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 don't get what estabilishment we are supposed to defend here. Productivism in science where everyone's advancement and actual pay is contingent on cranking out as many papers as possible, inevitably leading to data fabrication scandals? That estabilishment?
Maybe it's different in the West but I haven't met a single researcher here who thinks the current state of affairs is a sacred cow. I'm sure many would be afraid of raising these red flags in an era where the United States is in the grips of anti-intellectual political thought. But these are two completely different things!
Yeah nobody objects this is bad if that was what she was actualy talking about!
The problem is this is not at all what she is doing.
You have to take into account what the anti-science chud crowd actualy views the world and how they engage with the content. They see "science is failling" and they go on to exactly extrapolate to e.g woke is bad see even science lady agrees!
If she actualy wanted to criticize the science paper factory she should clearly label and make sure this is what she is talking about.
Instead almost all her "science bad" videos are a combination of horrible Dunning Kruger shit by someone speaking completely out of her field, making hilarious mistakes and then extrapolating to all science sucks because I don't think particle physics has advanced in 50 years ~~ignore actual progress made~~.
As a result rather than criticizing the relation between capitalism and scientific progress she just panders to chuds who validate her anecdotal life experience. The difference in viewers she gets between science "enthusiast" viewers and chuds proves she is pandering more and more.
