Your Internet connection speed could be the problem, how fast is it? I don't know how the 6570 actually handles 4k video but streaming takes a lot more bandwidth.

You need 12Mbps-20Mbps (depending on codec) to stream 4k. So that is out of reach for many people.

4K will boost the lower end internet speed as the companies try and increase the bandwidth to accommodate for people wanting to stream 4k resolution. I think my provider calls the tier "Essentials."

I seem to recall there was a website that allowed you to turn a YouTube video into a downloadable video file. Sounds like you may need that... At least do one to try it out and see if you can play a 4K video file at all.

Are the 4k videos on Youtube actually 4k or are they heavily compressed where the resolution is no longer truly 4k?

Maybe that doesn't make sense...what I really want to know is if the bitrate is high enough for it to be a noticeable increase over 1080p. It should look better than a 1080p Blu-Ray for it to be considered an upgrade in resolution for me.
