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 mean, I don't disagree that it's awesome and that waste isn't the real problem, but...

Productive enough to outcompete cheap exports from the imperial core.

The cheap exports are a result of international finance fucking over the labor in the producing countries who are locked into their shitty loans by corrupt puppets of Western imperialism. Those cheap exports are just the international trade equivalent of Loss Leaders. Making a cheaper competitor isn't going to stop the coups or the NGOs or the right wing death squads. The prohibitive problem isn't the cost, it's the barrel of the gun pointed at the third world holding them hostage to the system. If anything, I'd say this is more likely to help those states who are already exiled from the western community like DPRK, Cuba, and Venezuela.
