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.

Reputable existing high quality bike brand (they made bikes before ebikes were even a thing) standard non-e-bike then add to that a reputable brand conversion kit and either do the work yourself or pay a shop to do so. Use the top name brand components (like Shimano for the motor for example). Problem is with the bike itself unless you're buying a used bike and get a good deal you're probably looking at $3000-$4000 or more for this set-up.
Upside is because it's entirely off the shelf components there's nothing proprietary and you should be able to repair it indefinitely short of major damage to the bike frame. Downside is it's costly and involved. Also because it doesn't come in a preassembled package you need to either find a bike shop you trust to recommend components or do a lot of individual research per part.
Aside from that I guess Aventon is supposedly pretty cheap and okay. Other decent brands are going to be closer to the custom built bike in terms of costs.
