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.

The length isnt the problem, the problem is that its like 8 videos of the same concept repeated one after another without a framing device or throughline besides "and heres this other plagiarist!"
It wouldnt be better if its was just half the length cause then its just a shorter badly paced video, it either should just have been a series of videos about each individual plagiarist, since each segment is paced individually, or it should have been one video about the broad trends of plagiarism in youtube.
A good video essay never feels too long while a bad one can never be short enough.(adapted from quote about film I read once)
Im just some fuck on the internet but my main idea for how this could have been paced better is to center the whole thing around the specific ways that they plagiarize, then use examples for each of that.
Like both Illuminaughtii and Somerton do the bisexual lighting to avoid copyright detection thing, so instead of one segment about the former then one segment about the latter, have a segment about bisexual copyright dodging, point out where each do it, then go to the next method of plagiarism.
I think you are right that that could potentially be a much tighter method of organizing things. As it is, it's a borderline stream-of-consciousness script with research and reshuffling for dramatic effect.
I was going to say, Hbomb acknowledges that the Somerton section gets totally off-topic discussing his misogyny, which has nothing to do with the video's theoretical thesis. Why not just make a different video with the thesis "Fuck Somerton" and put both the Somerton plagiarism and misogyny and so on all in that video? Why not just make a video series?
