I finally read thru some of this. I don't see how they are going to get You
Tube to caption every cute kitten clip.

Not all, as I understand it (and I don't understand it that deeply). Here's
a recent RBR story on the topic:
FCC adopts closed captioning protocol for internet video
http://www.rbr.com/media-news/washington-beat/fcc-adopts-closed-captioning-p
rotocol-for-internet-video.html
Here's the FCC's Rule and Order (along with statements from a couple
commissioners):

But in Washington nothing is inevitable... Other than bickering. Check out
this just-posted TV Tech article:
Churches File for New Closed-Caption Exemptions
October order vacated basis of previous exemptions
WASHINGTON: Around 80 religious programmers have filed for new
financial-hardship exemptions from closed-captioning rules. The Federal
Communications Commission changed the qualifications for exemptions last
October, and notified 590 programmers they would have to file new petitions
for exemptions granted under rules established in 2006. The deadline for
those petitions was last Wednesday. Those who failed to petition the FCC for
a new exemption had to start providing closed captions by the next day,
Thursday, Jan. 19.
[then some useful background and explication..Then at the end of the
article...]
Under the commission's revised criteria, exemptions will be reviewed on a
case-by-case basis. It will consider the duration of each exemption
likewise.
"In this regard, the commission recognized that 'changes in technology, the
economics of captioning or the financial resources of a video programming
provider may affect the justification of an undue burden exemption' over
time," the FCC October order stated.

Am I reading correctly that beginning this coming July all video distributed
on U.S.-based internet sites will be required to provided closed captioning?
Religious. Educational. Professional tutorials. Corporate promotional &
training.
