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.

I made the mistake of reading the comments over in r/videos. ๐Ÿคฎ

I did too but noped out pretty quickly. It's shitty because it does seem like there's genuinely good people over there, but conversations there tend to get derailed and so wrapped up in liberal talking points, you can see the brain rot forming in real time.

I'm feeling a kind of way about it right now. I used to spend a lot of time on Reddit, and I'd usually form an opinion on something by reading a lot of the comments and trying to synthesize my own opinion by creating an amalgamation of it all. I feel like this must have worked to some degree because I actually started my radicalization over there. I'm not sure if Reddit became worse over time, but now I can barely stand it there. Maybe I've just gotten better at parsing bullshit and realized just how much of it there actually is, idk.

But I guess I feel two ways about it because if I got radicalized over there, then perhaps others can too. I personally don't have the patience to wade through the bullshit anymore, but I also kinda hope people keep fighting the good fight over there.

I feel ya. I'm honestly not sure how organic any of it is anymore is the issue and I just wouldn't want to spend time trying to radicalize bots. It's why we need a LeninGPT.
