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 honestly believe Millenials are the biggest suckers for nostalgia shit. It's a bit embarrassing.
Have you seen Boomers with their Disney and Beatles memorabilia? Or Forrest Gump? I think nostalgia suckers are spread across generations. And it's not like you're gonna see nostalgia marketing for Zoomers because 1) they're like 25; and 2) they don't have any money.
Is Gen X nostalgia even a thing compared with boomer and millennial nostalgia? We haven't exactly seen a Cheers reboot or a Happy Days revival.
Mostly Star Wars. The prequels were definitely pandering to them when they came out. A lot of music, too. Especially '80s music.
Wouldn't Stranger Things also qualify (I have not watched it, I'm afraid; just heard a lot of 80s nostalgia)?
We did get a Frasier reboot.
Frankly you sound a bit upset over something pretty silly.
Frankly it sounds like you're taking good faith criticism in bad faith because it disagreed with you. Show a little respect for our comrades, man.
Maybe clarify tone before accusing. Automatically assuming the worst intention behind a comment and reacting based on that makes online communities worse places.
I am upset there isn't enough beanis nostalgia slop in mainstream media.
nostalgia is on a cycle of each age group having money to milk
I wonder if part of it has to do with us being some of the first to really have things like home taping preserving the near-past in a more visual way. I also kind of think about the whole "promised a place in a society that ultimately ended up tearing itself apart rather than let us in" thing, too.
They're a lot worse than Gen X, who don't get pandered a whole lot in comparison. You could tell by how so many sitcoms that Gen X have watched haven't seen a reboot or a revival or a cinematic universe. The A-Team basically got a movie in 2010 and that was it.
Gen x is the real silent generation
Ehhh, Gen X alt and grunge culture is still a basic mainstay in mainstream bullshit. It's a different kind of nostalgia. Like there are a lot of genres, like reality TV, which are all just Gen X bullshit for the modern era.
They definitely seem more impassioned than other generations have with their reactions to nostalgia pandering.
