I don't think you truly understand what "no moderation" actually means. No moderation means you have to accept porn (and I don't mean "oh look a titty" not-really-porn; I mean hardcore revenge porn); it means you have to accept the dreggiest of spam imaginable. In general, it means accepting the sort of videos that are so offensive to people that you're going to get sued anyways by people who are upset over content on your site, even though technically you're not liable for it (this already happens today in spades, even with §230 immunity).
And an unmoderated site isn't going to be all that fun for users. If there's no curation, you're going to mostly find dreck, which will turn users onto platforms that actually have content worth consuming. If there's curation, well congratulations, content creators still have to pander to the curation rules which is effectively the same moderation environment anyways.
