So... I mean, when it comes down to it, YouTube is obligated by court order to implement the new TOS, so even if people do stick to the walkout as planned it won't make a difference in the short term.

At best it'll nudge some future refinement to the process, but having worked for YouTube myself (in the Los Angeles office), I can be reasonably certain that such revision is already in the plans -- YouTube never leaves anything as static and unmodifiable. Their entire modus operandi is to try something, see what happens, collect information and observations, and iteratively improve on it based on their findings.
