Cons
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.
Con Sometimes physically inaccurate
Not all of his techniques are physically accurate, even when he makes a point of the importance of physical accuracy. This is especially true with scale. 1 BU = 1m
Con Very expensive
Full courses are very expensive, especially considering most of the topics can be found for free on YouTube.
Con 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.
Con Some content behind a Patreon paywall
Some of Bryan Lunduke's videos are exclusive, and can only be accessed through Patreon.
