I'm back after a week hiatus where I was helping lemmy.ninja manage a large influx of new users. And that means it's time for a new Community Spotlight! Today I bring you Pitch A Youtuber, a community whose sole purpose is to spread the word about extraordinary youtube artists. I'm not much of a youtube-watcher myself, but I have to admit that there are some incredibly good offerings out there.
So today only, I'm going to give you a two-for-one deal. First you get this community spotlight telling you about the Pitch A Youtuber community! As an added bonus, I'm going to give you not one but two great Youtube channels that you should check out.
First there's Professor of Rock, a channel I only discovered last week when I watched the incredible Rick Roll episode. I'm not really a fan of rock culture, or music history. Sure, I loves me some techno, and I listen to all kinds of music; I just have never had that much of an interest in it. But there's such a level of quality in the Professor of Rock content that I couldn't put it down! I mean, have you seen my community spotlight posts? I have the attention span of a goldfish with dementia. And yet I watched that episode (and one or two others) from start to finish. Great content!
And for your other free gift, I present the irreverent but surprisingly insightful Red Letter Media. I'm an enormous film and television fan, having worked in the entertainment industry for a while and having seen probably every movie in existence. I love the horror genre, and I'm also a huge Star Trek fan. Put those together and you get the content of the Red Letter Media channel. There's a lot of snark, but so much more deeply informed content about the industry that I find myself coming back to this channel again and again. You'll have to watch a few to decide what you think. I don't really have a specific video to recommend. But I will say it was very interesting to see them come around on their opinions of Star Trek Picard.
So there you have it. My longest community spotlight post, with added bonuses. If you like content like this, head over to Pitch A Youtuber and contribute!
