Thinking about this more, we're 95% of the way there already - nostr already indexes bittorrent infohashes, and there are already YouTube frontends.
It might help if nostr's bittorrent indexing added a text field for YouTube video ID (watch?v=id)
To credit original creators, the client could also use a new npub for every upload, with an automatically-generated kind 0 profile called "@youtubehandle reposter" (replacing youtubehandle as appropriate)
I might have to make a bounty for this, we're so close. A bounty might not even be needed though, surely I'm not the only one thinking of this?

The perfect YouTube-killing app would be pretty simple to make in my opinion. I've posted a description before, here

Idk if blossom is the tech for that
I posted about how to take on YouTube a while ago, thought about making a dev bounty for it but couldn't find a good enough platform for posting dev bounties
