I still do not understand the point of the tiktok format. What is the benefit of having some rando's live reaction face on screen, squishing the view of what we're actually here to watch into a tiny little box on the side, half-covered by a bunch of on-screen text? Wouldn't it be better to just like... be presented with the video you're there to watch, instead of all this other crap?

idk man I just don't get it

Not sure about stitches and duets, I kinda think it can be entertaining to see if someone had the same reaction you did. Parasocial relationships, I guess.

As for Tiktok itself, a lot of it is more like Vine. I don't know what that means other than people miss Vine and try to re-create those types of short form videos.

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.
