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.

How the fuck are you gonna reeducate people from being TSwift fans?

are they appreciating her skill and effort or are they creepy obsessives? there's two different dynamics here: liking an artist's art is fine. the rest of "fandom" is unhealthy and probably dangerous.

Regardless I'm curious how we're going to ID and single out there people and compel them to attend "Don't be a Psycho Simp for Celebrities" lectures

denormalization of obsessive fandom in general would be a public good. destroy celebrity gossip media and take down fan sites. infiltrate and disrupt fandom-cult affinity groups as practice for infiltrating and disrupting counterrevolutionary groups.

If they're not doing it in a community they're probably not a functional problem and hopefully changing social norms and a couple Very Special Episodes of some family sitcoms would nudge those folks into behaviors that aren't as harmful to themselves or the people around them.
