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.

I mean I was a kid but I had already started reading The Hobbit in the fifth grade and then The Lord of the Rings in the sixth grade before the movies came out, so by the time I started reading Harry Potter also in the sixth grade I already felt like it was good but not great. But my grandma bought them for me because she knew I liked Tolkien's books so I read them all each time she'd buy them for me. She was really sweet about it so I always feel like a jerk when I shit on Harry Potter books like this because I feel like an ungrateful little brat. Haha She'd understand though.

But, honestly, I feel like the last book was the most interesting to me.
