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.

There's actually an entire field of chemistry dedicated to finding renewable alternatives to petroleum as a manufacturing feedstock for common chemicals. It's not easy but very necessary.
Neat! What's it called?
This page has more information about some of the approaches: https://www.science.org/content/article/can-world-make-chemicals-it-needs-without-oil
Plant based chemistry is also one of the avenues being seriously explored: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2452223621000067
Awesome, thanks for the links!
