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.

Making a strawman called Tabi-Chan to deride for an entire video while talking down to them endlessly really strikes me as incredibly stuck up and divisive. It does not strike me as convincing. It does not strike me as a good way to reach out and convince people.

The only people this will appeal to are the people that already agree with it. The people it is trying to ""convince"" are going to just look at it and be offended by the shamelessly offensive caricature Contra is presenting of them.

This is a grift. She is pandering to her audience while shamelessly aiming to trigger the people the video claims it wants to convince.

90% of this website is Tabi-chan.

Yes and the video has succeeded in its intention -- to trigger us into sharing. It has done fuck all to convince anyone other than people that already agreed with it.

It's all about getting more shares. Contra doesn't actually give a fuck about meaningfully affecting the election in any way, she has just solely made this for grift.
