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.

How do you do it? I always get very granular when I know zooming out and asking more questions would probably be the correct approach, I just can't activate that part of my brain during conversation
It's a person-to-person, situational thing. Usually I don't say shit until they give me an opening. Like, if someone says something to indicate they're starting to catch on that every story they hear about the DPRK seems too silly to be real, I will jump in and give them some actual information about Korea, like why there even is a North and South Korea in the first place.
Yeah, I guess most of my openings are people who are still civility-brained to some degree and just privileged to be white and insulated from shit. Like how do I come back at "those guys killing Jews, like the embassy shooter, thats just harming the cause and is gonna Make people feel even more strongly about destroying Palestine". I feel like I get too caught up in the specifics of things like that where zooming out could probably be more effective I just don't know how to in the moment. Wish I took a debate class
Urbanism focused approach can work with liberals, ease in to talking about how capitalism makes things so isolating and all the community is sucked out of our environment.
Others I usually don't bother with too much.
