They explicitly say in their description they're not a replacement for YouTube.
Which description? That Wikipedia article says "The aim is to provide an alternative to centralized platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Dailymotion."
From their website. It's a very different system, and also not funded by advertisers, which means someone else has to pay the bills.
They're saying they're not a "replacement" because it's a decentralized alternative to something centralized. Not because it can't serve the same needs for technical or economic reasons.
