Related to that, colors of videos on the internet (and YouTube) are always kinda ugly and (I think) not very faithful of what the color artists intended to show

  It's probably more likely due to the fact that codecs for videos on YouTube tend to have lower resolution in the red and blue channels, which leads to very bad blocky artifacting around bright red and bright blue areas.

    I think everything else (Blu-Ray, DVD, cable TV) is using the same technique.

  YouTube don't seem to handle colour profiles correctly or there is some problem in the pipeline between uploading your video and it getting reproduced on screen by the player inside a web browser videos exported from e.g. FCPX have colour profile attached and look right when played back in Quicktime desktop player, but the contrast always gets messed up when it comes back through YouTube this is a separate issue from compression artefacts
