Post Description

ever tired of YouTube recommendations? can't think of something to watch? try phreak.watch.

everyone watches the same video together. users can vote on what plays next, or leave it up to fate and let the site choose something random, or vote to skip the current video if it’s not their cup of tea.

there’s also a shared chatroom, reactions, and statuses. there are no private rooms and no separate queues. everyone is stuck watching the same thing.

i just finished the first version, so there are probably bugs. feedback, criticism, and reports of anything broken are welcome.
