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.

Just watched the first 15 minutes of this and kinda had an existential crisis with the realization that most of my childhood memories are corporate slop because I guess my parents used the tv as a babysitter like parents who use iPads now?

Damnit I hate how YouTube removed video responses, I have so much to say about this

I’ve been screaming this. “iPad kids” are not a new or unique phenomenon. The fundamental problem is emotionally unavailable parents who either lack the time or the emotional maturity to build a connection with their kids and help them regulate their nervous system.

That and it's not allowing for imaginative play and active thinking/interaction with the environment. Some electronic media can be good, but you want your kid to grow to be able to occupy themselves. I'm a big advocate for send them outside and they can play stick and hoop parenting.
