Stop ranting. So you're afraid that because your users are technical, they won't rate your video out of principle? If that's the case, your same users will understand, or even applaud you if you started using another service to host your content. This could even be good for you. Also, any smart person that builds a business model on top of a service that they aren't paying for would have a contingency plan for when that service stops meeting their expectations. And it will do that, because you are not the customer, the advertisers on YouTube and Google+ are the customers, you are the product. And so, when things like this happen, it shouldn't cause you a sweat, because it simply means you enact your contingency plan.
