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?

quoting note1p0w…5fd7I hope someday nostr will kill YouTube with simple piracy 🏴☠️
Just decentralize hosting, indexing, and searching of YouTube's library. Make a bittorrent-based app that lets you search YouTube and when you pick a video to watch, the app automatically checks if the video is available as a torrent, and if a torrent isn't available, you can download it from YouTube directly, add it to the torrent index, and start seeding.
