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 isn't concrete evidence but I feel like a lot of craft breweries made one or two good beers as a homebrewer and somehow knew people or had established money to start up a craft brewery. Since I do like checking out craft breweries and most have literally 1-2 good beers and the rest mid to poor (the bigger the draft list generally more likely all are poor). A lot of these breweries get bailed out by good locations or recently providing spaces to let the adults booze + "Watch the kids".
I like to homebrew and so I'm aware of the process and have some idea of the costs since there was a moment I thought about it before I realized how much money I'd have to find (not happening) and how much I dreaded the business side of it. It's much more fun to just give people beer and see them enjoy it.
I worked in brewing, briefly, and among brewers this is a general rule. In particular a big tap list means they've been having that beer sitting in kegs for way too fucking long, since unless you have a big operation there's no way you can keep making that large a variety fresh every three months. Unlike other alcohols beer has a shelf life and is actually best to drink fairly close to when it's done.
Good to know I had a feeling this had to be the case. It's always the first thing I notice, since it's so obvious.
