youtube, you're busted!

What's everyone viewing on YouTube these days?  Is it more witty and original user generated 
lip syncing duos?  Nope.  Is it drama from a bunch of high school girls?  Nope.
Take a look here: http://www.youtube.com/browse?s=mp&t=m&c=0&l=EN
It's commercial advertisements and fake porn, with only 3 of the top 20 being user generated.

I hate to bash YouTube, but come on.  Fix your picture labelling and think of a better way to flag films fast.  The sad thing is, because everyone wants to look at porn, I'm sure the most clever people will just disguise whatever marketing message they want to send with screenshot of half naked Britney wrapped up in the shower.  As more clever bad guys catch on, you'll be fighting an endless battle of spam.

I read Mark Cuban's most recent post, and thought it was a great analogy to compare today's 
social networks to yesterday's forums.  With the lack of any real policing, the Youtube community will inevitably crumble.  Sooner rather than later.
