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.
"Hey man, you check out the new Vaush video on BreadTube???"

Breadtube 

A leftist movement that was propped up by YouTube and Governmental organizations to defend YouTube’s increasingly authoritarian rules and restrictions. All BreadTubers, despite pretending to be edgy, defend the current Democrat administration in the United States despite being completely against their supposed anarchist and communist beliefs and most BreadTubers ironically enough commit bourgeoisie actions like spending thousands of dollars on fancy costumes and drug usage. The worst part about Breadtube though is it’s fanbase, who are completely rabid and will defend anything their Breadtube idols say, even if it’s completely 100% wrong.
Robert: Hi Daniel what are you watching?
Daniel: Oh it’s called Breadtube, it’s going to help turn this country communist!
Robert: Why is that man dressed up in a fancy dress and makeup? And why is that man just reacting to images?
Daniel: You don’t get it grandpa this is how we are going to turn America communist!
Robert: Okay Daniel that’s enough internet for you, time to go outside.
Daniel: FUCK YOU GRANDPA YOU ALT-RIGHT NEO-NAZI CHUD!

When the sleeping situation at your summer share house is overcapacity and there are no beds left, you are forced to take the pillows from the pull out couch and create a bed on the treadmill. You are simultaneously sleeping and burning calories.
Jane rolled into the share house crank bank shwasted and dove right onto her treadbed where she slept soundly all night!

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
