Is there a way to release a work under a copyleft license without preventing other people from sharing a copy of it on YouTube (only allows selecting standard YouTube license or permissive Creative Commons license) and similar platforms?

    I’d say to ignore the platform licensing and just make sure that the license appears in the media itself (which it should, anyway, in case anybody finds it randomly) and marked in descriptions.

    YouTube seems interesting, because there’s so much garbage listed as CC-BY that almost certainly doesn’t have any legitimate permission for it, and I’ve never found actual Creative Commons content through that route, so that probably informs my “just ignore it” thinking…
