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.
-The Demnonization of' the Foreskin & the Rise of Circumcision in Britain (Robert Darby)

Stolberg attributes the success of the campaign to demonize mastur- bation to several political, ideological, and economic motives, including religious concern with "uncleanness;' bourgeois fears about self-control, and the "financial interests of the London venereal trade.'' He also shows how the symptoms blamed on masturbation addressed contemporary anxieties about virility, gender identity, and selfhood and were consis- tent with prevailing understandings of bodily function and disease cau- sation. Stolberg particularly mentions the role of medical entrepreneurs eager to increase the sale of their goods and services, and notes that mas- turbation gave the medical profession" a welcome opportunity to demon- strate the importance of medical expertise for promoting individual as well as social welfare.''
