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.

Wasn’t an adult at the time, but a bit too old to get into it either. So I didn’t have the fully fleshed out perspective, but the impression I got was that it was drawing in adult readers who weren’t already fantasy readers and ergo not familiar with the tropes and stereotypes of the genre. So the unoriginal elements appeared novel to them.
As far as why this particular series: my best guess is that it came down to the marketing. Maybe invoked some nostalgia in adult readers for older novels/series like Narnia.
