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.

This doesn't disprove what I was saying. Which is in reference to the post where the person on camera said the BPP was Marxist Leninist. (In reference to a fight between MLs and Maoists.)
Mao was who they aligned with the most, even if there weren't "Maoists" at this time. I wasn't fooled by anyone I just thought it was odd they brought up them being MLs in this context.
The term "Maoist" doesn't just mean "fan of Mao" though. It's kind of a difficult label to discuss because many groups use it in very different ways, most infamously the "Maoists" of the Shining Path, otherwise referred to as Gonzalites. I really think the most accurate thing to call them, based on the timelines involved and explicit statements like what we saw above, was that they were primarily their own adaptation/interpretation of Marxism-Leninism who were big fans of the guy they saw as the greatest global pioneer of nonwhite Marxism-Leninism, Chairman Mao (and the Cleaver text especially supports the characterization, imo). We can't especially tie them to the Red Guards (despite common influence) or Gonzalites (thank God) or other "Maoist" movements.
I think the "Maoist" label is inaccurate, and again would repeat that Mao himself rejected such a term. It's an ideological muddying akin to saying the BPP was Juche because they also spoke very highly of Kim Il-Sung as a foundational figure in the development of nonwhite socialism (see Cleaver). I think the resident Dune fan's correction was fair enough and your "correction" of the OOP was not justified.
