Realistically? Virtually impossible. Youtube handles petabytes of data daily, and just the storage capacity would burn the money of everyone but the big corporations. There simply isn't a way to compete with a corporation that can afford to throw millions at a machine that doesn't make profit enough to cover those massive costs.
You're considering only the prospect of doing things the YouTube way, as a service owned and operated by a single entity. As my dad was known to say "there is more than one way to skin a cat." Who knows whether that is literally true, but the metaphor has proven accurate every time someone finds a different, often better, way to do something.
