TreadTube
A splinter group of leftists reacting in response to the formation and perceived liberal nature of BreadTube, the community generally known as TreadTube distinguishes itself for its authoritarian Marxist-Leninist leaning, which is often associated with the idiosyncratic term "tankie" on the internet.
Whereas BreadTube tends to emphasize and promote the practical aspects of socialist beliefs, such as decommodification and workplace democracy, TreadTube's focus tends to be on the acclamation of prior and current self-identified socialist states, most notably China and the former USSR but also Venezuela, North Korea and, to a lesser extent, Cuba and Vietnam.
Notable examples of TreadTubers would include Hakim, LunaOi and Bay Area415.

Examples:
"Ugh, I'm so tired of listening to all these radlibs on the online left, TreadTube is the only part of YouTube that's truly standing up to the global influence of American imperialism!"
"While TreadTubers can sometimes raise valid points about the influence of anti-communist propaganda in the west, their enthusiastic support for repressive totalitarian states seems ultimately determinantal to the promotion of socialist and progressive values."

TreadTube
The nickname given to the Marxist-Leninist and Marxist-Leninist-Maoist YouTube community, differing greatly from the liberal BreadTube.
While BreadTube encourages basic decommodification and social reforms, they uncritically repeat US intelligence propaganda and dismiss any talk of a social or political revolution, instead prefering the failed incrementalist approach of reforming capitalist.
TreadTubers challenge the validity of claims made by the US government, a country that has a long history of lying and projecting its own crimes onto other countries in order to justify military intervention to crush any kind of socialist revolutions. They also do the work of dispelling the lies and myths that have been spread about Marxism, socialism and communism.
