Except, to some extent, TV is screened for quality. Quite obviously, it misses quite often, but to the extent that Youtube probably will? I doubt it. Dunno, might be interesting, might not. Will need a lot of work, I imagine.

I'd be happy if they'd just give me back the option to make a quicklist. This doesn't really sound like anything I'd use.

oh boy! I can't wait for the 'groin shot' channel

i like this idea..mainly for the music videos. and i'm guessing it'd be similar genres/videos of music? as long as it doesn't change the youtube GUI interface then im all for it

lolz, what incredibly fake smiles did the people on the couch show at the end of the clip.
This seems like an application for braindead couch potatos...do you think pressing the arrow keys is going to be too hard for them? Maybe they should make the interface include speech....when you say "DUUUHH" the next channel comes on. Seems appropriate.

good idea. took it for a spin, thought it reflected stuff I've seen over the past couple of months pretty accurately (duh.. obviously so, since I'm logged and they can track what I see). they should add controls that let you refine the videos, like pandora did with songs, bands and so on....
