THIS SITE IS A JOKE

This site is a joke! They are deceiving and make it seem like anyone can promote their video's here. If you spend $139 to post your video on here for 24 hours then you are a complete idiot! They are in it for the money and not promotion at all. The people who run this site are complete morons and don't understand the meaning of video promotion. My tip to you, find a new idea for a scam because this one definitely didn't fool me.
BoneRemake says...

You obviously do not understand what the site is aboot.

I like your vigor, if it had a spec of footing I would respect the post in itself. The site is not to promote your own videos, it is to take videos from other sources and collect them here and vote on them and the "cream" is supposed to rise to the top. That is what WE are about.

WELCOME TO VIDEOSIFT !

Yep - this is a solid case of not understanding how VideoSift works. 99.999999999% of the videos on here are not paid for. We've only had two promoted videos I think in the last year. Both were clearly marked as promoted.

lucky760 says...

The poster is totally correct. We are not in it for video promotion at all.

Plus, I may be revealing too much, but dag and I have had secret meetings every fortnight for the past 8 years planning how to continue scamming even more suckers into posting quality content they aren't associated with and scamming even more millions of people into watching them, all so once every year or two someone will pay a mite's ransom for the scam of 24 hours on the front page.

You got us!

BoneRemake says...

I wish I could say I have something every FORTE NIGHT . shit... even if I cleaned or washed windows or made a steak. OR FISH out of the ordinary.

Fortnights are something to take a gasp on and appreciate everyone.

We all need a forte night or two

The sites a joke for reasons other than this user has chimed-in without understanding the jyst of 'reading anything before purchasing:' Here's a short list:

Hypocrisy/Double standards: Popularity fuels status through brown-nosing and robotic insincerity garners votes rather than content quality prompting the same.

Most people are afraid to cast a down-vote for content rather, they do it when they don't 'like' someone. Petty, pussified, and worthlessly dishonest.

Others, users with nothing better to do than to single out another for divisive abuse when his/her opinion or message doesn't jibe with their cloistered or developmentally-disabled world view, push the envelope with sophomoric rambling or graffiti in the form of retarded commentary on profiles or blatant rule-breaking while admins turn a lazy blind,or otherwise complicate eye....Seek professional help or leave the house every once in a while....Works wonders, kids.

Cocksuckers-by-choice, continue to bring the overall quality of the site down with inane ink-well-dipping and hair-pulling or other wise goading for example, Christians, those with conservative-leaning sensibilities, or constructive-critics, enough so that they stop contributing altogether, lurk, or disappear.

From time-to-time, it has been the job of the strongest-willed and long-suffering,to gently guide these users up the pathway upwards and into their own asses rather than enjoy the place and make whoopee with great content....

Yeah mygamesarefun, don't care if you joined by mistake or were simply dull, there is indeed an air of douche here that's entrenched which continually befouls the collective spirit of community.


Won't name names on my list, cocksuckers-by-choice have mirrors on walls in their funk-caves, down the hall from their game-controllers and pizza-stained and blistered microwaves, as well as the lavatories at their shit jobs or in their fucking mother's basement....Any doubts? Just look at the banter above and save your fucking money.

Oh and.....Have a NICE day.

(cue comment down-votes, and fuck-off.)


Some of the most egregious of violators are sure to chime-in on this thread, stay tuned for more guano, coming-up next.

artician says...

But in all seriousness, the OP probably had the concept of paid-features presented to them wrong, or they didn't understand it in the context of this site.
I don't like paid-to-win inequality, but I've always felt the reason for allowing that was to just generate some revenue to keep the site running, while being just expensive enough to keep it from turning into a commercial free-for-all.

i.e. People who pay to feature videos are probably doing it because they want their friends on here to see something they made or some such.
I can't imagine anyone would pay to promote something in the sense of advertising or growing a web-presence.

That said, I do dislike the social ladder here. I love this site because the community is generous and welcoming, but I'll never feel comfortable sifting a video and trying to get votes for it just to gain a 'level' in some such thing.
To this day I still can't downvote videos, promote, or create related links, and to me is more of a confirmation of why such a system is a bad way to reward participation, rather than a motivation to participate further. I went through the popularity-gauntlet enough in grade/high-school, so any system like this rubs me the wrong way.

Still, 99% of my video watching is through here! I might visit all other video sites collectively to make up for that last 1%, maybe. You can't argue with results!!

Is it not glaring, amazing, and ironic that so much of the vitriol choggie levies is unconsciously self-referential? Defining symptom of Multiple Profile Disorder.

Wow. This thread is turning into more fun than I expected. When life gives you a turd sandwich, make turdinade.

artician says...

So, a little birdie told me my comments resonated a bit. I just wanted to followup on that.

Above all; life hasn't given anyone turdinade in the context of this site. It's given us a really well maintained site with a well-meaning community, so don't take my criticism to be pooh-poohing what I visit every day and am really thankful for.

Secondly, my only real criticism was that the 'sift leaned heavily in the direction of the 'cool-kids club', in that you had to prove yourself to be acknowledged as a viable member.
There is nothing wrong with that in and of itself.
If I were to suggest *anything* be changed it's from a an entirely , selfish, subjective and personal perspective, and the only thing that has ever come to mind is this: If someone's been around for years, participates in some form regularly, and isn't a complete asshole, maybe they should get additional member benefits.
Otherwise it just seems the site could be more balanced for its own features and functions. I supposedly have 38 Power Points saved up, but I've no idea what I can do with them, and siftbot knocks my hand aside every time I try to do even the most seemingly innocent thing.

Also, this opinion has also been formed in complete ignorance of the rules or steps necessary to gain more privileges on the site. My initial negative feelings toward the gated privileges caused me to never care enough to look up what I might have to do in order to grow more.

At any rate this turns the whole topic into an Artician-pity-party (cause: 'wah! I don't sift videos and partake in the predetermined path to membership, and I'm butt-hurt I don't have more status/authority/control over the basic features of the website!") and ultimately, that's the only place my gripe was coming from.
I've known others to feel similarly in the past, though never spoken to anyone at length about it, and I can imagine that the rules as they are have turned away many people over the years who otherwise might have stuck around if they didn't have to fight an uphill battle to get rid of that horrid, red 'P' next to their names.

Now, I know I checked off the sarcasm button on that one.

I'm just messing with you my friend. And there's no kool-aid here. Just honest appreciation for something that's not complete shit in an oft completely shit world. I fuckin' hate kool-aid.

chingalera said:

On the fucking contrary...Pretty much the opposite of fthe kool-aid yer poundin'...

I don't do anything here without a reason dag, I think you know what the fuck it is this time-Like it has been in the past-Shutting bullshit down where it lives and is allowed to breed through denial or complicity.

This wouldn't be an issue if this site went through with being renamed Videograter.

I remembered it. And miss it.
I miss you @gratebot. What did you do with him, @siftbot?

Sagemind says...

How is it that @mygamesarefun could possibly have an opinion on how VideoSift is run, they have never even posted a video, or commented before....

Either, it's a hit and run comment, or a sock puppet is on the loose...

Make sure you play some appropriate music while reading this thread. Here, this will do the trick:

BoneRemake says...

Hey @ponyboy
Do you have anything else to spew here or can I ban the account and go to sleep knowing I did well ?? ?

chingalera says...

Oh! Oh! May I answer your query?!....It's called sychophantic voyeurism. Certain types of people, rather than attempting to keep their character flaws in-check would rather indulge and develop them.

Is that rabbit of yours fat enough for a stewpot yet??
Watch out. E-coli and bronchitis are the best friends of bunnies and close human contact.

Just saw people. I was gonna close this case. maybe leave it open. Don't know why though.

Invocations (kill) cannot be called by BoneRemake because BoneRemake is not privileged - sorry.

lucky760 says...

I don't follow your logic. There is no reason to ban this user. Getting on a soap box and shouting your disapproving opinion of this site is not a violation of any kind.

*slap

BoneRemake said:

Well if no one is going to say anything. Let it be done.

siftbot says...

lucky760 gave BoneRemake a slap on the wrist for a nonsensical ban and discard. This post will be undiscarded and its submitter will be unbanned. *slap invoked by member lucky760.

BoneRemake says...

Maybe you should find out the logic before slapping someone, maybe I should slap you ! har har har

" If you self link, regardless of your logic or explanation, you are violating the posting guidelines. There are no exceptions for any reason, whatsoever.

Finally, submitting a video that is considered spam falls within our definition of a self-link. If you create an account solely to post a video for whatever reason, but do not actually participate in VideoSift in any other way before or after, you may be considered a spammer/self-promoter and your account is subject to banning. "

I misunderstood the lower part of the paragraph, sorry me, oops.

- I'll add here that I understood it to say COMMENT not just VIDEO. I await this persons non self linked video. I am sure @mygamesarefun has every intention of participation here, so to my gamesarefun, I am sorry.

BoneRemake says...

as far as the discard I felt it had no value, but yea I guess not really my call to discard on it's own, although if you go look I tried a spammer invoke and it said no. TO those that do not know doing spammer invoke takes away all posts such as this, pretty well exactly what I did manually. The computer was not working so I had to go turn the switches with my hands.

SO maybe now you understand my logic in it's full context concerning the actions taken before hand good sir of siftalot.

BoneRemake says...

@chingalara

Your logic is flawed and your words stink of poisonous vomit !

lets keep this fight going ! <--- as in that is all this turned into is one big pissy man boy match Edit - not even that, just one person in particular who was side tracking and making personal attacks in comments again, see how you can enjoy the double standard like everyone else choggie ? You' re here still after your little freak out in the sift talk, or the stuff you wrote above or the other day, you can enjoy it like everyone else, but you sure like to flip the coin and berate it at the same time, although we all have learned you lack logic and reasoning skills. But that is just my opinion,
I guess this is what comments this post are for hey ? pretty well the reason I am writing this now. write what you want time.

So to answer your only sensible question fuckinglittlethingoverthere - as you described it the first time I asked you what it meant. Baxter the bunny weights in at 2.76 pounds.. and just jumped on my lap. I have learned this is not for pets though, this is for treats. so I do not try and pet him because he just swats lightly very very quickly at my finger tips and actually kinda growls a little, which makes me laugh.

He is fully grown and if I were to cook him like a psycho would cook their pet, as you suggested he would be like eating a quarter of a small frying chicken ( NOte to self *do not put palm plant fronds near top of chair - rabbit climbs chair and eats palm leaf* )

Also I do not think video sift is what that orignal poster said it is.

BoneRemake says...

*quality ! expressiveness without resorting to too much intense name calling or set back in mental development statements ? , see how that is done mr lara,

siftbot says...

Awarding mygamesarefun with one star point for this contribution to VideoSift - declared quality by BoneRemake.

chingalera says...

Simple observations based on available data-That rabbits' fat enough for a stew pot or breading...Rodents or livestock in the house are for food, shooin',or garments, projects for youngsters or research science...Y'know, shavin' prior to implants or what not??

"Baxter: The new, bold fragrance for red eyes."

I'm kiddin', kiss yer best friend on the nose,may he reward you with tiny pellets behind the furniture

My logic fallible and my reasoning skills cumbersome?? Read more.

You'd cook him if you had to and you know it.
I could make him taste better though...

mygamesarefun says...

Haha! I didn't realize this was gonna get so much notice. I just got back on and now I understand a little bit more on how the website works and I was already in a bad mood when I initially wrote this. The only thing I thought was hilarious was when that one guy was like "they own three/fourths of your assets". Well considering I'm broke as hell, go ahead and take my 75 cents. Anyways yeah my apologies I was pissed as hell when I wrote this but now it's all good in the hood. With that said I do think you guys need to be a little bit clearer and just a suggestion you could add a section for youtubers themselves to post their videos. @dag @lucky760
