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.

Maybe I'm too cynical, but that's what I got from it. The video way overstates the ease of DIY viral research and understates how tightly regulated it already is.

I agree with what you say. But I finally have an excuse to break out the cool image that is a representation of COVID RNA:

That's it. That's the whole thing. ~30 kilobases. That image, put together as an RNA sequence, made for a world plague. I don't know about anyone else but it scares me how a 200 x 200 pixel image could contain enough information to do that.

What it really calls for is serious investment into healthcare and antiviral research. But that isn't military spending.
