There is a fediverse version of YouTube already called PeerTube. But people are finding it's incredibly expensive to host video streaming servers and is a large part why it hasn't really taken off.
Well, that and a host of other problems with its interface. Nobody's very interconnected, so it's hard to find videos.
Not to mention you're paying for it, where the goal for making videos to to get paid lol. Peertube has no ability to monetize, so even if the hosting was somehow solved, the monetization would prevent it from taking off.
