How can you be so sure? Even if 99.99% of it is crap and 99% of the rest is not of interest, that still leaves a huge number of videos.

I was once looking for an unabridged public domain film that I knew was there bcause I read so on some web site. (I know, but it was true because I eventually found it.) I got multiple hits on the title, but all were excerpts. It was fun to see all the related search strings pop up as I made and refined my search string, especially the desperate and increasingly lengthy ones trying for the entire film (None of those did any better than just the title by itself. I often see similar search attempts for various items on amazon with similar results.

Not counting direct links, I don't need all my fingers to count all the youtube videos that I have watched on my TV, in part becuase the search is such a time consuming and abysmal experience.
