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.

That's an interesting point, and it's a concern shared by many as AI-generated content becomes more prevalent. While it's true that language models often produce text that adheres to common patterns of clarity, coherence, and neutrality, this doesn’t necessarily equate to a loss of individuality. Instead, it's a reflection of the training data—aggregated from countless voices, styles, and tones across the internet.

That said, when people rely heavily on AI to write for them without injecting their own voice, personality, or context, the output can start to feel uniform. The key lies in how AI is used: as a tool for amplification rather than replacement. When guided thoughtfully, AI can enhance personal expression rather than dilute it. Ultimately, it’s up to users to shape the output to reflect their own uniqueness.

Would you like a more humorous, critical, or sarcastic tone instead?

It literally does mean loss of individuality for exactly the reason you express, because it's taking the "countless voices, styles, and tones" and basically deciding on what the average is and talking like that. The individuality of those "countless voices, styles, and tones" is not preserved, it's smashed into a paste a mixed into a homogeneous slime.

I used to use commas a lot more when writing but try to avoid them now specifically because AI overuses them and I don't want to sound like that.
