 Hey guys, welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rossell here for today's video going to be taking look at some of the communities on Reddit subreddits that you might find relevant interesting if you are a video content creator distributing via the YouTube platform. And you want to talk with other people about everything that goes into running a YouTube channel. These communities might be of value to you. So firstly, why would you look for YouTube communities specifically on Reddit? So Reddit is a website that's basically a giant giant network of different topic based communities. And something Reddit tends to do well is social discussion and moderating these communities. And there's also lots of Facebook groups for YouTubers if you want to talk about all those same topics, but to do so on Facebook. The advantage of Reddit to my opinion is that some subreddits tend to be well moderated. There's of course less well moderated subreddits. The danger whenever you put a community of YouTubers together is that you're going to have folks who are just going to abuse the communities to spam their YouTube videos. And that's not going to add value for pretty much anyone. So these communities that I'm going to show now are, I think, relatively good communities touching on different parts of the experience of running a YouTube channel, whether you're looking for advice, whether you have advice to give to other YouTubers, definitely these communities might be valuable to you. Okay, so jumping over to my screen here, the first community I'm going to talk about is our YouTube. This is Reddit.com forward slash our forward slash YouTube. And this particular subreddit has 623,000 people subscribe to it. So in the broad scheme of things on Reddit, that's considered a pretty big community. Now, if you've never used Reddit before, the way it works is that you have subreddits and users. And if you want to know what kind of stuff that community is looking for, this about community box here pretty much tells you what the ground rules are, what you can and cannot do. So this YouTube community is a meta discussion about YouTube as a platform, its features, bugs, business decisions, etc. But not for video sharing, channel feedback, creator or content discussion. This is a fan sub, not runner owned by YouTube. So this is if you have questions about YouTube as a platform, this is a good channel to talk about it on, specifically regarding stuff like the algorithm, YouTube, etc. You'll find it here. Now, big, big subreddits because they're so, so many threads, so many users, so many participants tend to use something called flares to organize the discussion a little bit. And you're able to filter the subreddit by one of these flares, whether you want to talk about community guideline strikes, YouTube premium questions or discussion. Next subreddit I want to highlight. I think this is actually a really good subreddit. It's called NewTubers and it's URL. I'll put all these links in the description. It's reddit.com forward slash r, forward slash NewTubers. And according to its title, NewTubers, the premier small content creator community. So this is basically a place for talking about not just YouTube, you can actually also ask technical questions here, like questions related to your videography related to your editing, lights, cameras, etc. Stuff like that. And you can also get feedback from other YouTubers. Now, this is something I haven't done today, but if you are feeling a bit brave and you want to just post your videos out to the community for other people to critique aspects of your video production, you can do that. This one has 268,000 content creators, so it's not quite as big a community as the main YouTube subreddit. But this is a really solid community. If you're getting started with YouTube and you have questions about specific aspects of the process, definitely worth subscribing to NewTubers as well. One more reddit community. This one is called a partnered YouTube. And as the name suggests, this is specifically for folks who are part of the YouTube partner program, which means essentially they're monetized. So this is a little bit more of a niche and specific YouTube community where you can talk about stuff related to monetizing your YouTube videos, the approval process, settings, all stuff like that. And this one has 41,000 members, so it's a little bit smaller than YouTubers again. But this is a good place to come if you have questions specifically related to being in the YouTube partner program, payments, verification, etc. A lot of stuff like that. Now, as well as these YouTube communities, there's also some video related communities on Reddit that I wanted to highlight. This is actually one of my favorite subreddits. It's called reddit.com forward slash r forward slash videography. And as the name suggests, this is a subreddit for folks related to the actual technical process of creating video. And it's open to YouTubers, as you can see in the reddit community description. It's a community for videographers of all skill levels and fields, such as wedding events, live performances, music videos, TV, corporates, live streaming, sports, real estate, YouTube, home videos, and more. So I've actually participated in this particular subreddit quite a bit. If there is someone looking for advice and I know the answer, I'll give advice. I've also asked for technical help, and there is some really useful flares in the subreddit. There's one where you can ask like how you can post a link to a video and ask how did they do this and videographers will chip in with various suggestions for what you can do in post-production or pre-production to replicate that open field. So I think these videography related subreddits are also really useful. Finally, in terms of more niche subreddits, this is just I've opened up CadenLive here because it's the video editor I'm using. Most people are going to be using Adobe Premiere or DaVinci Resolve. But just to kind of drive home the point that there are really a lot of different communities over on YouTube. This is just scratching the surface of what there is. For example, if you're using CadenLive as a video editor and you want to talk with other people editing in CadenLive, there is a CadenLive subreddit and you can again engage in discussion, ask questions, give support to other users, stuff like this. And a final one on the tour is there's also a DaVinci Resolve subreddit if you're editing using DaVinci Resolve. 33,000 people in the sub, so again more popular. That's a whistle stop tour of some of the communities on Reddit, the subreddits that I think are relevant if you are looking to talk about running a YouTube channel. One great thing about these subreddits and online communities in general is that if you don't know people in real life who are running YouTube channels and going through all the various things involved in that, where do you want to talk about? How do you get over shyness when you're vlogging in public? Topics like that, you can definitely open up for discussion in these online communities and I think they're very, very worthwhile.
