I'm surprised that the narrative is apparently that people are breaking even. Everyone I know views, say, casinos as 100% rigged, and the expectation is that the typical person loses consistently. Considering the business model this should be obvious?

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.

"The house always wins," is a well-known phrase for a reason. Mathematically, games in casinos are rigged in their favor. Games that are more favored towards the player have lower payouts. Blackjack, for example, is a solved game and therefore doesn't pay out as much as poker, which has no limits and the house takes a cut of the pool one way or another. Slots are another good example of a rigged game. The odds of a jackpot are so horrendously low, casinos can afford to give players free drinks and rooms for playing penny slots.
I think the barrage of ads and the promise of “free money” lures people into thinking they don’t have much risk
oh so it's like having a reddit account
I always wondered how people could lose at sports betting when all you have to do is find MMA and wager on a Russian Muslim every time. I guess they ban you for being too good.
Like the video says, it doesn't matter if you can mathematically prove that your guy will win 90% of the time if it's priced like they will win 91%
Because the good ones (everyone trained by Abdulmanap basically) are always heavy favorites. You will have to risk large sums to win a pittance and all it takes is one loss to wipe out all your previous winnings.
