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.

Mikayla Raines, an autistic woman known for making heartwarming videos of rescue foxes enjoyed by millions of people around the globe, has taken her own life at the age of 29 — a murder by a thousand cuts perpetrated through online abuse. She is survived by her husband Ethan and daughter Freya, who will continue to operate the Save a Fox rescue in her absence.

I empathize with and wish the best to them and the rescue, and to the rest of Mikayla Raines' friends and family, and may Raines herself rest in peace. Despite not watching Save a Fox regularly in years, I have to say that the videos warmed my heart in some tough times, so it's a huge bummer to see that someone who spread so much brightness in the world has been killed in such a horrible way. Between Mikayla Raines and Jonathan Joss, it really seems like this month has had several good people's lives taken by the world's ugliness.

Down with that ugliness! Destroy it, completely! Long live Great Humanity!

Could you give some more details on this? I had no idea she was being bullied at all; all I knew was she uploaded awesome videos of her foxes. Why the heck would anyone bully her; HER of all people.

Heck, she's white and straight, she's exactly who the internet freaks claim they want to protect (not that those 'people' ever actually help anyone).

Am I missing something? Why would anyone bully her?

I didn't really know much about her; I only used to stop by her videos to see the content about the foxes; I didn't even know her by name either; when I saw the title I assumed perhaps her fox recently that passed away was too much for her, but I never imagined EVER that she'd be getting bullied.

EDIT: Just found somewhat of a breakdown; apparently a bunch of losers on the internet who fancied themselves detectives decided to harass the heck out of her because they fantasized to themselves some ridiculous nonsense about her. Absolute losers.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up and the head of the reddit loser witch hunt was this creepy ass zoophile who is now playing the victim even though they spearheaded the hate campaign, doxxxing, and harassment. I hope her parents pursue some form of charges against those responsible if able.
