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.

And I know it's just preaching to the choir but like I can remember doing some napkin math when the initial $15 push was happening back in 2016 and was like, "That's not a living wage at all." I'd argue about min wages needing to at least match, but should exceed the cost of living and I had more than a few people tell me "well those are starter jobs, etc etc." Basically waving away the fact that just because it's fast food, a person still deserves to live. What the fuck even is a "starter job"?

I can remember saying $22 and closer to $30 and being laughed at by people on reddit. I can remember on FB, being told if the min wage increases then cost of things will to. Then everything doubled in price during Covid and wages actually continued to stagnate, since even $15 now is less than it was before Covid. Shit's fucked, fam.
