Maybe IPv6 traffic will get another boost now: for participants in the Google over IPv6 program the records for youtube now have been added:

$ host www.youtube.com
www.youtube.com is an alias for youtube-ui.l.google.com.
youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 74.125.77.100
youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 74.125.77.101
youtube-ui.l.google.com has address 74.125.77.102
youtube-ui.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:8001::8b
youtube-ui.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:8001::8a
youtube-ui.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:8001::65
youtube-ui.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:8001::71
youtube-ui.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:8001::64
youtube-ui.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:8001::66

Video is streamed from cache servers like:

$ host v1.lscache1.c.youtube.com
v1.lscache1.c.youtube.com is an alias for v1.lscache1.l.google.com.
v1.lscache1.l.google.com has address 82.94.228.144
v1.lscache1.l.google.com has IPv6 address 2a00:1450:4001::10

All reachable via IPv6. I'm almost tempted to try to try to play a youtube video via a v6-only connection and see what breaks.
