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.

However true, calling people dumbfucks and telling them to do something they don't want to do is not effective.
Not everyone needs to be a thought leader of the vanguard. Instill basic principles, encourage further exploration, provide resources. Some people will get curious/interested enough to read theory.
Exactly, we need a pipeline, an infrastructure, an ecosystem, that gets our basic ideas out to essentially the whole population, and then draws people in to engage more deeply, one tiny step at a time, until a few become a cadre of real theory nerds, and then actual thought-leaders and contemporary theorists. (And note that the theory nerds and theorists are not necessarily "the vanguard" but can/do overlap.) It's up to us to find the best way to reach different audiences who are at different levels. And as a movement we're not nearly good enough at this but we are gradually improving. I think the original video is basically correct, but arguing against a bit of a strawman, we've mostly moved beyond that point at least.
