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.

The technology was different.
Does "medieval" apply outside the Eurasian context? Does it make any sense to categorize various indigenous American civilizations as medieval, or does the term only apply to a time period?
I may have seen it used before, but pre-Colombian almost always makes more sense. And even that label is still defining things through colonizer terms rather than indigenous ones.
Pre-(transoceanic) contact makes a lot of sense because it really deeply transformed everything.
I think there's decent evidence of trade between the West Coast of the Americas and island cultures way out in the Pacific long before European contact

Seriously this shit is whiter than my untanned belly.
Whiter than a dip made from mayonnaise, cream cheese, and sour cream.
Daily reminder no historian calls it "the Dark Ages." It's either the "Middle Ages" or "Medieval Ages." Never dark.
If you can't even get the fucking name right, you shouldn't be making videos, regardless of how wrong you still are.
