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.

Paper tigers. All noise and bluster.
Huh. If I were in the border patrol I'd be questioning the capability of my equipment and worrying about my safety.
How do i download tankie.tube videos? I press download but it 504s... I want to share some of the things from red wizard archives (mostly ICE shit) with family members, but if they see its hosted on a site called "tankie" they will dismiss it out of hand.

Have you tried? I understand the trepidation, but it may be misplaced. I've found that most people are clueless or don't care.
people under 30 and over 50 don't read URLs
Lol good point.
I've thought about creating a separate instance called Tube Save America (or something) just for the purpose of sharing federated TankieTube videos with liberals under a different URL, but that's a lot of work just for a pretense.

tech literacy peaked idk. shit's frustrating. boomers refused to learn for decades and kids who grew up on smartphone and ipad had their technology education stolen from them by ui design that coddled lazy old folks.
It's no slight to the zoomers either. Growing up as computers became more prevalent, I always assumed that the generation behind me would be hyper-competent in terms of programming, software dev, etc since they were going to be surrounded by the tech from birth. I didn't foresee functionality becoming SO abstracted that you don't have to have much system knowledge at all, even getting all the way through a CS degree.
yeah it's accessibility but the access was to your wallet and your data, not empowering users to understand and use computers. by trivializing everything they infantilize everyone.
I can get through to my folks with some analogizing because they actually used card catalogs and physical filing systems a million years ago, but the kids who have never seen a floppy disk don't have any of that to build on.
Yes, they have called me a tankie before unfortunately. The family in question is 20s-30s age range. The older ones are zionists and too far gone to engage with, or antizionists and very very quiet about it.

In response to being shared a tankie.tube video?
No in response to me talking about stalin and the development of industrial capacity which turned out to be pretty crucial to fighting nazis.
On mobile I just pressed the download button
You're talking about the download button from the ellipsis menu? Try changing your exit node if you're using a VPN.
Oh thank you! I do use a vpn always so ill try changing my node.
I'm a bit frustrated that they named it that, it's but a good bie, not a good name. It's a real shame cause I know video hosting can be expensive to manage.
I originally created it as a personal instance, and I can't resist alliteration. 
Remember that even neutral names like "Hexbear" will develop a reputation.
