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.

Usually I'm not one for video essays but this one is quite tolerable. It's like a little Adam Curtis documentary but less boomer.
A lot of this is very much Marxist where capitalists engage with reality to build or secure their wealth, but then that transformation of labor into dead capital also shapes them. That's the mechanism for creating their simulacrums. Marx is clear about centering the transformation of reality onto productive forces, the workers. When wealthy people try to do the transformation, it's a perversion of objective activity. Thus when the transformation affects the user, it creates a false reality rather than a real one. Since the billionaires aren't the one actually doing the production, they can't understand the reality of what they're doing. They always have be in a false, or limited reality.
