Extremely likeable and articulate host
Destin makes the videos for himself above all, inviting the viewer to join him in his own personal quest for greater understanding. Few things are more enjoyable than bearing witness to a labor of love.

Concise episodes that respect the viewer's intelligence
Each video is edited to perfection, maintaining a brisk narrative pace without sacrificing the key breakthrough pieces of knowledge that connect each piece to the next. At the end you want to build on what you've learned and research further while waiting for the next installment.

Unique topics covered in valuable ways

Written by experienced & well known Blender artist
Andrew Price, the author behind Blender guru, has been using Blender since 2004. He started Blender Guru in 2009, and now works with Blender3D as his day job as well. His work/tutorials are very well know.

Con
Very specific solutions
If you want to learn to solve very specific problems in specific ways, BlenderGuru's tutorials are great. If what you want is to know how to do certain things in general (make materials, sculpt, etc.), and make yourself a solid 3D hobbyist or professional, then you should look for a more generalized resource.

Open source
Due to freeCodeCamp being open source, you are able to contribute to the program that helped teach you how to code in the first place. It's a great way to give back and gain experience.

Con
Learning material is not in-depth
The teaching content provided by freeCodeCamp tends to act more as an introduction than a solid learning resource. Unless you already have some prior experience, you won't have enough knowledge to get through the coding challenges and development projects without using outside learning resources to fill in the gaps.

Massive time waste
Content mainly focuses on trivial concepts and is very sparse in those few areas that inch beyond 'complete beginner'.

Browser-based
All courses used by freeCodeCamp are done in the browser, rather than students having to set up their own environment. This makes it much easier for beginners to get started.

Con
Is an email list generator
Early focus isn't on programming. It is on signing up for all of FreeCodeCamp's social media and getting looped into their newsletters. The content is trivial. It is all just a massive marketing scheme to get email addresses of aspiring programmers to affiliate sell to by pushing novice developers to blog posts containing affiliate links. That is until they sell to a 3rd party. Read their disclaimer. Whoever buys them out gets all their user data, email lists, etc.

Welcoming, active community
freeCodeCamp strongly encourages interacting with other learners and experienced programmers. They provide chatrooms which are always active and full of members happy to answer any questions you may have. Pair programming (programming with another user) is encouraged as a great way to work through some of their coding challenges. There are also meetup groups where you can code in person with other freeCodeCamp students.

Lies
Likes to make claims that hurt the credibility of other creators. The most common example is JB not actually being a Linux user. While there may be some truth behind it since old videos used to be edited on a Mac. It is clear that their are a majority of members that exclusively run Linux.

Anyone using Distrotube as a legit source is delusional
The guy just isn’t well informed or smart about anything. And he has randomly dissed enough people in the community that no one really likes him. Even the super friendly gang at BDLL and laid back guys like English Bob actually DESPISE Distrotube, because he will just randomly criticize people out of nowhere. Also, the dude gives off a weird vibe. Like a restrained anger of some sort. Hard to put into words, but it wouldnt surprise me if Derek made the news for some crazy action.

Publishes content about new, lesser-known, and alternative software, including usage and configuration
DistroTube is a great place to go to discover interesting and useful pieces of software or to discover alternatives to software you already have. Beginners to GNU/Linux will appreciate the in-depth videos on how to use and configure different pieces of software.

Con
Doubles down on terrible takes in a variety of areas, oddly self-referential
One of the worst Linux resources out there. He basically comes up with a simple opinion on something, phrases it at an 8th grade reading level, and repeats it over and over until the video ends. His takes on topics range from uninformed at best, to horrifyingly wrong at worst. He also posts very strange self-focused videos, like playing trombones, himself at the gym, talking about craft beers, as if we are supposed to value him as a friend instead of a Linux resource. He also joins a lot of Youtubers in the "a lot of you have been asking me" Club. When a Youtuber says that, you know exactly ZERO people have been asking them, and they just want to talk. Also, he either started or continued the tradition of filling every corner of the screen with kitchy Linux stuff like Matrix screen savers and branded mugs. He apparently even loves his audio mixer so much that he mounted that behind him so we always see it. A three monitor workstation with 2-3 camera mounts? For a Linux Youtube channel? That's sort of like delivering pizzas in an Imperial Star Destroyer.
