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.

Personally I found the connection between Doom/video games and Margaret Thatcher /neoliberalism to be pretty weak. Individually, both points were great and very well stated. And the end conclusion was also pretty cool - unions failed to prevent neoliberalism so they may not be enough to defeat it today either but that doesn’t mean they aren’t a step towards rebuilding the kinds of communities that can.

Edit - also, if you want to draw in “apolitical gamers” they maybe that section talking about how the annoyances and problems people have with modern gaming come from capitalism should be presented before the political talk about neoliberalism.
