Why does running PeerTube set you back anything?

Yes SaidIt could technically host a PeerTube instance but CPU for transcoding and storage space are not trivial and this isn't our core mission or even on our roadmap. If we openly ran this stream it seems a bit risky.

Why does it cost someone something? Because PeerTube is federated and doesn't rely on some pie in the sky ICO that will be deader than shit in 12 months. People actually own and control their instances and data.
