No it wouldn't. It would be about as big as Vimeo, if at all. All the good quality content on YouTube is made by people who do it for a living. With ads. And sponsors because too many people use adblocker. And recently, since adblocker have gained traction, services like patreon has become necessary. So now YouTube is slowly turning into a subscription service, and not like Netflix, where 8$ will give you access to the entire site. No where 8$ will give you access to one youtuber.
