Its nearly impossible to replicate what YouTube it is today.

Why would we want to? People want to replace Youtube because Youtube sucks ass. Replacing it with another monetized platform will only ever lead to the same place Youtube is at now.

It sucks that people who managed to make a living from their hobby have gotten fucked over, but until we have some major regulatory and economic overhauls, that's just how it works. Changing platforms is not a solution to that.

Because what's the point otherwise. Let's just make a YouTube without videos. That will surely work.
