I'm a little disappointed in VideoSift
After carefully examining the votes and voting pattern on my Top 5 video, I'm positive that the recent attacks on my video caused it undo harm. Were it not for the repeatedly juvenile channel reassignments, I'm confident that the video could have broken the Top 3, and most likely gone to #1. Clearly, the number of upvotes were severely reduced at the initiation of said attacks.
It has also come to my attention that several people purposely withheld their votes on my Top 5 video until the unfortunate turmoil happened regarding the video. Then they downvoted the highly newsworthy video. This is pretty clear evidence of a personal bias which has no place on Videosift.
Furthermore, multiple people pledged to never again upvote any of my videos. Now, as well all know, I have contributed some fine videos to the sift in my day, so these outlandish vows not only reflect poorly upon these users, but also malign the fair and balanced nature of Videosift, which is to vote upon content, not submitter.
I expect that you can all be adults, and not mess with the channel assignments on this post. Thank you.

gwiz665I don't care. You are untrustworthy. The next time you post something, you might just change the whole thing out to make all upvoters look like child murderers or something.
I vote no confidence.

RyjkyjCaptain, you've been here a while now. You should know that the sift is not an unbiased place. Videos get downvoted for all sorts of reason. Even the title of a video can affect the votes either way. I'm not saying that you're lying. I'm just saying that it happens either way. We all have to deal with it in some way or another.
Besides, you seem to think of yourself as some sort of sift revolutionary. Which means you have to be willing to deal with adversity.
This place is by no means perfect.
gwiz665^like real life, eh.
burdturglerThey weren't attacks. They were corrections to your continued abuse of the sift. Don't lecture people about being juvenile when you pull that douchebag move of changing title, channels, tags after people vote. And not for the first time. You wonder why people won't vote on your crap anymore after doing that?
CaptWillardHere is what I think of you, assrocket.

dystopianfuturetodayI'm thinking of trying this recipe for Thanksgiving. What do you think?
Roasted Japanese Sweet Potatoes with Scallion Butter
Serves8
* Active time:10 min
* Start to finish:1 1/4 hr
November 2007
If you’ve never had pale-fleshed Japanese sweet potatoes before, you’ll be surprised by their subtler, drier flesh, which tastes unmistakably of chestnut. A bit of miso mixed into the scallion butter stealthily rounds out the interplay of sweet and umami that will have you eating all the way through to the last flaky remnants of skin.
* 8 small slender Japanese or Garnet sweet potatoes (4 to 5 lb total)
* 1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, well softened
* 1 1/2 tablespoons miso paste (preferably white)
* 3 tablespoons finely chopped scallion
* Preheat oven to 450°F with rack in upper third.
* Prick potatoes all over with a fork and put on a foil-lined large baking sheet. Bake until very soft when squeezed, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
* While potatoes bake, stir together butter, miso, and scallion until combined.
* Slit hot potatoes lengthwise and, using oven mitts, push in sides to puff up potato. Serve with some scallion butter in center of each and with additional scallion butter on the side.
Cooks’ notes:
* Scallion butter can be made 4 days ahead and chilled, covered. Bring to warm room temperature and stir before using.
* Sweet potatoes can be roasted (but not cut) 4 hours ahead and kept at room temperature, covered with foil. Reheat potatoes on a baking sheet on middle rack of a 350°F oven until heated through, about 20 minutes.

campionidelmondoTo be honest you were the childish one when you reassigned that video to the Islam channel even though you know it has absolutely no connection to it. I'm pretty sure you live off (positive and negative) attention, so consider this me feeding you.
