  Would probably violate trademark law and icann would make you give it up. I guess if you go opennic or use a different alternative root they might not care about court-ordered domain forfeitures.

          Put Adblock on it and JS out all the comments.

    Not if what you show isn't the primary market of YouTube.

  YouTube using you.tube would lend credence to the rest of the .tube TLD actually.

  It was registered in 2016 by MarkMonitor. My guess is that YouTube already owns it.
