If you can find a way to get the people either providing or consuming the media to pay, that might work (though not so much at eating YouTube's lunch as serving a different market).

If you want to monetize that with advertising, good luck: YouTube's content restrictions follow the general trend of big advertising-supported media, because its what the paying customers for that want.

Yup.

It's why the walking dead can show gratuitous over the top violence, but they have save "They're fucking with the wrong people" for the blu-ray.

Can't have that swearing. Oh no.
