Why do you pretend that you are entitled to free video storage and bandwidth from YouTube? You haven't been sleighted. That service costs money to provide.

No, you don't have a right to free service either. Do you pay your other bills while you demand free rendered services from these companies?

Having a disability or similar does not entitle you to an unsubsidized Times Square with no ads.

(NASA is running their own streaming network and competing; it can be done. EU should try to run competing free video streaming businesses before shoving preferred American companies around with anti-competitive claims. EU haven't run a video hosting business that's been prevented from competing by the success, existence, and approved mergers and acquisitions of American media companies; and so EU video hosting businesses haven't and can't have been anti-conpetitively disadvantaged.)

I also run ad blockers for various justifiable reasons; but I don't tell myself that I have a right to free shtuff.

How the heck can you require only Netflix to host 30% local EU content and also demand free video streaming service with no ads?
