To echo the other response:

When did YouTube become a government? The context is different. No matter what YouTube does, I can still host my own video.

Youtube has become so large precisely because this is a very difficult problem to solve.

Putting up content on a webserver is not a Youtube competitor.

Is anyone preventing me, by force or law, from hosting video on my own website? If not, you cannot compare government mandated anything with market forces. All you're saying here is that youtube is a really good product. That doesn't make obvious competitors "not count".
