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.

Ebikes offer a ton of upside in range, rideability, and other conveniences for this who are interested in investing in them. Even with the price tag, they are a much easier sell to a layperson than an analog bike, and most people who would consider riding a bike already would by now.
It's that psychogeographical difference between the two that really sells ebikes for me. When the entire ride is pleasant and I only use as much effort as I want to, my commute becomes 15 minutes of learning about socioecology. I can take in everything around me and think about it without distraction. Now I measure that commute by the number of additional gardens and parks I route through with the time savings over normal biking. I can toss in an additional 5km of birdwatching or smelling particular flowers that I only found because my ebike encouraged me to explore side streets and bike more often.
Electric micromobility offers a genuinely new experience. Travel is entirely liberating now. It's not something I have to think about or plan around or be stressed by. It's just 15 minutes of meditating in nature and thinking about the landscape while doing something that feels like a roller coaster, stopping whenever I want for any neat thing I see without that costing time or effort. That kind of lifestyle is so much nicer than what I had when driving or on my regular bike.
