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.

its great stuff. I wish I still had my old mp3/flac player (it was also a sansa but not the clip)
the chief advantage of apple products here though is the uniformity, there are 10 different models of mp3 player out there for every 100 used ipods that are exactly the same, so aftermarket parts are still a thing even 15+ years later. a sandisk or whatever is more of a crapshoot. but at least they're probably cheap to mess around with if you can find one for spare parts
There's also a lot of budget Chinese audio players that playback a bunch of formats. Some are crapshoots, but there's also stuff from Fiio, Hiby, and few other big brands that are a bit more polished.
my impression was that the decent ones were all running android crap though. I dont just want a smartphone without the modem lol
Hmm, yeah I kinda forgot that most were moving toward Android. There might still be a few budget models that are using Linux.
You can de-google and rehabilitate the battery life on some like the sony a105.
