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.

Death to clickbait.

Especially in video form where you can't easily skim.

The internet is not a good experience no more.

The worst is when they do it with critical safety info

it's incredible how purchased ads trying to aesthetically appear like headlines have had such a dramatic impact on the crafting of editorial headlines.

it's almost like the NEWS under capitalism was always going to suck as the distinction between its press and advertising/marketing are functionally the same.

I know it's reddit, so who really cares, but I get a good chuckle seeing the "promoted posts" (ads) that are something like

TIL that geico has supreme insurance and I could be saving hundreds of dollars a year

but with all the comments turned off to prevent any sort of natural engagement.

It's interesting how advertising co-opts any culture around it

Should go to actual jail for this kind.
