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 Taliban and China have reasonably good working relationships for things like infrastructure planning. The problem is that often when deals have been in the works ISIS-K suddenly pop up and do terror attacks. Same with Chinese investment in Pakistan too before the coup.
do you have any examples off the top of your head? that's something I'd like to look into
The first one that comes to mind is the Kabul hotel attack in 2022.
There was a pretty serious uptick in attacks on China-related targets like power projects in Pakistan too before the coup.
But ISIS released a video statement officially making China a target and promising the ramped up attacks back in 2017, and there was already crossover with ETIM (East Turkestan Islamic Movement - the name China gives a broader network of terror groups in the region, often focusing on China and Xinjiang) and TIP (Turkestan Islamic Party) the 'political' face of the groups who are designated a terrorist group by everyone except America, allegedly because it makes it easier for them to use TIP to funnel money and wrapons to the overlapping ISIS-K groups.
