Yeah, unfortunately is the only way. If peertube worked with monetization it maybe would be a better place than youtube.

It's also a matter of audience. Part of what lets Nebula work at all is the built-in audience for the creators that are there. Same with droput.tv and c5.now and even means.tv.

Peertube will work better as more and bigger creators cross-post to it. Another challenge it faces though is scaling and yes, monetization since there's no subscription system through the platform by default.
