Without those you will have the same content form partner accounts that everyone else has and much less of a back inventory then the large tubes. The end result would be that you can't compete.
I like the idea of a new tube though, this is just my opinion about that portion of your idea.

I agree with your thoughts but the problem with "real" user submitted videos is someone has to determine whether they are "real" or not. This destroys the 'safe harbor' provision in the DMCA law, as I understand things. So this is why anything and everything seems to get through on most tubes and stays up until they get a DMCA notice. I would like to avoid that game as much as possible.
Again, not looking to compete with big tubes (an impossibility in today's climate IMHO).
