People bitch about the algorithm but it's actually pretty nice having things you're more likely to enjoy come to you than having to try and hunt them down with nothing but a very poor search function.

I want it to recommend me shit I would probably enjoy; I just don't want it to recommend me shit in an attempt to brainwash me with their agenda. Barring that, get a better search function. Utilize tags and categories. Allow users to tag others' videos because you can't expect the uploader to think of every possible connection it could have.

I want to like Loops, but it's 90% random nature shots that don't need to be videos and finding anything else is a PITA.
