But that doesn't mean, for example, that I'm allowed to force myself on your house and shout at you because I have a right to you being my audience. You're not entitled to Youtube hosting your content, just as you're not entitled to NYT hosting your opinion, just as I'm not entitled to have my words on your private blog.

Right, the question is to what extent YouTube is in fact a house and to what extent it is a public square.

My view is that it is functionally a public square, regardless of who owns it. Compare a protest on the side of a road in a company town.
