I'm a big fan of CYOA books (especially the old Steve Jackson ones). You could probably find a niche market for CYOA video, sure. I'm tempted to do one, too.
About a year ago, someone on the forums posted their CYOA attempt. It was pretty basic, but the mechanics for it are already built into YouTube - stopping playback automatically at pre-determined points, and URL t= overlays for choices. I'll see if I can find that thread.

I'm a fan as well (still have my old Grail Quest and D&D Endless Quest books. Nearly the full collection of the latter). I've enjoyed some of the video attempts at it (D&D Scourge of Winds DVD). If I recall, the sequel to the House on Haunted Hill remake had a CYOA mode on the blu-ray (never saw it...the regular version wasn't that great, but I wonder if it might have been better interactive).
YouTube seems like a great medium for it. To do it right, I imagine production would be tough, depending on how many forks you put in (and how long between forks)

I think they are very fun 
But they require lots of preparation.
But they require lots of preparation.I'd like to check out more of these. I liked the feature on 11:14 that allowed you to switch around and see what what going on elsewhere at the same time with another character.
