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.

This is unfortunately pretty true still. Funny thing is that brewers don't like that either, but owners demand trendy beer (where brewer-owners land on that spectrum is naturally on the trendy side though).
My experience in the home brew community (and lurking pro brewer communities) was typically people meming on the trends of the day: lots of pics of "buying ingredients" from the gas station candy aisle, complaining about the latest IPA fad, and bemoaning that they weren't brewing a personal or local favorite (lots of German styles, which are great, but there's a whole ass-world out there of beer y'all). Heck, from what I understand, homebrewing popped off in the 90s in response to terrible American macro beer options. It was pretty common back then to hack together your own equipment for brewing (probably mostly for mashing, apparently home sized equipment wasn't really sold in the states then) to make a cool style (like a dunkel lol, we really had 0 beer options back then) they had never seen before.
It would be really cool to see more experimental or regional styles brewed again, but, obviously, the petty bourgeois owners want to make bank instead. We really need more coop breweries! Funnily enough, my SIL has mentioned to me that she wants to open a brewery with me. Every time I say "only if it's a coop," then the conversation ends. Wonder why that is?
