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.

I'm mostly in the "listen like it's a podcast or lecture" camp. During this video I've: played satisfactory, played factorio, done prep for a TTRPG campaign I wanna run, and walked my dog.

This one's below par for HBomb. Like I've re-listened to his early stuff dunking on Sargon and The Golden One dozens of times, I've re-listened to some of his more recent ones like Flat Earth two or three times, but this one will probably be a skip for me in the future. He would benefit from giving himself a hard per-upload time limit and not exceeding it no matter what.

This is probably one of the least interesting topics he's covered. I want coverage of absolutely freakish gremlin people when I tune into hbomb. The people he covers in this video are just run of the mill mediocre video essayists.

Not saying you have to like this recent video, but the level of blatant plagiarism and serial lying on display by James Sommerton is so comical to me, that I feel like he definitely qualifies as a freakish gremlin

I think a shorter video focused in him would have been better. It takes 2 hours to get there.

Yeah, the unhinged quality of it is a lot of the charm. Some day Tommy Tallarico is still watching his takedown to this day.

maybe this is just my brain being shit but i cant listen to people talk and work on other things at the same time.

I can play video games but that's about it, and even then anything that requires reading or more than an instant's thought will cause me to derail.

I can listen to riveting lectures while doing routine housechores and casual podcasts while focusing on some important task, but I can't do the riveting lectures and important task at the same time.
