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.

Yeah, like I said, not a defense or attack on this youtuber, he COULD be a shithead and I just don't know. But Communism101 has an overly utopic view of the USSR, where materialism takes a backseat to rhetoric. The USSR and China have both had massive missteps in the past century and it's undebatable, and many of them are worth discussing. The Four Pest campaign was objectively bad, but reasonable with context of the knowledge those people had. If it makes an AES sound bad, they won't allow it. The comment threads about the Four Pest Campaign are empty and only filled with actual communist propaganda. That's how I feel about this channel so far. He's not necessarily a communist, especially because he grew up in Ukraine later in the USSR's history. He has a perspective that's going to make him more negative, but it doesn't seem like he's trying to inject any ideology in his accounts.
It's crazy too because one of the best ways to bring libish people into the fold is to make actual valid critiques of AES & the USSR. It lets people see you're not a utopian shill who thinks that everything was just singing kumbaya in Soviet life. People won't dismiss the "quadrillion" dead bullshit until they have a satisfactory answer to "ok so what were/are the social problems within <INSERT_AES_COUNTRY>?”
