It's so obvious what the real solution is now that you have laid it out like this. Your use-case was never best fit through YouTube. Doing so was always harmful to getting the job done, it's just even worse now. Your use-case was always best fit through the Home Improvement/DIY StackExchange site[0], where an answer is a link to a YouTube video. You can then easily compare different videos, comment and dislike them, and the best videos for that use-case would get to the top of the page. This may very well be a repeat of Digg 4.0. If we can get the word out that everyone should move their queries from asking YouTube to asking StackExchange, the entire space can be improved over-night. It's all already waiting for us.
