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.

There's plenty of things to be pessimistic about: the US is starting up 6 different proxy wars, Israel is doing genocide, the planet is on fire, etc. Seeing union action is one thing that gives me some hope is a ocean of despair.
UAW just won a very good new contract last month which includes the right to strike over plant closures. After winning their contract UAW announced that within in the next 5 years, they want to unionize 3 more non-union car companies. UAW announced that they want to organize a general strike with other unions to potentially happen on May 1, 2028. UAW is currently attempting to organize 13 non-union car companies, including: Toyota, Tesla, Volkswagen, Nissan, BMW.
Will the UAW unionize all 13 companies in the next 5 years? Probably not. I'm happy if they unionize 1 more company. I need something to be happy about. This is a hopium post. We're getting high on hopium.
