If aggregators, search engines, etc rely on opt-in, there will be no aggregation, searching, etc, and in the end no videoblogging.

I don't believe that statement to be true. I believe there should be a clear distinction between linking and embedding. The web, up to now, has been built on linking, not embedding. Embedding allows a site to suggest that it is the origin of the content, thus may derive the benefit of the aggregate traffic. Not helpful to the starving creators out there.
When I provide content via RSS, my intention is for someone to enjoy it for their personal, noncommercial use. If someone embeds that RSS within their own UI (User Interface), it truncates any ability I have to leverage ad units, enable rel=payment type schemas, and other opportunities to brand and generate revenue.
Remember "frames"? There were a few lawsuits back in the late 90's that upheld an aggregator of content did not have a right to frame said content and essentially call it their own.
Maybe I still just don't get it, (that's entirely possible). I am starting to think this is alot like Google's intention to archive copyrighted works so that they are searchable.
