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"
This guys is based out of Hunstville, Alabama, and if you do anything STEM-adjacent there it’s for the military in some capacity. I’ve been around those types and the Sinophobia runs deep. It’s lame though, his videos could be a lot better if his worldview didn’t come through as much.
“Fun” fact: the civic center in Huntsville is (still) named after Nazi scientist Wernher von Braun.
He's openly talked about his long career in engineering for the military, as of the last time I kept up with his channel (8 years ago maybe).
He'll go do humanitarian stuff like building orphanages in Peru and see absolutely no contradiction between that and his day job.
