Hello, YouTube Enthusiasts!
We're thrilled to launch the YouTube Highlights Blog, a space where we'll pull back the curtain on our content curation process and share the stories that inspire us every day.
For months, we've been quietly watching, filtering, and discovering the best YouTube has to offer. We've spent countless hours diving into documentaries, video essays, tutorials, and hidden channels that deserve so much more attention than they get.
Why We Started This Blog
Our newsletter has always been about one thing: fighting clickbait and celebrating quality. But we realized there's so much more we want to share with you beyond just our weekly picks.
Here's what you can expect from this blog:
- Behind-the-Scenes Stories – How we find hidden gems and the criteria we use to select content
- Creator Spotlights – In-depth features on brilliant YouTubers who deserve bigger audiences
- Curation Tips – How you can discover better content on your own
- Industry Insights – Our thoughts on YouTube's algorithm, creator economy, and platform changes
- Community Stories – Hearing from subscribers about the videos that changed their perspectives
Our Mission Hasn't Changed
"YouTube is an incredible platform with millions of hours of content, but finding the truly valuable videos feels like searching for needles in a haystack."
That's still what drives us. The algorithm often prioritizes watch time and engagement over quality and depth. Clickbait thumbnails dominate recommendations. Genuinely insightful content gets buried.
We're here to change that—one curated recommendation at a time.
What's Next?
Over the coming weeks and months, we'll be publishing regularly. We'll share stories about creators who moved us, videos that taught us something new, and the behind-the-scenes work that goes into each newsletter.
We'll also be experimenting with different formats: interviews, curated lists, deep dives into specific topics, and maybe even some controversial opinions about the state of YouTube.
Join the Conversation
This blog isn't just about us talking at you. We want to hear your stories too:
- What videos have changed your perspective?
- Which creators do you think deserve more recognition?
- How do you discover quality content on YouTube?
If you're not already subscribed to our newsletter, we'd love to have you. Every week, we send out a carefully curated selection of videos that are actually worth your time.
Welcome to the YouTube Highlights Blog. Let's make YouTube better together.
