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 don't know how people can unironically use self-congratulatory labels in general. I'd argue that there is a similar case for the word 'progressive' as used by liberals.
The most glaring one to me is when tech billionaire worshipers call themselves capital-R "Rationalists."
Rationalism has a specific meaning, but yeah, I'm not really sure why anybody would consider themselves rationalists in the sense of claiming that there is no way of studying the world other than rationalist ones (as opposed to, for example, empirical studies).
If that had an original specific meaning outside of billionaire-financed "LessWrong" jackoffs like Big Yud and his Harry Potter fanfic-based cult, that specific meaning's been lost for some time now in contemporary use.
