Sure if you fundamentally change what YouTube you can make it work.

You need very small buffers or complete disablement of seeking even outside of ads. Otherwise a client can reconstruct the video without viewer interruption.

People however expect to be able to skip ahead in YouTube videos, otherwise its just TV.
