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.

The tourists apparently started haggling after being charged 1.50 dollars for a cup of tea :michael-laugh:

Holy fuck put this in my fucking veins :faded:

These people should be milking the everloving fuck out of western tourists, they're the entire reason that their local economies have become completely reliant on tourism. Anyone who visits global south tourism areas and isn't overwhelmingly happy to pay above the literal cents these people are almost always asking for, or even the overcharged prices, needs the wall

:stalin-gun-1::stalin-gun-2:

Literally how fucking undignifying must it be to watch most of your community's local, culturally-important and historic professions disappear and be financially strong-armed into providing Service With A Smile to rich white people who treat you like a curiosity as though they're at a fucking zoo or adventure park

Edit: The documentary Sherpa is about a bunch of Sherpas working on Everest coming together, after a few of them die from being forced through unsafe working conditions, to say a resounding Fuck You to the rich white owners of the tourism companies and to cancel the rest of the 2015 climbing season. It's heartbreaking but I couldn't recommend it highly enough. The praxis payoff and sheer magnitude of rich tourist cope at the end is just :chefs-kiss:
