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.

Apparently that vid is shadow-banned on Youtube but is still getting quite a traction

MrBeast rigs contests and gives 'random' prizes to friends and employees. But most importantly, does illegal sweepstakes by baiting children into what is essentially online gambling. Also sells shitty unhealthy food to those children (links back to the gambling by putting 'chance at a prize' codes in the chocolate)

I saw the length of this and wasn't going to watch but I'm compelled by the presentation style lol. I know basically nothing about Beast but just seeing his youtube thumbnails I'm not surprised

As much as I dislike Mr. Beast, I kinda feel like the recent stuff is a coordinated attack that happened because he had (previously) publicly defended his trans best friend. Maybe it's just me being paranoid or something.

That might just be a coincidence, the timeline is hard to match. Making 1 hr vid just days after the Ava Kris allegations seems like a stretch.

If I’m not mistaken, the original Mr. Beast takedown video was right before the Ava Tyson allegations.
