This really reeks of astro-turfing, as does this clip from the same source and user. The two clips come from the same exact place and are so inane I can't imagine why anyone would want to sift them other then to astroturf.

The user superganja23 has been inactive for 154 days. Suddenly he shows up with these two videos. Obviously it would have been only a matter of time before people realized not to make accounts with the same names on VS and YouTube, when astroturfing.

Whether these are astroturfing or not, it's still crap (smells very much sponsored to me with that tag and content).

did anyone try to log in with "superganja23" and password "videosift" or "superganja23"

Most accounts are probably easily hacked.

Is Thursday like Astroturf day?

Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit C

What does Astroturf mean.

“Astro Turfing” was first coined by Lloyd Bentsen to describe fake grassroots campaigns to sway public opinion. LonelyGirl15 was one example, a production selling itself as a vlog, The Wall Street Journal has fingered the PR company DCI for posting a parody of Al Gore to take the sting out of An Inconvenient Truth and others... like the one above...

I prefer "Spamvertising" in this case. Astro-turfing by definition involves fake "grass-roots" support for something. Like Nike putting viral "homemade" youtube videos out.

Such as this one, for example?

Seeing as everyone seems in agreement with my initial evaluation.
