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.

people need to stop making fucking video news like I have the time to sit around watching 24 minutes of this when they could probably sum it up in a few paragraphs and be done with it

Entitled and useless complaint, I`m sorry but demanding content creators change their entire format to suit your personal preferences? Are we so devolved that 25 minutes is too much?

Either you care about a topic or you don't. You can't summarize Israel-Palestine in 5 minutes, you can't summarize Ukraine in 5 minutes. Why do you think it can be done here?

In any case like just google it then and you`ll find the social media slop you want. Her style is fine, you can watch 12 minutes twice if you care and if you don't then its not like she is the only source.

Why would she need to hurry up so much and "be done with it", so she can move on to another 5 minute slop? So much wrong here.

25 min video could be a 5 min article, that's the issue.

The issue is they're not a writer, they're a YT channel, if you prefer an article why even click a YT link in the first place? As I said, a huge mountain of entitlement here.

Someone takes a lot of effort to research and edit a video and if you don't care for the format that is fine. But saying "the issue is its a 25 minute video" implies the solution is everything should be a tiktok video. Brainrot entitlement shit.

If you haven't noticed Luna is pretty much an OG global south channel that exists longer than hexbear. Someone could have said "good but I don't like essays" and leave it at that.

not really entitlement i just think articles are generally superior for deep dive news.
