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.

Half of the comments on this thread is people claiming that they're too important and busy to watch the video, while simultaneously taking the time to comment about how they didn't watch the video.

Like who is this for?

Idk why people get so weird about media length. You don't like movies or videos that are too long? Okay, that's a totally legitimate preference, but just don't watch it then?

If you wanna have a discussion about how certain market trends are encouraging creators to make their content longer and longer and how thats detrimental to media as a whole fine. I don't get complaining about individual creators or pieces of media though, long media can be good, idk if anyone else has seen 1900.

But why have a thoughtful analysis of the material pressures on internet content creation, when you can be a heckin' big chungus lefto, who bitches about it on the Bear website, cuz you don't like a guy for being a lib? Upbears to the left!

Fr y'all, watch the video as background noise. If you can listen to theory audiobooks, you can do this.

Or, better yet, take the time you would've spent watch the video essay, or bitching about its length online, to read Combat Liberalism.

This is my issue. Most people here complaining about the length probably just think HBomber is a douche. Which is fine, but just say that rather than use the fact his videos are long as a sidewind to bitch about him. Most of you would probably watch an equally long video with glee of it was by someone you like on a topic you care about.

Yeah dont like him for being a lib. And calling to bomb dprk.

Tbf plagiarism is just a boring topic overall.

Okay, that's fine.

But I think most people here would watch a 3 hour BoyBoy or Hakim video NP

Omg. Got a link?

Just watch his entire catalog twice

No, Breadtubers like HB and Contra would be fine if their videos are as short as Dunkey's videos. But these 2+ hour monstrosities deserve to be shit on. Likewise, I wouldn't want to watch some 2+ hour Dunkey video. That's sounds like complete trash lol

I'd watch a 2 hour Internet Comment Etiquette with Big Money video
