Unlikely.

A YouTube competitor has to offer worthwhile incentives to creators who can also be on youtube

Eg. Vidme: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=r3snVCRo_bI

If it's anything like network TV when YouTube was a rising star the people left that have been deemed acceptable will only be the ones that old people want to watch. The kids I suspect will move on like they always have to places with freer expression.

They might, but at the same time, if that's something everybody wanted everybody would already have migrated to 4chan.

I suspect this change will have little impact on YouTube use numbers. Most people didn't want to see the Oath Keepers's content.
