Your inability to reach anyone at YouTube, coupled with Steve's reticence to provide us with contact information, seems to me to suggest that YT has no interest in direct participation (communication) with its users, or fostering any greater sense of community beyond videoblogging (which is consistent with the comment limitations we've observed numerous times).
This leads me to speculate that YT desires more corporate legitimacy, of a sort. To be thought of as a broadcasting company rather than a site (and we can find plenty of evidence for this, such as the debates). After all, the average person can't just click a few links and talk to a producer at NBC, can they?
Or maybe it's just because the company is so much smaller than we initially thought, and they don't want to hire any more PR people.
