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.

All of the comics in this video made my skin crawl and I wish I didn't know these demons existed. Good video, though.

Usually I'm not one for video essays but this one is quite tolerable. It's like a little Adam Curtis documentary but less boomer.

A lot of this is very much Marxist where capitalists engage with reality to build or secure their wealth, but then that transformation of labor into dead capital also shapes them. That's the mechanism for creating their simulacrums. Marx is clear about centering the transformation of reality onto productive forces, the workers. When wealthy people try to do the transformation, it's a perversion of objective activity. Thus when the transformation affects the user, it creates a false reality rather than a real one. Since the billionaires aren't the one actually doing the production, they can't understand the reality of what they're doing. They always have be in a false, or limited reality.

Lol I usually hate videos of such length and production value, I'm kinda a book/article guy myself, but this one is really catching me with its tone. Like 10 minutes in, but this description of evolution and "fuck this I gotta get outta here" as a universal tendency is pretty funny.

This guy's self-serious deadpan schtics cracks me up. The cheap callbacks, the selective editing lmao

Man is doing gods work. The saddest part of this video for me is seeing what happened to Duncan Trussel.

One of my favorite yt channels, there were also a couple videos that are now locked behind Patreon where a Neil Degrasse Tyson impersonator is starting a new show called Combos, where he drives around and rates different fast food combo meals.

Could have done without the cheap liberal DPRK slander. I guess he felt like the comparisons to Jonestown and Heaven's Gate were getting repetitive and needed to mix it up

just the smothering, ubiquitous blanket of imperialist propaganda doing its thing
