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.

Death to clickbait.

Especially in video form where you can't easily skim.

The internet is not a good experience no more.

The worst is when they do it with critical safety info

CDC: One Neat Trick to Not Die; Funeral Directors Hate Him

it's incredible how purchased ads trying to aesthetically appear like headlines have had such a dramatic impact on the crafting of editorial headlines.

it's almost like the NEWS under capitalism was always going to suck as the distinction between its press and advertising/marketing are functionally the same.

I know it's reddit, so who really cares, but I get a good chuckle seeing the "promoted posts" (ads) that are something like

TIL that geico has supreme insurance and I could be saving hundreds of dollars a year

but with all the comments turned off to prevent any sort of natural engagement.

It's interesting how advertising co-opts any culture around it

Should go to actual jail for this kind.

The US will no longer be able to dump cheap agricultural goods on developing countries thus undermining their food security and making them reliant on the exports of empire.

Will take a lot more than a crop to end world hunger

It'll be a good start. The most important thing though will definitely be overthrowing the evil empire which disincentivizes and works to prevent agricultural self-sufficiency across the global south (Prof. Michael Hudson has a great talk on this and more), which uses illegal sanctions and destabilization (like in Syria where they openly state the prime agricultural and oil-producing regions are specifically targeted for occupation) to manufacture famines, and which threatens the shipping lanes of the entire globe.

Its too bad topsoil degradation is accelarating. Something like this could have bought some time.

Doubling the yield is super pog especially with the coming climate crisis.
