So, given AI is destroying YT, if you're any sort of a creator at all, even if you just have some random posts from years ago that you uploaded with no intention of getting popular, you really should move your stuff to PeerTube, ideally on a self-hosted instance if you have the hardware to spare, while you still can, because things are only going to get worse for YT.

Even Odysee is a decent alternative if you want more traction, but PeerTube is more ideal as an alternative platform due to having the ability to self-host an instance there and have complete control of your content and presence down to owning the infrastructure you're posting on.

It's not an excuse, but it is a reason. It's not like YouTube is required for living.

Should people living in an area served by only one electricity provider disconnect their service and just go without if the company pulls an abusive maneuver?

Most people don't even consider alternatives to the status quo. For the few that do consider pros and cons of YouTube, the pros of the platform are winning. So long as that's where the creators are posting videos, YouTube is in a position to keep winning.
