The edgy content market is large, once GTA5 video creators move somewhere they take their audiences with them who probably wouldn't care what site they were on. Then its a snowball, the commentary community, history channels, and other people producing unsavory content would move and establish themselves else were without a second thought as long as a monetary deal can be struck. Once their audiences move that causes other creators to either see an opportunity to cash in early, or get worried and move regardless of what they make, it doesn't matter, they will move eventually. The only people I wouldn't see moving are those who are naturally sanitized , people like YT animators and kids gaming channels, those who hit trending most frequently. But they may move at a much later date to places like NG or our hypothetical competitor, but only once the audiences have truly left YT.
