Video streaming is becoming one of the most popular content consumption methods. The world's most populated countries - China and India - use YouTube's monthly traffic as equivalent to their entire population. YouTube no longer refers to videos as a noun, but it has become a verb where people can watch videos to learn new things or improve their skills. So whether you want to learn how to play guitar or you want to learn how to cook, there is a video for you on YouTube.
The content consumption on YouTube is just mind-blowing. You?ll find any tutorial you need on this platform. From gaming videos to DIY house building, YouTube has it all. Consider Felix, whose channel has over 100 million subscribers. He rolls out a video every day and, on average, receives 4-5 million views each day. There are millions of creators like him operating small to medium channels that attract tons of traffic. Thus, it shouldn?t be a surprise that the worldâs biggest community has its own subreddit, wherein people want to discuss everything thatâs happening on YouTube.
This morning, we'll be reviewing a cool subreddit - r/YouTube. You'll find all sorts of posts and videos regarding YouTube. You can ask a question, engage in a debate, share high-quality content, or provide feedback to other user's videos.
My recent experience on r/YouTube
My recent experience on r/YouTube was funny. A user by the name of u/yajTPG posted an image where the size of high resolution was less as compared to medium resolution.
As per the chart, the three resolution options - Low (144p), Medium (360p), and High (720p) - all require different amounts of storage space. His question to YouTube was, "How does 720p take less storage than 360p?", so YouTube replied with, "Yes, as 720p takes up less storage space than 360p, it is more efficient for users." Can you explain why that is?
?Thank you for always making me laugh.?
And just when you think they?ve given you a reason to meme, they find a way to win your heart back. Quite recently, their heartwarming message was Pewdiepie received a lot of traction. The caption read, ?Thank you for always making me laugh.?
Congratulations, PewDiePie! You've had a pretty amazing month, haven't you? Married to Marziapie and reviving your love of Minecraft has been great, and you hit 100 million subscribers on YouTube in the process. It's been a great month all around!
About r/YouTube - Community & Members
This is a subreddit for meta-discussion about everything that happens on YouTube. From features, upgrades, bugs, and business decisions, you'll find everything on this subreddit. This is not an official subreddit, and it's not run by youtube or google employees. Though there are a few of them, they don't have a major say on the subreddit. You can see how popular it is by looking at the numbers - 414,000 members! Sure, it's not the highest number out there, but with 1-2k members online at any given time, the overall activity does look decent.
How to access r/YouTube?
If you're already a Reddit user, simply type "r/YouTube" in your search bar and follow the subreddit. If you're new to Reddit, you'll need to sign up on the platform and confirm your email address. By doing so, you'll be able to follow subreddits, comment on posts, and even post anything on any of the subreddits.
Moderators of r/YouTube
Now I get that r/YouTube is not as popular as other video-based subreddits. It's way smaller than other streaming-based pages, such as r/videos, r/livestreamfails, and so on. However, we also need to consider that not every YouTube viewer has a Reddit account, and even if they do, they might not be interested in technical discussions and controversies since they're already up to date with the stories of their favorite creators.
There is still a need for members to maintain decorum on r/YouTube, as moderators do a great job ensuring that posts meet the rules and guidelines. At the time of writing this review, there are five moderators - Pokechu22, FunnyMan3595, LightCodeGaming, channelmasta, and RevaniteAnime.
Why should you follow r/YouTube?
On R/YouTube, users post quality content relating to accomplishments, updates, bugs, and hiatus news. The best part about this page is that the users help creators attract a lot of attention. On this thread, you'll also find information relating to burgeoning channels, creative direction, amazing editing, and overall mishaps. For instance, one funny post had this "Pinned by Creator" comment when the channel was of some other creator. Lol. These bugs and mishaps are fun to witness.
Community Engagement
Most fascinating aspect of this subreddit is that members are able to chat with each other. There is a section in the header part of the subreddit called "Chatter" where users are encouraged to find people who want to chat. This is a great initiative to kill boredom and make conversation more fun during testing times. The AI matches you with members who are in need of communication, so you'll never be alone. The last time I checked, there were nearly 2,000 members who wanted to chat. As far as posts go, a top post on any given day attracts between 250-400 upvotes.
Browsing & Navigation
If you want, you can judge me, but I love controversy on YouTube. However, the content on this subreddit was different than what I was expecting. Here, people were focused on features, updates, and upgrades of YouTube rather than the creator's content itself. It seems like a team of 600,000 members just highlighting what's wrong with YouTube- there aren't many creator-related posts, but the content that is present on this platform is for the greater good.
Reddit Gold
Reddit Gold is not commonly found on this page. Don't expect to see multiple golds for any post. If you are awarded gold on this subreddit for any post or comment, consider that to be your lucky day. Even the wittiest and funniest content gets swept under the carpet due to the sheer volume of content being posted. On average, you will find 2-3 golds if you were to check the top 20 posts of the month.
Filter by flair
If you're not into rants and controversies, there's a decent chance you'll find them on this platform. Recently, YouTube rolled out an update that moved the comment section underneath the channel - which apparently got a lot of users upset. If you're looking for a less abrasive browsing experience, there are three filters to choose from: Discussion, Question, and Bug.
There are some important rules you need to know before joining r/YouTube.

Design
I like the layout of this subreddit, but I do think it needs an original icon and a better cover image. Apart from that, the overall design seems cool. There are 3-4 ad banners, but they don't disrupt the browsing experience. I check this subreddit a couple of times a week, but I'm not very active on it. When I do, I spend about 15-20 minutes on it.
Overall, the browsing experience is cool, and video playback on YouTube is quite easy. For some reason, video playback on YouTube is 1000 times better than my experience with Twitch via Reddit. So, overall, I get to watch the content, and I can't be happier.
