Sadly the internet is a highly privatized place. Entities like YouTube must curate their content at least to the degree that they do not violate law or fail to make a profit. It would be nice if we had the data equivalent of the post office. That is to say, a service that is completely content neutral and bears no legal liability for anything transmitted across it.

Or force YouTube to do as you wish while remaining gratis and not introducing quotas and similar restrictions or limitations?

With the same privacy protections that come with checking out a book from the library, the concept of it running at a cost, and the first amendment protecting the content of the website.
