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.

Seriously, this is all he did for eight hours, no mention of Kirk's history or delving into reactions online,

How are you able to say this? Like, it was definitely a boring stream, so it makes sense that you would stop paying attention, but then why speak so confidently on its content? He absolutely did cover both of those things and spent hours on reactions online in particular, from Trump to Fox to Shapiro to CNN to fucking Asmongold (I think it was a reaction and not an old video in that case, but I'm not sure) but also went to old tweets from Kirk and the clip of him talking about the "grim necessity" of stochastic gun deaths that people are rightfully quoting from, and talking in general about how the whitewashing of Kirk by other media figures is disgusting.

I said ONLINE reactions, not the gibbering whitewashing nonsense of low viewer news corps and who cares what Asmongold thinks, that ghoul literally retired from streaming a couple days ago

but also went to old tweets from Kirk and the clip of him talking about the "grim necessity" of stochastic gun deaths that people are rightfully quoting from, and talking in general about how the whitewashing of Kirk by other media figures is disgusting.

Fair enough, I must've missed it, I skipped about 40 mins of the stream out of frustration

The Trump responses that I'm talking about are the AI-looking video that he posted online and there might have also been a tweet or something, Shapiro was online, Asmongold is literally the biggest political streamer, at least on Twitch (and I think he's on break, not really retired, but idk because I don't follow him), and Fox is much larger still, whether we like it or not. Plus a bunch of other online responses, even multiple officials from Israel (Bibi and others). Like, what are you looking for? I listed a few more in another comment and I think both times I forgot Owens was also there and . . . I mean, he covered a lot of people. He could have done more, you and I both agree that he wasted a tremendous amount of time, but this criticism seems silly. Like, how many online reactions does he need to cover? What's the minimum viewership? Do I need to go check the analytics on all of the legacy media who posted clips online to decide how relevant they are just because their audience is mainly older than us?

I think he did a reasonable job in this respect and it was really the dominant part of the stream that wasn't the (again we agree, over-long and pointless) talking in circles about news updates and shit.

I think I skipped basically the last 2 hours except the very end because I was morbidly curious about the Asmongold thing, which was basically the last 10 minutes. A lot of what I saw was from the bot clip channel, which posted like 90% of his stream today because traffic is traffic ig.

He spent the whole segment silently eating and yelling at chat over them noticing the AI

He's not, he lost half his "viewers" after the bot ban, which is partly why he's quitting, Hasan was guilty of presenting him as a bigger threat than he actually was, Hasan believed the views were real

It's wild how people come on here and just lie about Hasan the same way the destiny-sphere does. (Just "from the left" or something)

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 4 points 4 weeks ago

I can't tell if they were lying. Maybe they explained in on of their last replies but I just get tired of arguments and stop reading, which probably isn't the best response but it gives them the last word so they leave it there at least . . .

Anyway, I fully support attacking Hasan over being a demsoc, but I truly can't stand misinformation and I find it really frustrating when people engage in spreading falsehoods that they have literally no reason to believe, whether because they're lying or because of some other reason that I can't fathom. I also don't like the reactionary shit about being "soft," it just reeks of calling someone "unmanly" in so many words as another commenter said. idk, I don't like "defending" Hasan this much, but factual falsehoods and reactionary rhetoric are ways of attacking him that harm us much more than they harm demsoc-ism.
