Good question, but I think it would be the least of a creator's worries. Creators get paid for ad views, not for video views. Since Piped doesn't show ads and doesn't help YouTube's recommendation algorithm figure out who else would like the video, it will be harder for the creator to pay their bills (they can't all be MBKHD) and find an audience.
To be fair, YouTube ad loads have gotten obnoxious, and I understand why people are wary of Google. I'm just glad I don't depend on unpredictable YouTube income.
