Is PeerTube's purpose to replace YouTube?

We can answer with certainty: no!

The ambition remains to be a free and decentralized alternative: the goal of an alternative is not to replace, but to propose something else, with different values, in parallel to what already exists.

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.
