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.

Yeah, I still have the tendency to want to "ease people into it", but it doesn't really seem like that's actually effective. Then again I think I kinda suck at persuasion regardless of the way I try to approach political conversations. I just draw a blank when confronted with dumb lib takes and figure out what to say after the fact
I have a lot of success with easing people into things, but it really depends on the person. If they're already open, you can come at them directly, but if they're just starting to question why things suck, in my experience it's better to stoke the flame of their frustrations before presenting them with the solution.
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
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.
