There is only one reason we get video-sifted to death, and his name is Ant. :p So it seems pretty disingenuous to say that anyone is actually finding anything on videosift and they deserve to be supported "for the convenience". He posts youtube links TO videosift and then sends Blue the videosift link.

I don't really get the purpose of using videosift in the first place. Youtube already sorts and categorizes popular videos the same way that videosift does, except youtube doesn't drag up old videos from the grave and has a considerably larger audience voting on them.

It seems very hipsterish to me.

Although he's never said it, I think this is partly how Ant makes his living. And anything that I can do to help Ant, I will do. He's one of the good guys.




Me: Waiting for the inevitable parody, Battleporn. Drayth: Just don't Overwatch too much.
