He doesn't necessarily need a room full of outsourced workers to do this. A room full of computers running multiple automation programs, randomized enough to appear human, could create hundreds of thousands of accounts across a myriad of tubes/forums with ease. Besides creating accounts and flagging vids, they could also do the uploading of shitty vids. All they'd need to outsource is the captcha cracking...and there are already plenty of services available for that.

Right now, the only way I could see tubes getting around it would be to limit flagging to users who've joined after a certain date. Like one year prior. Still he could just be creating accounts every day for the year, and then unleash the flagging fury on a daily basis after that.

I personally like the idea.
