YouTube has essentially created a monster. Every idiot out there can upload unending amounts of super high rez footage. Even if everyone who was capable of handling their own hosting spun up a node, we'd never be able to handle 1/10 of 1% of YouTubes daily upload and that's not even mentioning the storage requirements.
The big guys aren't going to want to host over there because there's no money in it.
