When I posted about the possibility of raising the sanity waterline enough to improve the comments at youtube, it actually felt wildly amibitious.

Where would achieving that much fit on the list?

I think, given how many millions of minds it would have to affect and how much sanity increase it would require, it sounds a lot like 6 in practice. (Unless the approach is "Build a company big enough to buy Google, and then limit comments to people who are sane", in which case, 2.)

Or you could build a Youtube competitor that draws most users away from Youtube, which is between 0.5 and 1.
