Perhaps a happy medium for Youtube and other content hosters might be to disaggregate content uploads into two buckets of service: 1.) Generalized content hosting that has minimal oversight with commenting, upvotes and monetization, etc. Basically "bring your own audience" Vimeo style. 2.) More carefully moderated content that gets reviewed by human moderators/stricter opinionated screening filters before it is pushed into the auto-recommendation engine/viral feed algorithm. This blind viral content also based solely on uplikes seems a bit too blind/automated.
