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've had the opportunity to foster twice in my life and both times are some of the happiest I've been. I'm gearing up for a run at permanent adoption in the next few months because I think kids are absolutely amazing and I want the opportunity to raise someone from childhood to adulthood in order to share everything about life that is good.
I've got friends who are in the teaching field, and they regularly give me some wild stories. But the worst things they inevitably come back on are the administration hurdles and the idiotic bureaucracies. The kids are always the reason they stay in the field. They love the kids, even the rough cut ones. They even like the parents, more often than not.
Having kids is an amazing, life changing experience that transforms you and gives you the realiest opportunity to connect with other people and transform the world around you. The fact that we treat it as some kind of luxury, rather than a fundamental part of life, is a tragedy that's reflected in the hollowing out of the nation.
I’d love to have kids if I could afford to properly take care of them. But I sadly cannot.
