Hey - there are some pretty smart people out there. YouTube has the ability to tell where the videos it hosts are being linked and/or embedded. Maybe a list of terrorist website should be a red flag that a video should be removed? There should be some automatic stuff that just makes sense. If I, a SAHM homeschooler can find out this crap, then people who do it for a JOB should be able to at least run some sort of cursory search. I just can’t believe that I need to ignore what they are doing — is that what you’re telling me? Just give up because I am hurting their business? I guess YouTube’s just one of those good businesses that got in with the wrong crowd. It’s not really their fault. (Sorry BP — I’m not angry at you — the whole thing is just frustrating and I can’t believe you really mean what it sounds like you are saying! :-) )

They've put tools in place for us to help police the site much the same way FR has the "Abuse button". Sometimes things get through and the next thing you know you're featured on O'Reilly for being a hate site.

Again, videos by the hundreds of thousands uploaded per day. Losing a quarter billion each year. All you can do is keep flagging and hope for the best.

YouTube may very well be a thing of the past in a year or two.
