Um, you don't need YouTube to start up Minecraft. They're not connected like....even the slightest.
It's not because of YouTube that the game won't start. It has to be something else.
Open up the output log (its the first option under Settings), and copy and paste the output (both when Minecraft runs and crashes) to this. Then we can see what the problem is.

My son tells me Minecraft won't run.
Sure enough, click on Minecraft Launcher and only a blank window opens.
System is a Mac. Latest Java (but never gets to java). etc.
Doing debugging, packet captures, renaming Minecraft directories etc. Cannot figure it out.
Change to a different account on same machine and try again. Fresh install of Launcher. Same blank window.
See a dns query for youtube again. Ignored it the 3 hours ago.. Naww... no Way does this require a connection to an unrelated site to start up.
You see.. Youtube is blocked in my house. Too much shady stuff.. UnKid like vids pretending to be Kid like.
So I log into the firewall. Unblock youtube... and sure enough.. Minecraft starts right up.
Block youtube again. blank window.
Unbelievable. What dim witted dev thought that was a good idea?
