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.

Thumbnail is clickbait in the sense that the video does not address specific instances by specific creators, but is more of a call on everyone to reflect on certain behaviors we might/might not engage with. Just watch the first two minutes if that's all the time you have right now, but do that much at least.

Edit: Some people are taking quotes that the AI has written in a comment and acting as if that’s what’s actually in the video. It’s not. I thought it should be obvious that if you want to critique the video, you have to watch it rather than depend on an AI to to provide a a summary.

I wonder which female creators she’s referring to when she says they’re not taken seriously because they’re denounced as too liberal or bougie. Personally I don’t take any of breadtube seriously, but the algorithm has only ever pushed Contra, PT, and…. That’s it as far as I can tell.

And Contra is 1000% a bougie liberal. PT only like, uh, 98%. But if V**sh counts (and OOP counts him), then it's not like the men aren't reactionary slop-gourmands, with the better among them* just limiting what they say to the more pure expressions of that in media criticism rather than pretending to really do politics.

Turns out liberalism is a fucking problem that needs to be combated!

*This being a highly relative superlative

Yeah I'm not a fan of vagueness, if there is an issue, you must be explicit

Mexie is the only one I could think of that's mostly ML but phrases things less hard than male MLs might and thus might get ragged on like this.

I think it's more of a YouTube problem than a left-media problem, or at least way more pronounced on YT, because I can think of so many woman MLs on podcasts but YT is like, IDK, 2-3, especially big name ones? Anything with a visual component is going to be harder on women than men most likely and YT is filled with the worst men imaginable watching things.

The video is saying the libtube isn't liberal enough and too many mean bros are calling them libs? Into the trash this video goes
