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.

Did you watch this specific video?

I think your criticisms are valid and accurate in general, but I have to say I don't think they work very well against this video.

I think it would have taken Johnny Harris two hour-long videos to cover all the information she did in 24 minutes, and of course his analysis would be CIA sewage

I personally can read faster than a video, but this format has some advantages like:

real human emotion to emphasize the important parts
more historical photos than I think would work in an article
getting to hear the local pronunciation for people and places
like it or not, it seems the majority of the human population prefers to get information over video. This one happens to be seasoned with class analysis throughout

So if we landed on: most news video essays are trash but this one is actually good, then I think we are in complete agreement
