I read many comments on how PeerTube isn't sustainable as a YouTube alternative and, while it's certainly true right now, are we sure it will be the same in the near future?

The platform is growing and the new mobile app is making great progress; I can certainly see some people investing in a major instance some day, accelerating the platform adoption.

Does peertube actually host anything or is it just a frontend? All I've ever seen people linking to it are videos from YouTube, using PeerTube (and a couple other YT alternatives) as the interface.

Yep not sustainable. Think of how much diak space YouTube is using. Just was reading this morning how peertube instances limit new users and that's ok. If everyone can't upload videos it we'll never replace YouTube.
