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.

I’m dumb, can someone ELI5 why they aren’t just selling the beans here?
China has a pop of 1.4 billion, US has 340 million* (about a 4 - 1 ratio), and China consumes more soy per capita as well, to a factor of about 100.
The US is the world's largest soy producer. So we have a fuckton of soy we can't sell, and a surplus so large we can't eat it, or if we can, it would require a huge cultural change on a food we vilify here.
Corrected
Isnt most soy going to cattle or some shit anyway?
They do sell the beans here but i believe China made up more than half of the demand for the soybeans US farmers produced in the past so pulling that out has a pretty big effect on our economy
