We probably need a PBS equivalent for streaming, as FB and Google and huge businesses alike will always put their financial goals and liabilities before the general public interest. This has worked well for Wikipedia, where money hasn't been, at least in most cases, able to permanently wipe unwanted information off of articles.
This doesn't mean there won't be copyright claims, but the burden should be on the copyright owner not the user. If this platform is a "public streaming system", then no ads are shown and the limits of infringement will be constrained by the lack of ads (ie "fair use"). Having no financial incentives for people to make money off of other people's work makes it all much simpler.
A "Wikitube" would have its many challenges, certainly, but resolution would lean on the side of the public interest, something that has been wildly forgotten in the digital age.
