ELI5: What Prevents US third-party Candidates from organizing a debate hosted on Youtube?

It boggles my mind that they dont even try to use the power and ease of access of the internet to break the Two-party stranglehold on the media.

Nothing prevents it.  But if they held such a debate and it drew little attention, they would lose both credibility and moral authority.  

Complaining that someone else is failing to give them exposure gives them a platform, while standing up and trying to host their own debate would run the risk of having to test their popularity.
