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 had this with Midwinter Minis. He always seemed "off" to me. He was always trying to appear as "wholesome family man that just likes doing neat hobby things."
Turns out he's a fucking deadbeat who left his wife for his assistant he deliberately sought after. Refusing to pay above the bare minimum in child support, kicked his wife and newborn twins out of the house, doesn't give her any of the revenue for videos she helped make, etc. etc. so on and so forth.
It's like in order to be a successful YouTuber, you go down the same path as people who become president: you have to be a narcissistic egomaniac looking for ways to gain power over others so you can abuse your authority.
Honestly this applies to most celebrities/pop culture figures/whatever you want to call them. At this point I just assume they have some skeletons in their closet or some other bullshit they're responsible for until I'm proven wrong. Even seemingly innocuous creators like Midwinter Minis can be complete garbage
Holy shit, he did what? I stopped paying attention a while ago because his videos stopped being good lol.
Yeah his now ex-wife made a post about it and people living in his town dug up some ads he had put out. It's something like this:
So his wife has their twins. Guy posts an ad looking for local help since Penny is recovering from giving birth. This is a ruse because he DMs a camerawoman from several towns over. He says the position has been filled, thanks everyone for applying (no interviews or calls with anyone local). He and new assistant start having an affair. Penny finds out. Guy has money saved up or whatever and hires a better lawyer. Gets Penny out of the house and hands her sole custody. He then pays the bare minimum in alimony. Penny makes a post on r*ddit, Guy makes a video about his wife's departure. Penny unloads all this shit before deleting it (on the advice of her lawyer). People do some digging and verify some of her claims. Guy admits he DM'd new camerawoman and she never applied to begin with.
I think that's all of it. I only watched a video or two, got kinda creeped by him, then found out all the drama in the comments. Of course, comments were being deleted, but people were screenshotting and posting elsewhere.
