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.

Every interview should start with taking a best friend shower together.

Done! Usually better about catching that

On Firefox, if you right-click the link in the address bar, there should be an option that says "Copy without site tracking", very useful for Youtube links

That's neat, Firefox stays winning

There's also the ClearURLs extension for Firefox that will clear them automatically for you for a bunch of sites like YouTube, Twitter, Google, and a bunch of others.

Was just about to post this. Weird sensation having a huge pit in my stomach with a smile on my face.

[–] MattsAlt@hexbear.net 29 points 4 months ago (2 children)

They have a great ability to report on some pretty fucked up stuff in a way that is still somehow fun without detracting from the seriousness

Haven't ventured into the second most recent video though because I don't know if there's a way for me to even slightly enjoy knowing more about how anti-homeless people freaks think

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 25 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It is kind of a rough watch. The guy they watch rides along with some tpusa guy.

[–] GenderIsOpSec@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

it was fucking awful, i skipped all the fascist speaking parts, but it was still real rough

[–] thisismyrealname@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago

their second most recent video covers Tyler Oliviera, the guy who "investigates" cities by harrasing homeless people and drug users. it's truly some of the most vile behavior i've seen from a YouTuber

[–] red_stapler@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago

My reaction was “oh no the cheese ball guy?”

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Aculem@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

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.

[–] robinnn@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

I can't do it anymore.
