> I think you're still going to bump up against scaling issues with this solution. Youtube has something like 500hrs of new content uploaded to it every minute, and I've heard speculation that this solution couldn't possibly be solved by humans because there simply isn't enough of us on earth.

Doesn't his means they've scaled beyond sustainable? As I read it, it's a good argument for them being broken up.




Breaking them up won't reduce the new videos total, or increase the number of humans on earth. So Breaking them up doesn't help.

I think a 'bond' system where you put up money to get human appeal, and get half back if the appeal is successful. Maybe with increasing bond as you lose more appeals. Is a much better system.
