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.

BT News continues to be great. I found an interesting assessment recently of why soldiers turn to anti-imperialism more readily than cops. Can't remember where it was but it said - cops get good benefits while working and upon retirement, they have a union, they get paid well and have healthcare... essentially they have everything taken care of, so there is no economic incentive for them to bite the hand that feeds them. While vets get next to nothing. I've always wondered why that is. Why doesn't the empire take as good care of its foreign enforcers as it does its domestic ones?

Every dollar of military budget that goes to veterans doesn't go to Lockheed et al

I suppose it's also because they get to see much bigger horrors in the name of profits, at least a cop isn't supposed to kill
