It's not SPAM, people choose to watch it, and if more do, it grows in popularity. SPAM would be if it were poster under false-pretense.

The videos are not advertising fake, illegal drugs, porn, or something against YT TOS, so it should not be consider spam.

Nice Videos, I like the first one more. Reminds me of that show with the talking French fries, meat ball, and soft drink cup.

Just discovered a complete list of all marked down products at Amazon, sorted by category
and % off, ranging from 50% off to 90% off (thanks Sonja for the effort).

Actually I never thought Amazon would have articles with 90% off, but only in the category
Electronics there are more than 3000 of them – look for yourself, the list is on
http://bargains-hunter.blogspot.com/2008/02/looking-for-marked-down-prices.html
or on http://digg.com/gadgets/Actually_I_never_thought_Amazon_would_have_articles_with_90
(which is a blog of a woman who specializes in finding good deals at Amazon, like Britain’s “Jeanie”).

Loren, regarding your comment (#25), you’re right that the same thing in search engine results or email would be considered spam. But the key difference that this article missed is there is also a user community that is capable and already provided with the tools to do the necessary policing.

Therefore YouTube does not have to proactively hunt down and remove these videos – they’ll never become popular unless the community allows them to. So while in the search engine or email analogy the company has to adapt, in this case that is not so.

The article seemed to imply that only YouTube could effectively resolve the issue, but the users are perfectly capable (and are) doing policing themselves.

Thanks Frank for the reality adz tip.

What I don’t like about YouTube is all the pornography on YouTube. It’s just a porn site and I wouldn’t want my daughter to be clicking on it
