      In time the technical knowledge requirements may be reduced. I could see a small company selling pre-setup media servers with a couple TB of storage. Just plug it in, load up your videos and your basically done.

      And if you don’t have comments/users, there is little that needs to be maintained.

      It’s not perfect, but there will eventually be a point where YouTube becomes so enshitified that people begin to switch to alternatives.

        Nah, your ISP doesn’t give you enough bandwidth to host your own mini YouTube. You vastly underestimate the bandwidth required to run the service. It’s massive, which is why PeerTube is having a hard time gaining traction.
