November is a time for giving thanks. You give thanks for the ones you love and thanks for the great things in your life.

We thought this would be the perfect time to give thanks to one of our favorite social platforms: YouTube! Without further delay, here are the top five reasons we are thankful for YouTube.

We learn about all the latest makeup trends

From contouring, to strobing, to baking, to achieving the perfect highlight — if you want to master a makeup trend, the best place to learn or share your expertise is YouTube. We shudder to think about what our eyebrows would look like without YouTube tutorials!

You get to know some really cool and creative people

We’re thankful to YouTube because the creators make the platform amazing. Where else can you find thousands of incredibly talented people all sharing, learning and growing in one place? YouTube is unique because it brings out the best of people’s creativity.

You can be an editing nerd, and no one will judge you for it.

You are finally surrounded by people who understand the importance of a Diva Light, good transitions, and the perfect intro. #Finally.

Two Words: Story Time

We are incredibly thankful for YouTube Story Time videos. They have revolutionized the way we consume videos on YouTube and they help us see the personality behind our favorite YouTube stars. We love that creators have the courage to open up to their subscribers and share their stories.

YouTube is totally hilarious

We love beautifully edited makeup tutorials and moving Story Time videos, but we must admit that we love a good viral video. Some of the best laughs we get come from YouTube videos!
