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.

october 7th was a horrific terrorist attack

Why would this even come up in the video? Can libs seriously shut the fuck up

It was in the context of nonsensical accusation, that MSF is hamas, that was used as an example

Besides being a LIB her videos have been feeling kinda unfocused and scattershot lately, with way more focus on bits and costumes than good argumentation. I'm actually less anti-bits-n-costumes in edutainment than most here but even for me it's getting to be a bit much.

Honestly feels like she still doing YT just as a means to promote her acting career, which, whatevs, we all gotta hustle, especially those of us who want to be actors shrug-outta-hecks

The part about phantasms was very interesting but eveything leading up to it was unnecessary

[–] theposterformerlyknownasgood@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If she's gonna hustle, she should hustle for better projects. Her big project is a short film directed by someone whose other credits includes ads and youtube scams (actual scams, "Buy my brain tonic/video courses" type scams)

I mostly just know she does some stage shit in London, idk the quality of it

[–] theposterformerlyknownasgood@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

She did a play called "The Prince", which I don't know a lot about. The summary I heard, partially from Abigail herself, was that it was Hamlet but Hamlet finds out he's in a play halfway through. I haven't watched it, since it was only available as a stage performance or on nebula. That was her last big project that she would try to sell people on.
Her newest project is short film called Dracula's Ex-Girlfriend which is a short film (Not a play).

Edited out some criticism, it wasn't necessary.

Sorry, I don’t care how good the rest of the video is, casual denigration of resistance to genocide is an immediate turnoff. Also I’ve had enough of these us-foreign-policy infrastructure influencers

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I wish she'd make these videos less about herself, I dont need to know or care about her vanity projects and future career. I dont like the spoiled little rich kid energy one bit.

But I actually managed to listen to the whole thing, first one of her videos I've made it through for ages.

Yeeaaaah. Both contrapoints and philosophy tube really leaned into self indulgence the moment that they came out.

[–] fox@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In one of Philosophy Tube's videos, before she came out, she dressed herself up as a shirtless demon wearing a crown and a live snake to talk about Jordan Peterson, so let's not pretend the indulgence started after coming out.

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

That was very close, chronologically speaking.

I feel similar about Hbomb doing long videos about fixations like the oof sound. At a certain points the brand becomes bigger than the video subject. If the views come regardless they just follow whatever whim into a video essay or turn it into a vlog.

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I earnestly, just this very moment, learned that Philosophy Tube and ContraPoints aren't the same woman doing bits for an hour for their 10 minutes of content.

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The fact one is br*tish and the other isnt didn't give that away?

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

I thought it was one of the bits. eviscerated

Not Just Bikes is an awesome channel btw

NJB makes good points about how infrastructure can be changed to be better and gives good examples of that happening, but his solution to bad infrastructure is straight up "just move"

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I remember him saying Americans should just give up on making their cities better because he did. I'm sorry we can't all live in Amsterdam or wherever, but what the fuck kind of activist tells people to give up?

[–] Abracadaniel@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's not an activist he's a lib with good opinions about transport and cities.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

There are a number of libs with good opinions and good editing skills in that field. I'd rather watch one that actually believes good things are possible in the places that need help the most, if for no other reason than that car emissions in the US fuck things up in Prague too

big fan of her videos, this looks cool abby-exasperation

also the cowboy costume is pretty nice i think crush

I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
