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 can't find a single result for the Leningrad official he claims to quote about how great the party is eating.
Does anyone know the name Nikolai Ribovsky? I have a gut feeling this guy is straight out of some hitlerite sebag montefiore type shit.

the only references i find to Nikolai Ribkovsky (u forgot the first k) and Leningrad are from Radio Free Europe
so you're close enough on that 'hitlerite sebag montefiore' thing
goddammit come on i though this youtuber was cool
Oh it was the video that misspelled the name in that case, the quote is at about 20:36 and writes it as Ribovsky.
yeah i see it
sad, my brother liked this guy, and i thought he would at least be cool
Not surprised it's RFE, but I initially understood it as a joke. It definitely reads like something Stalin would say in response to a ridiculous Nazi propaganda claim like "the party members are eating like kings while the workers starve!"
Overall I'm glad he kept it mostly balanced and avoided the blatant Nazi rhetoric taught in most American schools. Even explaining the tiered ration system in a way that made it clear it was a logical decision instead of some evil communist declaration.
But damn dude, using that RFE quote after saying "even the US president abided by rations" is a bit stupid.
