The Importance (and Pitfalls) of Tarantula YouTube Channels

I've had a lot of folks advising me lately on how to make my YouTube channel more "fun" and approachable to folks who may not already be in the hobby. Others get frustrated because I refuse to do any promotion for it. The fact is, I'm not in this to be a YouTube "famous"; my purpose is to educate. Although I certainly don't strive to be boring, my only real hope for my channel (or any of this stuff) is that people get good information. Now, does that mean that I have something against those channels that are meant to be more entertaining and fun? Absolutely not . Personally, I feel that there is a place for both types of channels, and each can serve an integral role in growing the hobby. In this episode, I discuss my thoughts on both the importance and potential issues with tarantula YouTube channels. Next week, we're back to specifically talking about tarantulas. Promise.
