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.

disclaimer: i'm not watching all that so congratulations or sorry that happened to you

for kids/YA books, it's fine. nothing amazing, and it didn't earn its widespread success on merit, but acting like it's uniquely bad because the author is a shithead and libs are in love with it is silly

still blown out by Percy Jackson, A Series of Unfortunate Events, and The Caretaker trilogy (Did anyone else read the caretaker trilogy? shit was dope)

Percy Jackson is just an inferior version of "Erik Menneskesøn". No that doesn't make sense, but it's the truth.
