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 first half is setting the stage, by giving examples of various YouTubers who have engaged in plagiarism.
The second half is Hbomb exposing a prominent queer YouTuber, James Somerton, for plagiarizing so fucking much, it makes the stuff in the first half feel quaint (Somerton has deleted his Twitter, and turned off comments on all of his videos, since this hbomb video dropped lmao).
Then, near the end, hbomb talks about how he'll donate the video's revenue to all the people Somerton plagiarized, and then shouts out various queer creators doing similar stuff, in a way that's actually original. So I'd encourage people to watch for that stuff, at least. But that's the gist.
Thanks for the summary! Looks like this more is about drama between youtubers than what I initially thought would be about academic plagiarism.
Yeah, it's just youtuber drama but given that there's actual money at stake it's good that he's calling out plagiarists in a well researched way.
