Yes it's 
propaganda and it is a heck a lot better than a multi billion arms sale presser that 
puts out in it's media.

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.

Is it propaganda if it's true? China has been setting new fusion records every other year for the last decade with their EAST reactor
The best propaganda is the truth.
This is one common definition of propaganda from the Cambridge dictionary. The negative connotation is not necessarily part of the word.
Strictly speaking, even ad campaigns like "brush your teeth" are a form of propaganda.
I think the original meaning is a bit archaic now, even if it lives on in some forms like agitprop
Probably out of line with the commonly understood meaning of the word, yeah.
But that just means it's very effective to pull as a gotcha on a smuglord lib.
'propaganda' doesn't have to be false, it means something that has a viewpoint to promote. (digression: the words "publicity" and "propaganda" map to the same phrase in Chinese. the capitalist west uses "propaganda" to mean publicity that doesn't favor its narrative.) once you realize that liberals' beloved "objectivity" is a myth and everyone is biased by their material conditions, the supposed negative connotation is minimized

Just because something's true doesn't mean it's not propaganda.
We spread communist propaganda all the time here. It's praxis.
I had a db0 troll last China tech post whining about it being straight up Chinese propaganda and "a bit much". So it is to pre-empt that.
The entire article linked is exactly a one sentence long. The video has one more sentence. Absolutely nothing specific about what the breakthrough is. Not even a link to more info. This is just lazy.
