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'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?
I think the barrage of ads and the promise of “free money” lures people into thinking they don’t have much risk
"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 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.
