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.

The spike lee Katrina docs are amazing and eye opening. I think most people just assume that after a big natural disaster the government will have their backs. Couldn't be further from the truth. If you are lucky you will get a FEMA trailer to live in for the rest of your life. More likely than not you'll just be homeless
I did outreach to a rural community that faced a natural disaster, and of course FEMA was involved. Many of the people who owned homes had handshake agreements or the house was passed down for generations. If you didn't have copies of every piece of paperwork needed to confirm that it was your home, even though youre scrambling for your life, you were completely fucked. Renting? Totally fucked, they didn't care. Homeless in the community? "The local agencies will help with that". They had families with kids and pets living in emergency hotel rooms for a year, often more. Most people had to just figure it out.
I've unfortunately had a similar experience with the red cross. They'll pull out the stops to help homeowners but homeless/unhoused people you'll be lucky if you get a sleeping bag
I had no idea FEMA doesnt help renters that's fucking crazy
A lot of orphans from Katrina ended up being sent to other states and never returned. I'm a fuzzy on other groups' situations if families or married couples left the state and went back. I know there was a lot of destruction even a decade later that was never repaired.
