  - 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?

  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.

Interesting stuff until the last line where I think he's mixing up cause and effect. He says that "not playing by the rules is advantageous once you get out of a closed system like education" using high earners as evidence. Instead he should be looking at people who exhibit those trails and seeing how successful they are relative to the high GPA crowd.
