It’s true that the monetisation of everything is pretty awful, but it’s one of the most important reasons to join a platform for content creators whether we like it or not.
The main reason to join a platform for a creator is the amount of the potential viewers, which of course don’t increase much without new content creators. Therefore Peertube needs a secondary reason for creators to join, which it doesn’t seem to have.
If anything, joining Peertube will in theory decrease their income, which actually gives them a reason to not join :(
Monetization is in the pipeline for PeerTube. Since viewers share parts of the video with other viewer peers (like torrenting), viral videos do not cost PeerTube servers like they would on YouTube.
