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.

No, I did not mean to imply that he is a snob or that he's racist or anything. I was just amused that I pressed a random point and he had named the western perception of the middle east as a homogeneous culture "Persian" That's it. That's the end of my point on that. And that related to that that I don't think anyone else would name this homogeneous orientalist soup "Persian" unless they had a specific goal in mind or they had a connection to Persian culture. I didn't mean to imply that he was a cultural supremacist, or that he was saying anything wrong. It's just that I've never heard anyone refer to the generized and racist caricature of the middle east, north africa and central asia as "Persian" and the first time I do it's an Iranian.

Yeah, I've seen it a couple of times online, like with these types of "vibes-based" music playlists, but otherwise you're right, it's hardly ever referred to as Persian, at least not in the video title; I imagine he probably has that impression due to whatever algorithm he has on YouTube/Other social media feeding him stuff like what I linked, but probably to an even greater degree, just because of how these algorithms function, but idk! Sorry for misunderstanding you!
