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.

Cort moved from Korea to Indonesia and as far as I can tell they've been killin' it there. They OEM for a lot of brands, including notably PRS. The stuff they make under their own label is also very good.
Chinese instruments are also not the crap shoot that they used to be. I have a Chinese-made Tagima strat that is one of my favorite guitars I've ever had my hands on, and I recently picked up a no-name plywood acoustic for like $100 (in a store!) that plays great and sounds better than it has a right to. 20 years ago, if you were buying a Chinese Squier you had to try every single one in the store to find the good one, and that just isn't true anymore.
We're in a golden age of inexpensive instruments.
