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.

The common true answer to these kinds of thoughts is always, "it depends". Wanting simple and fast rules helps to frame questions, discussions, and solutions, but you would be incorrect to just say yes or no.
If a cop is harassing you, do you just call yourself a communist because you reject "hiding your power level"? Won't that just pointlessly make them go after you harder? Will any observers understand or care what it means for the cop to arbitrarily detain and arrest you after sharing this fact?
If you are tabling and are cagey about your associations, won't they, correctly, distrust you? Aren't you missing out on opportunities to spread consciousness and recruit?
This is actually a propaganda question, and for propaganda just about your very first thought should be about identifying your intended audience(s), what you want them to think or do after your interaction with them, and what threats might exist and how you will mitigate them. That should determine how open you are about communism. For example, if you are in the US at a party and calk yourself a communist to a stranger, they will probably not even understand what you mean by that. You will fail to communicate if you rely on this alone. You'd need to explain it shortly in a way that speaks to things familiar to them, like working a job and imperialism. If you lead with "communist" they may end up leaving before your explanation. Better to explain first and label later. On the other hand if you're giving a speech for a communist party.
Overall I think it is best to explain yourself as best you can to be understood when it comes to non-enemies. Sometimes that looks like hiding your power level and sometimes it doesn't.
