This is a case for Brainstorming. For example, what's wrong with a tool which allows each user to define a whitelist and blacklist? If that were doable it would be a wonderful competitive advantage for Blip. If I worked there I would propose that Blip be the first video hosting provider to allow users to define their own rewrite rules via a web-based UI.
