It would be nice if people would do this, especially the ones that are constantly talking about being deplatformed, shadow banned, etc. I know the reason though: Money. YT gives them a massive opportunity for profit and as much as we like to believe that these people are just genuinely interested in putting information out there, a lot of them are primarily after supporting their own bank accounts first.
If any major banned YT'r were to announce they were on LBRY, I'd follow them and I think a lot of other people would too. Baby steps I suppose because the world is still addicted to YT and many believe it is the only source.
Just curious who you're talking about. A few examples?
Political guys like Liberal Hivemind, JP Sears, Joseph Paul Watson, Anarchy is Unstoppable etc. I think only Anarchy is Unstoppable actually got deplatformed but the others talk about how they are shadow banned etc when if their message was truly what was important they would just move or at least post to other places but it's that YT money that they really want. Just my 2 pennies.
