If they weren't comfortable with not getting YT ad revenue, they wouldn't be uploading their content to alternative sites.

Relying on YT as the gatekeeper to your entire livelihood also has a cost. It's not trivial to calculate but I imagine it's greater than the loss of AdSense money. There's a reason many people who rely on video content creation to survive hedge through the likes of Nebula, Floatplane or, indeed, Odyssey.
