The site Sir_Cmpn linked above (https://mediacru.sh) apparently allows video uploads.

If imgur approaches Youtube's scale won't the comments on imgur also become toxic?

This still appears to be an unsolved issue (although, one could argue whether it is really an "issue"). Google's G+ approach (barring anonymous comments, etc) does not appear to have addressed the core concern.

i have been getting tired of all interface complications on youtube, I think this would be a welcome place for interesting and funny videos - old you tube style. number of things I have too look at and click to get to my channels is slowly growing which is pita.

Although I tried using imgur a few times, I could not upload images a number of times, subjectively I don't know how they get that much money for such service... bubble is it?

Transcoding videos is very, very expensive.

I didn't even think of this possible vertical for imgur.. great observation.

I believe that is the thinking behind vidd.me
