whether they understand the social/business consequences to becoming a den for spam is another thing.. it can definitely kill a site quickly.
i've thought about the idea of marketing some of my mainstream sites through viral videos.. it definitely works. but if youtube degrades into a giant paid programming thing, it could kill them quickly. there are plenty of youtube/break.com/etc's out there.

I've been using youtube for a while now, uploading videos that arewatermarked (as you mentioned) and it's worked quite well. The comments up until now have been 100% real and no spamming crap.
Hopefully this type of thing gets quickly ushered towards teh door. Obviously it would be nigh on impossible to get rid of all spam but if it could be quashed as much as possible then that'd be great...
