- Try clicking on the various channels to see videos posted to that channel - if you're into music you can click the Music channel to get more music sifts - go on and explore! Use the "hotness" when you have opened the channel link to get videos that have gotten a lot of votes, or use "newness" to have a look at the new sifts.
  When browsing sifts you like, have a look at the Related Posts list to see other related videos, click the tags under the video title to see more sifts tagged with the same tags or have a look at other sifts from the same user in the More Posts By list. If the sifted video is in a play list, have a look at the play list to see other interesting videos the Sift users have linked together.
  Enter the Sift Lounge to chat with online sifters about anything and everything, or read interesting posts in the Sift Talk forum.
  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Watch This Before Filing A False DMCA

YT: I own the intellectual property and copyright to this video.

This video is copyright free.

This video is the resolution to the conflict between myself and Venomfangx.

Venomfangx filed some baseless DMCAs against me.

Venomfangx made some nasty statements about me.

Venomfangx read a sincere (or close enough) apology, and gave me the intellectual property rights to it.

Thats pretty much it.

The moral?

DON'T FILE DMCAs UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

THEY ARE NOT A CONSEQUENCE FREE WAY OF INHIBITING FREE SPEECH.

This is the culmination of a long, sad, and somewhat disturbing series of exchanges where things went way too far. This video is the result of it. This one happened in a young earth debate but it could have happened anywhere given the fact that so many believe the internet is anonymous and you can do whatever you want to do. You can't.

The fuller story, and it's long and as I said somewhat disturbing, can be followed at the following playlist. Personally I felt sorry for the guy by the end of it, he deserved the kick in the ass but I'm glad it didn't go as far as prosecution and he was offered a way out by way of apology instead.

I have no idea what channels this belongs in, so you all have fun if I missed some. I probably did.
