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.

The video honestly wouldn't be as good as an article because she has so many photos of the people involved on top of various maps. Too many images break the flow of an article because those images need captions at the bottom, so you have to read a paragraph and awkwardly read the caption of the image that accompanied the paragraph before moving on to the next paragraph. It's hardly noticeable when you only have a couple of images in a short article or blog post, but it becomes obvious when you have too many images.
The heavy use of images is justified for this case because her target audience are provincial Anglophones who can't even find Thailand or Cambodia on a map. The border dispute has to do with a temple that 99.999% of Anglophones didn't know existed let alone know how it looks like. She goes over various political players that 99.999% of Anglophones haven't heard of before let alone know how they look like.
