It doesn't has to be mainly tech-related, but the content of the channel should at least be able to be used in technology. To explain me better, I'll give you these examples: a channel about JavaScript tutorials, a channel about web design, a channel about command-line cmdlets - these are mainly tech-related. A channel about freelancing as an illustrator, a channel about laws in the technology, a channel about how to keep track and save your money could not be mainly tech-related, but can be used and applied to tech. A channel about makeup or a channel about compilations of every-day jokes don't apply to this list. - It must be an entire YouTube channel (a youtuber). You can't add only one video or playlist. +- Make sure the videos/playlists are actually from the YouTube channel you're submitting! A YouTube channel can create playlists and add videos from other youtubers; to keep the content concise and corresponding to the submission, make sure the videos on the playlists are made and uploaded by the youtuber you're submitting. - The channel must be mainly English. There're good youtubers whose content isn't in English, that's why you can still add them but they need to be added into the markdown file, in the [other-languages folder](https://github.com/JoseDeFreitas/awesome-youtubers/tree/master/other-languages/readme-non_en.md), corresponding to the language the channel is in (the [code of conduct](https://github.com/JoseDeFreitas/awesome-youtubers/blob/master/code-of-conduct.md) and these rules apply **the same** to non-english channels). - The link to the channel must redirect only to the youtuber's channel main page (it **shouldn't** redirect to one of their videos or to a specific channel section) (eg. https://www.youtube.com/user/github or https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8butISFwT-Wl7EV0hUK0BQ). Please **do not use any link shortener** and ensure that the link doesn't have any youtube parameter (eg. like the parameter that redirects the user to the subscribe button). - To get the avatar of the channel, go to the main channel's page, right-click the avatar and select "copy image adress". Use that link in the layout (please don't modify the image as any means. Also, don't change the width and/or height attributes on the `` tag). @@ -52,7 +53,7 @@ Example: [GitHub channel's avatar](https://www.youtube.com/user/github) [**GitHub**](https://www.youtube.com/user/github) [Badge for youtubers that upload videos weekly](badges.md#weekly-video-upload) \ -Content about: Open Source, security, app development \ +Content about: Open Source, Security, App development \ Featured playlists: `Open Source Friday`, `GitHub Satellite 2020 - Work`, `Public Roadmap`, `GitHub Artic Code Vault`.
