most posts seem to enter a dead zone in the middle of the queue. the first and last few pages garner many more votes than the middle pages. so I suggest either making the queue shorter, or randomizing the order that the queue is presented.

the random order needs to be persistent and biased. when a session starts, the order should be determined and stored. videos which may have been seen by the member should be segregated to the back, especially videos which were already voted for. new videos added after the session starts would still be added to the first page of the queue. there should be a way to reshuffle videos. when navigating away from a page in the queue, for instance to the next page, the videos on that page should be marked as likely to have been viewed for that session or member.

instead of using a session, it could be that anonymous visitors get date order and members get a persistent random order. if it is feasible, I think all random is the way to go. either way, it is important that the random order be different for each user.

I am guessing that many visitors to the queue have just posted a video. for myself, I try to hit a page or two of the queue when I submit something. by using a random order, every video would probably get about the same number of views but they would be spread across a more varied audience.

the other thing this would affect is hot times to submit videos. there are currently optimal times of day and week to submit certain videos. this would diffuse the hot times, giving all videos a chance to appeal to all audiences. this seems like a good thing to me, but is definitely an opinion and some posters probably rely on it.
