Can YouTube be used as a way to copyright your own material seeing as it has the date of when your video or audio was uploaded?

This is a variation of the "poor man's copyright" method of sending yourself a copy in the mail and leaving it unopened to prove a date of creation.
Uploading to YouTube or any other file storage service may add some additional corroboration but has no "official" status in a court of law. Under US law the only way to legally register a copyright is with the US Copyright office.
There is no requirement to register a copyright or to display a copyright notice for a work to be protected. Copyright protection is automatic, as soon as a work of sufficient originality is "fixed in a tangible medium, perceptible to human eye, machine reader or other device".

The phrase is one used by people who are against extending the amount of time copyrights remain in effect before the copyrighted material becomes part of the public domain.
