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.

Conversely, what is the need for everything to be open in the middle of the night? The person is stating nothing is open 24/7 any more.
it's a bit more complicated an answer than 'I need treats at three am and there's no treats to be had'.
It costs actual money to be open. Lot of places require extended hours permits to stay open past 11pm-midnite. The returns on staying open 24/7 May not justify staying open all nite. Also, I like to sleep.
I understand there are third shifters , I get that folks have insomnia. But the examples used haven't really changed. Wendy's is still 'open late'. Open late doesn't mean 24/7. Whataburger are still 24/7. Taco Bell's are mostly independently owned and have always set their own hours, more or less. The mom n pop gas stations have always closed around around 11,12. The big ones are still open 24/7. She uses Irving Pizza as an example, then complains that the place that took the space when Irving Pizza closes doesn't have the same business hours ?
This kinda comes across as complaining for treats IMO.
In many countries close to the equator where it is hot and humid all year round (e.g. Southeast Asian countries), it is unpleasant to hang out in the sun during the day. Most people spend their time indoor in air conditioned buildings during the day. Nightlife is important for people living in those places. Also, people hang out late to watch European soccer, which is part of the social life there.
Similarly, there are many cities in China along Changjiang/Yangtze River like Nanjing, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Chongqing etc. that are just way too fucking hot and humid during the summer. Except for Hangzhou where people go to bed at 9pm (lol), in many cities people prefer to hang out at night due to the unbearable heat during the day.
Bars/clubs/etc still stay open to whatever time they are licensed and allowed to depending upon what part of the US they are in. That hasn't changed.
Apples and oranges. You're comparing one country to another and that's disingenuous.
Again.. the complaint was nothing is open 24/7 anymore in the US
