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.

So I've been watching a YouTube channel called Little Chinese Everywhere. It's a Chinese woman who travels to all different regions of the country. Her videos on minority regions have been amazing, and demonstrate what socialist national liberation looks like in practice. In this video, she goes to a Tibetan city where, for four to six months of the year, the Tibetans leave the city and "play in the grasslands" - long extended summers spent entirely living in the traditional way, but without dependence on subsistence pastoralism. It ends up being a months-long social and cultural festival where all of their traditional lifeways thrive. Then, when the weather turns, they to back to the city and live a modern Chinese urban life (but still thoroughly Tibetan). Tons of her videos show this thriving of non-Han nations with autonomy over their land, lives, and development. It's genuinely moving stuff, and it seems like an excellent model for a socialist post-US and its native nations.

It's good to question and critically think about both what you've been taught and new things you come across. If you grew up in the West though, everything you've been taught about China is likely false or highly biased, yes
