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 mean he has a point in that the US not having like, any basic Tool/Die ability is pretty bad (for the US), and fostering local ability isn't a bad idea.

But he clearly impregnates the rest of the video with anti-Chinese bullshit. Like, he couldn't find any US supply for the chain-mail, so he compromises and imports it - but going to great lengths specifically to avoid China. Then when he does find a supplier (in India), turns out they're just drop-shipping Chinese parts lmao.

And at one point he specifically mentions the CCP as some evil force.

The whole video kinda made my skin crawl I dunno. Dude makes some interesting videos but this one is kinda gross. It reads less "pro-local" and more "anti-Chinese"

Yeah if it was a youtuber making this and it was a workers co-op or something and they just explained things it would be fine. The Sinophobia is cringe. Also exploiting workers is cringe.

Making a product paid for by your patrons only to then sell it for a profit while stealing wages from your workers... Super cringe.
