This video was incredibly frustrating. He literally says:

Also, in developing these tests, Danaher received over $250 million of public funding, most of which came from tax payers like me and you. And I think it’s past time for Danaher’s prices to acknowledge that gene expert tests are public goods, largely funded by the public, and that it isn’t appropriate to use them to enrich the world’s richest people at the expense of the world’s poorest ones.

And then proceeds to talk about how various NGO’s have encouraged Danaher to “consider” lowering their prices to a $5 per test. John, you just made the argument for nationalizing pharmaceutical production. What the fuck are you talking about?

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.
