that have a lucrative exclusive arrangement with a particular service, like Joe Rogan's on Spotify. This already happened with many of the right-wing creators that were banned from YT some time back. Many of these creators upload to multiple 'alt-tech' sites (e.g. Rumble), and rely on sponsors or direct support, which isn't locked to YT.
