Vick, excessive linking to a single place could be a problem even. Again, you do not know what the parameters are, most of us are guessing, but I could guess that the value of a site that links only to 1000 google pages would be pretty low, regardless of who links to you.
As your youtube, first things first. It doesn't matter HOW it got there, it is a question, is youtube showing pr3? Answer is yes, and you lose your $950. IN fact, it continues to show a PR3 right now. That isn't artificial or an error, that is how the update ran and that is that. If there is a problem, it is likely that youtube.com breaks one or more of the rules for calculating PR or generating the index page, and now Google will have to manually cheat the system to bring their baby back. At that point, PR8 or PR10 would be entirely fake, and not representitive of what the domain would have earned when subjected to the same update as the rest of us.
What you see at PR3 is what everyone else would have been judged to have, if they weren't owned by google.
