About
- 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.

If we had even a little hope that any of these world changing ideas had any chance at being implemented in our lifetime, then there may be some more upvotes. Until then, they're depressing somehow.

Really? I find her so inspiring. She's a visionary, for sure.

Definitely, but every single one of these visionaries just fade away. I've seen so many world changing ideas in TED talks etc, and at the end of the day they're depressing because there's no hope in them actually changing anything in our lifetime or the next. Not so long as theirs profit in coal and debt and war and and and...

I just turned 43, it's really showing huh.

This was incredibly positive and inspiring.

I understand what you mean Enzoblue. These people have incredible ideas but its like the political videos on the sift, we all see the problems to where it seems like we all know and have common sense but it contridicts what actually happens in reality. When it comes down to it, no one will follow through with what they speak about which can be depressing
