Hi Cory. Could you make it so that next button doesn't disappear? I tend to hover over next buttons so that I can click next, click next, click next, but it had faded away when I wanted to click it. Also, you might want to be careful of what videos you show, or have categories / ratings. One of first that came up was a man being mauled by a lion with a screaming crowd. It was quite shocking. I think the idea is good (the site, not being mauled by a lion). It's something that I think is lacking from YouTube, although it is now possible with music videos.

Thanks for your feedback. It may not have been obvious in the intro screen, but we've enabled keyboard controls so that you can use your left/right arrows to skip back/forward, up/down arrows to control the volume, spacebar to play/pause, etc.

Knowing that, would you still want the arrows there?

Cool, keyboard shortcuts are great, but easy to forget, so visual controller are always good.
Additionally, we're still fine-tuning the algorithm that determines when to show what videos, but in general we want it to reflect what the masses think are the best...brutality and all.
Maybe that can be your tagline...
