the ebb and flow of tropes gaining and losing authenticity is kinda fascinating tbh

like, something like this works to communicate a certain idea or aesthetic, effectively enough that people start to emulate it, until at some point it becomes cliche

I think this happens not only for skits and visual shorthand’s, but also for mannerisms of personas. Bobby Burns made some great content breaking this phenomenon down before he moved to LA with Shane Dawson and started doing rap videos. He had a real weird arc.

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.
