I think you wanted to say "content farm" like all those sites that use wikipedia text.

I don't think their app is spam though, or a content farm. I can see how a video page[1] could be a "temporary" page to discuss some content away from the madness of youtube comments. Do you think google will object to such "mass embedding" of youtube videos?

You are spot on, the intention isn't to be spammy, its an attempt to intelligently organize video content around what people have to say about it.

Youtube (Google) incorporates plays from video embeds into its ad model, more embeds == more views == more $$ for them. They don't mind at all ;)
