Bold isn't the goal though, getting people to change their minds is the goal.

This type of title sets us up to get lost in a semantic debate (is the incident a "massacre" or does a better word fit?) or argue a technicality ("no one died in the square itself"). These are the worst ways to convince people of anything: a skeptical person has endless outs, pinning down an objective answer to semantics is almost impossible, and by the time you get to more meaningful points you've wasted a lot of time, attention, and credibility.

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.
