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.

It depends. A squad weapon as defined by modern military minds wouldn’t be a siege weapon, it would be a squad operated machine gun most of the time.
The ballista first and foremost was a siege weapon operated by multiple people.
Which part do you count as more important? That determines the answer imo.
Ultimately, the power of the ballista was adding range that forced an unlearn choice: continue taking intermittent ballista fire or move forwards into your own range.
