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.

It reminds me of cripplepunk and more radical perspectives of addiction- There's this knee jerk desire to view it as a moral failing when it seems far more radical to me to see being "functional" (aka not needing any of these things, just rawdogging reality etc, being mentally stable or well kempt or productive or whatever) as an arbitrary ableist signifier. Aka the core philosophy of cripplepunk (not caring about being "functional" or a "good disabled"). But I might be overapplying that philosophy here and preventing my own growth. I genuinely don't know. It's so hard to tell the difference between ableism, social criticism, and genuine advice sometimes, because unfortunately even social philosophers are not immune to brainworms and also unfortunately I am not either and this could just be addiction defending
