change to win? How can you fix the symptons if you ignore the disease: Central planning and financial collusion.

so dag... dangerously close to a mission statement there... the front page, and the most popular videos, are what this site is all about? A kind of opinion poll to see what the most popular videos are?

the trouble is you said "sifting out the best" ... i thought "best" was subjective? i mean, you're saying that VideoSift is a lottery where some clips that appeal to a broad viewership will be listed.

also you say you understand me, but you call my idea "everyone's a winner" ... which i clearly didn't say. I said "only crap should be discarded", and i didn't suggest changing who "wins" i just said why not make it easier to find the "losers" by having a third, middle category.

Anyway, at least you admitted this site is focussed on the idea of building a "meme-o-meter". now we're getting somewhere.

Shame though, because I can't be bothered wading through the "popular" shit any more, it's taking exponentially longer to find a video i want to see, and you don't seem to be focussed on implementing any features to catalog the rejects... so... it's actually easier for me to find "good" stuff on youtube now.

i used to like the meme-o-meter, because it was a smaller community here with a bias i enjoyed, therefore the "winners" were more often things i would pick myself. now it's bigger and racing towards grey goo, and attracting more and more fans of grey goo.
