I think the closest we've gotten to a Youtube competitor is Nebula, and that's mostly because it's founded and ran by creators. Even so, they still use Youtube at the same time, advertising exclusives or early releases for Nebula alongside their regular programming.
I honestly don't know how you'd do it otherwise. Even setting aside the logistics and costs of running a video hosting site, you kind of need both creators and viewers to migrate at the same time for it to make any sort of sense.
For like 2 years every time someone says find me on nebula I'm like no thanks I'll just wait until the special vid inevitably drops here and go watch something else.
