I can sort any search by popularity, and I can subscribe to users that often post good videos and see both the videos and what they're liking and commenting on.

I can sort any search by popularity, and I can subscribe to users that often post good videos and see both the videos and what they're liking and commenting on. YouTube already has user-created playlists too, completely searchable and discoverable by anyone. When I'm watching YouTube on my Google TV box, it even suggests playlists for me. I don't know where they come from, but somewhere YouTube is providing them -- everything from "trending videos" to "animals eating cookies". YouTube really has this handled -- I would not use the service you're describing. If I'm really bored and have to find some vetted videos, I'd go to http://www.reddit.com/domain/youtube.com/ http://www.reddit.com/domain/youtube.com/
