For those of you that don't know, YouTubeRED has just become a thing. It's a paid subscription which offers an ad-free experience for YouTube viewers, as well as access to exclusive content, such as Scare PewDiePie by PewDiePie, A Trip To Unicorn Island by Lilly Singh, Dance Camp by AwesomenessTV, and Lazer Team by Rooster Teeth. There is a free one-month trial available for whoever wants to try this out for themselves at youtube.com/red.

It is in the light of the ending of my trial period that this article is inspired. Not to mention my inexplicable adoration for YouTube and content creators. Here are the 5 types of content creators we have all come across at some point during our YouTube experiences.

1. The Informatives

These are content creators who just want to make learning fun for all of us. They're all usually nerds who are super passionate about either specific topics or just education in general.

There's a large variety in these as well, from channels like Crash Course, run by John and Hank Green, a dynamic digital duo who created Crash Course following the success on their VlogBrothers channel. Crash Course is set up like an actual class, in that it follows specific curricula and presents information in a format and schedule similar to that of a class in a school. Another channel similar to this is Khan Academy, which has since expanded beyond YouTube to an organization which provides not only short lectures, but also practice the skills learned in the lectures.

However, some channels are dedicated solely to short informative videos, such as CGP Grey, which focuses around explaining phenomena in our lives in varying topics from politics to biology to geography and even British culture. Other channels like this are Smarter Every Day and Vsauce.

Then there are channels focused around specific topics only, such as SciShow, also run by Hank Green, Sexplanations run by Dr. Lindsey Doe, Vi Hart (math), MinutePhysics (physics), ASAP Science (science), How To Adult (lifestyle/adult life), and PatrickJMT (math). These channels are run by creators who take their one specific topic and will often times either answer questions or create lectures based around things that they're interested, frequently asked questions, or a combination. They're often very thorough and will provide information about things you didn't think you'd really need to know, but are glad now that you do.

2. (Lifestyle) Vloggers

These are the people who think their way of life is the best. Maybe not exactly, but their channels are focused entirely around everything. Life hacks, beauty tips, self care tips, outfit look books, recipes- everything. There's nothing you WON'T find here! There's this sense of credibility to each however, and often times there's this sense that they know what they're doing, even if they might really not.

One channel which falls under this is The ShayTards, a family of five who video blogs- vlogs- their days and is currently one of the most subscribed to channels on YouTube. On the other end is Grace Helbig, another incredibly successful comedian who has made a name on YouTube creating daily videos, and has even hosted her own late night show, The Grace Helbig Show on E!. Other lifestyle vloggers include Zoe Sugg, Ingrid Nilsen, Jim Chapman, and The PointlessBlog.

3. The Comedians

These are everyone's favorite people. They're funny, loud, and outspoken. These are the people who do what they do for the sole purpose of making people laugh, and they succeed. They're happy, positive, confident people, and it's difficult to not want to be like them. They're always there for you when you need them, and even though you don't really know them, they're your best friends.

There are many comedians on youtube, but some notable ones are Lilly Singh, Miranda Sings, Danisnotonfire, SMOSH, JusReign, and, of course, Glozell.

There are many other types of YouTubers, and they're definitely worth checking out! There's no doubt that there is something for someone, and the wonderful thing about YouTube is the community which forms around people who believe in the content being created by a creator. Some communities, such as the VlogBrother's Nerdfighteria, has been around since the beginning of YouTube, while others such as Lilly Singh's Unicorns have been around for only a few years. Regardless, communities are strong, and allow for you to meet new and wonderful people all through one common shared interest.
