In looking a the comments on the YouTube page for this video, I see a comment by a DanielAdoff that is thanking a commentor for a complement. I would assume that DanielAdoff (YouTube screen name) = Dadoff (VideoSift screen name)

DanielAdoff has no videos on his YouTube page:

The channel this video comes from has the following description of its ensemble comic group:

"Set in San Luis Obispo, California, a group of friends met in high school and instantly hit their comedic puberty with their satiric, yet profound movies dealing with such teenage problems as betrayal, murder, justice, time machines, the women who boldly love them, and the demons that dwell within their very own souls. Get ready to laugh...maybe."

I'll let the rest of you continue the sleuthing. It's late . . . %)

good observation, dotdude. The "thank you" pretty much makes it clear that this is a self link IMO. *ban

The recently uploaded/little votes indication is a good start but not necessarily a reason to ban by itself.

Just saying this because I have myself queued videos that had 16 votes at the time of posting.

I guess instincs were right in this case though. Did anyone leave him a message to see what he sais?

Hey, me and my friend were the one that made this video. Daniel I assume is an acquaintance of the friend I made it with, and we, being proud of our work, showed it to some of our friends. I figure Daniel was among them. We did not ask Daniel to upload it onto videosift, nor did he have ANYTHING to do with it's production. I go to school with the owner of the "improvtopia" account, and don't actually live in San Luis Obispo, so I don't know what to tell you. It's not self-promotion, he didn't make it. Sorry about the confusion, hope that clears things up.

In light of the above ^ and an email from Daniel - I'm unbanning.
