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.
Look, I'm not smart at all, but I'm pretty sure we're seeing the beginning of this bubble bursting. No one is making any money on this stuff and the costs keep on going up.
Copilot has recently started charging people for previously free use, from what I understand (again, my understanding LLMs and how their sold is limited)
But yeah that signals to me that they're starting to get desperate to make money. Except no one wants to pay for this stuff.
