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 think most pre-2023 models don't include it outside of super premium models, but now that's becoming pretty standard in anti-theft suites because they're priority targets. For me the privacy concerns are a worthwhile tradeoff for the other modern features. My 2025 Abound auto-locks the kickstand and rear wheel, is password protected, has a motion alarm that notifies me on my phone, and I can geofence it or lock the motor remotely. Those features are really uncommon in older bikes. At the same time you're also getting an older and smaller battery that you can't replace as easily, maybe a cadence sensor that feels a lot worse than a torque sensor, and limited app support for things like real-time monitoring of the electronics.
On my 2023 Bianchi's Bosch app, I can disable the GPS tracking by disabling location permissions on my phone. Presumably other bikes with Bosch systems have that same software option, but my Aventon's GPS tracker is built into the bike's motherboard.
