My experience is that if it is a relatively new video that is being duped, the title helps.

If the original vid is older, though, the tags are the only help.

Then again, sometimes Sifty is "sick" and fails utterly for short periods of time.

It makes for boring tags but it does help Dupe Disappointment. Or more accurately, your Dupe Disappointment is experienced privately instead of publicly....

Ah, thanks for the pointer. I'd been operating under the assumption that the Sift looked at titles too, so I never bothered tagging anything in the titles. Next time! ;

Unfortunately, if your tags don't include important data, ole siftie can't find dupes.

Good vid though. Made Top 15!

Hmm. It said I couldn't; maybe I am not at the right star level for that?
