I'm not against pre-populated directories if they are done right, and you know what I mean.
I chose not to do this for vlogdir because I wanted the growth of the directory to be community-driven. I like to see it grow.  It's like a living machine, videoblogging is, contagious and spreading.  I put a seed out there.  It grows from the interest of real people around the world.  I think that's pretty neat, despite the sacrifice of a practicality.  
I also do not have to worry about removal requests or accidental bandwidth issues that vlogdir may cause.

This was my deployment choice.  Right or wrong, is what it is.
Maybe that will change one day.

Michael, I'm not sure what your philosophy is on that, but why not populate it? It would be more effective, it seems, if you would add links that you find.

As a user of the directory, I am not sure what the advantage is to me to have it be like this. It does not limit the quality of the entries does it? It seems like it only limits the size of the directory?

It's just a directory. Free advertising. Just like mefeedia.com,
vlogdir.com, vlogmap.org and all the other videoblog directories.
