You pay for utilities, you don't pay for YouTube or Twitter. Forcing them to carry content is in effect forcing them to either take a loss on that content, or force advertisers to advertise alongside content that they probably don't want associated with their brand.

The customer doesn't set the price. if YouTube and Twitter set their price too low, that's their own fault. They have to figure that out, just like a utility company which provides water or electricity: arrive at a sustainable price that isn't punitive, grossly abusive of the customers and discriminatory.
