This is an interesting economics problem. How can a p2p FOSS alternative compete with advertising revenue? The YouTube creators don't even get most of the money, so it wouldn't need to be perfect to be better.
Yeah I think it's doable since most of the revenues are through sponsorship and you can evaluate the audience with likes and subscriptions
