It seems you are in agreement with others that karma is better than youtube likes. This matches my current intuition. Anyone have other suggestions on possible judging mechanisms?
One thing that occurs to me is we could make the prize be something that does not pay out until some kind of milestone is reached, e.g. whatever the usual criteria is for a video having gone viral. Then the incentive would tend to build over time.
Maybe use smaller / more specific prizes for starter incentives (e.g. 1 BTC, or perhaps $10, for each video that gets more than 10 Less Wrong karma votes).
