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 just watched War and Peace (for like the fourth time, it's really good), that's 7 hours long but it's well paced, and subdivided into normal film length chunks. but i absolutely could not have watched it back to back, it'd be murder, especially if you excised the connecting tissue at the beginning and end of each part.
the removal of intermissions has actually happened with the extended cuts of the lord of the rings films. those were on DVD originally, and each film was broken up by the need to switch discs, a physically-imposed sort of intermission, but one nonetheless. but these days the whole damn things are on streaming and they are noticeably more interminable.
