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.

Entitled and useless complaint, I`m sorry but demanding content creators change their entire format to suit your personal preferences? Are we so devolved that 25 minutes is too much?
Either you care about a topic or you don't. You can't summarize Israel-Palestine in 5 minutes, you can't summarize Ukraine in 5 minutes. Why do you think it can be done here?
In any case like just google it then and you`ll find the social media slop you want. Her style is fine, you can watch 12 minutes twice if you care and if you don't then its not like she is the only source.
Why would she need to hurry up so much and "be done with it", so she can move on to another 5 minute slop? So much wrong here.
As a non-native English speaker I much prefer reading than trying to decipher what is being said.
That is perfectly fine, yes its tough sometimes e.g the ukraine war chuds on YT I used to watch included Russians and non-native English speakers too. If the channel was a native English speaker would that solve the issue for you? This got nothing to do with the format-length complaint here.
Are there not subtitles for you?
They are usually autogenerated, which means their quality varies wildly, and it is overall much harder to read and comprehend than a written article.
25 min video could be a 5 min article, that's the issue.
The issue is they're not a writer, they're a YT channel, if you prefer an article why even click a YT link in the first place? As I said, a huge mountain of entitlement here.
Someone takes a lot of effort to research and edit a video and if you don't care for the format that is fine. But saying "the issue is its a 25 minute video" implies the solution is everything should be a tiktok video. Brainrot entitlement shit.
If you haven't noticed Luna is pretty much an OG global south channel that exists longer than hexbear. Someone could have said "good but I don't like essays" and leave it at that.
not really entitlement i just think articles are generally superior for deep dive news.
cool story
Ratio
I up-beard not because I have a strong opinion, but because I've not yet seen a ratio request in such a low-stakes comment section and want to see how large this will get
I have since changed my opinion to liking this ratio more. I also prefer reading to videos for this sort of thing but I am able to accept when I'm not the target group/its just not my thing. Leroy seems unable or unwilling and deserves the ratio
I just blocked them and moved on. Why argue, nobody is changing their mind because of an online slap fight
Gotta first upvote the ratio, then leave the slap fight before anyone notices
