will YouTube ever realisticly be replaced by a decentralized

It's possible but highly unlikely to be adopted as a standard. GNUnet tries to do something like that. The closest thing we have to decentralized net is torrenting and media is all against it. (((They))) will discourage everyone from using decentralized networks because "cp, gore, drugs..." because it would be the same as tor, impossible for the government and ISPs to regulate.
Plus the internet speeds and bandwidth limits are getting worsened everywhere now because "why would normies need more than 10mbps and suffocate the net".

>users seed the website they visit
turning your laptop into cache server with opened port is not realistic model
>decentralized video sharing
IPFS is really good at big files sharing and it's not hard to make gateway with JS video player so visitors don't need to install anything. Or good old torrent. Technologies are here already.
>replace YouTube
Maybe alternative for people who don't want to make money by it. Advertisers need statistics and decentralized model can't provide this. Users want the website to show them what to watch.
