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.

The Economic Freedom Fighters a South African political party. Malema (the guy you see there) represented the left wing of the ANC (The African National Congress, the ruling party of South Africa since the end of apartheid.) and the youth wing back in the 2010s and was big on Jacob Zuma (To the point of covering for some of Zumas's sex crimes), but Zuma used Malema as a scapegoat and castigated him for his remarks about boers and economic policy to the point where Malema got pissed and left to start his own party which was supposed to carry on the legacy of the ANC as a revolutionary party.
They're officially a communist party and so that's cool.
Their official stance on the gaza genocide was "Send guns to hamas" and so that's also cool
They're at least nominally pro LGBTQ+ so that's also cool,
And they're anti colonialist and pan africanist, so that's also pretty cool.
But they also have a lot of really weird connections to shitty people and a lot of problems with misogyny and making excuses for some fucked up conduct. Also there's some South Africans (Including founding members of the party) who criticise them for focusing to much on their patronage network. I don't know about that last part, the people who say it seem to know more than me, but I don't know anything so that's not hard.
Edit: Also a lot of Zulu nativism, but I'm not really equipped to comment much on that, except that it's not great that they were still willing to ally with Zuma after he formed an explicitly right wing, Zulu nativist, anti immigrant political party (AND after the whole party was founded in part started because Zuma wasn't a trustworthy ally), and their rhetoric about Indian South Africans doesn't sound great as an outsider listening in.
Thank you for educating my dumb ass
