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.

Yeah Tucker scares the shit of me. He is clearly class conscious and knows which side he is on. I do not fuck with it
Generally fully agreed, he's a scary and horrible person, but is this video a showcase of that? Seemed to me very bourgeois infighting? He's just trying to make clout by talking about obvious shit that Media won't, and he will definitely want to use that clout to build up power to do the fascist shit he wants. But how was that class conscious?
To me, it seems like Tucker is willing to sacrifice certain factions of the bourgeoisie for the sake of rationalizing the system. He's previously had some sharp criticism of landlords and other unproductive rent-seekers, for example. Some over-inflated tech nerd who just wasted a trillion dollars or whatever is exactly the kind of guy he would sacrifice for his greater project. He's willing to break a few eggs while everyone else in power is so easily captured by small factions of capital and niche interests that they're completely unable to solve any structural problems. And it's obviously smart politics as well, everyone fucking hates these parasites. Tucker probably would actually make the trains run on time, by disciplining labor but also capital when needed. I think he's the only prominent figure who both realizes this and seems willing to follow through.
Good thoughts, it reminds me of Losurdo's concept of a representative of a class that doesn't do what the class broadly wants, but instead what it needs to protect it from itself. Tucker does seem aware of protecting the bourgeoisie from their own incompetences and inability to strategically break with their fake ideals when needed.
I noticed that, that man scares me.
