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.

They made one popular review about The Phantom Menace and, suddenly, everyone defends them to high heaven. They haven't made a good review since. And their main claim to fame is a sexist and racist review. Oh yeah, and inspiring MauLer to make his overly-long reviews who, in turn, inspired other right-wing Star Wars YouTubers to come out of the woodworks.

And the actual movie they made was horrid. I'd rather watch The Phantom Menace over the movie they directed.

I remember how they said Rogue One "had no humor" (right as they showed a scene with K-2SO in a comedic scene). "AT-AT! AT-AT!" Did you watch the same movie?

And they gave The Force Awakens a good review? What?

But their fans are like "Have you seeen their 2009 review of TPM?"

Yes? It doesn't hold up. This is YouTube in 2024. People have done it better now.

they soured on it over time. TFA seems good if you've steeled yourself for the prequels again but obviously it doesn't survive critical thinking or a view of the whole trilogy.

Many people knew it was bad at the time. Some judgment they have.

TFA was made to tailor to people like them who wanted to feel like star wars was "back" for them. The folks who never forgave the franchise for appealing to a younger audience. I like a lot in TFA, but its approach is certainly one for all the people who didn't learn the lesson Kevin Smith did.

Precisely. Yeah.
