3) This logic would still require DMCA since again, "trusted" accounts or not, it would still mean that people can upload content that is not theirs to upload. This is what DMCA is for. Just accept that one little fact...

1. I only have to look at any page on pornhub to KNOW it can make a LOT more money.
2. I have spent years making relationships with companies. Not one of them has any reason to want to upload a competitors video and risk losing their account and the accompanying traffic and sales. Which is also why I would be the one personally selecting which vids went up on which day. It would be a very carefully thought out and executed daily procedure. Nobodies vid goes up without ME choosing it for that day.
Just like they didn't make hosted galleries that broke the rules because I CHECKED all of them by the thousands.
3. See "2"
DMCA was never needed for any free site promoting sponsors. The only thing DMCA is needed for is for you to make money off of other people's work.
But MY way would make much more money and everyone would be happy.
The only difference is it would actually require someone to WORK (that being me), and it would require your "team" to do something other than answer DMCA's
And quite frankly...I don't even need to give a sponsor an upload account. I can just do it the way I do it now on my tubes... ask them for the vids. Get them myself when they give them to me and put them in myself. No DMCA, no hatred, just making money.
