Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

I don't watch a lot of YouTube so I'm not sure if they mention this;

I assume some people using compasses or labeling themselves with -isms do so with too dogmatic outcomes. Trying to find a tribe they can follow.

When actually our values are ever changing and unique in the moment. A political test/quiz/candidate finder might be useful to figure out what general approximations relate to one's values, but it's unconstructive to then toss own thought aside and pick one sect and say yeah I'm now this.

The problem isn't adopting a political ideology. The problem is that the political compass is bullshit. It doesn't reflect actual ideologies and its only purpose seems to legitimize "right libertarian" as an ideology, when its just incoherent nonsense pushed by billionaires

In that particular "test" yes. I might've been too general

Though I'd still be worried about those adopt based on a falsely guiding tool

Yeah, i agree that people using this is bad. The underlying problem though is political illiteracy. Thats why something as obviously bullshit as the political compass can be accepted by people.
