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.

Despite the title, the video isn't actually about how cheap the country is and how cool that is for tourists. This YouTuber is best known for traveling all over China on a motorbike and showing what life is like for locals, highlighting the unique parts of their culture, etc. She talks with folks about the sanctions that cause their economic situation. Recommend this video and her entire channel.

This is a big vibe shift from her. I've watched more than a hundred of her videos and never seen her discuss politics in anywhere close to this detail. The most I've seen is "since the USSR fell relationships have been a bit strained" or something. For her to make two consecutive videos so explicitly making a political case to get audience shows how seriously she takes imperialism against Iran and indicates a lot about her other politics. I appreciate this very much.

Absolutely, it's very touching to see how dedicated she is to portraying the Iranian people how they actually are, and showing how much hardship the sanctions put them through. I actually teared up at the end. I'm glad (but not surprised) that she isn't a lib.
