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.

He's really well-spoken on his feet. I hope he's going into some kind of organising.

I’d vote for that guy.

Honestly, good on that local news director and crew for not interrupting or cutting off that guy’s account.

At some point you get so used to the local news just sharing coverage of riot police lines with the sounds of drum beats and incoherent bullhorn noise—sometimes with a short clip of the local police chief and/or campus administrator, but rarely any kind of coherent synopsis of the protestors’ position by a level-headed and reasoned individual.

If anything, those news crews more often run footage of an exasperated, emotionally hijacked protestor who comes across to a passive news audience as “easy to dismiss”, particularly when juxtaposed against the footage of stoic police lines and prepared statements by administrators and officials.

When you see a protestor’s account, like from this guy, I think the passive news audience may actually have enough balanced information to form a thought or opinion beyond “police good, noisy kids bad”.
