Videos don't get enough love on /r/mylittlepony. I intend to fix that with the introduction of /r/MLPvids. Please check it out!

Upon first discovering the My Little Pony community, I remember browsing through Youtube for the latest fan created videos. Whether I was watching a PMV, a trailer mock-up, a silly YTP movie, or just a one-off fan creation, I recall feeling that these mashups and fanworks were a tremendous aspect of the community. Many of these videos played a role in turning me into a brony, and they increased my familiarity with the fandom as a whole. Overall, I found these videos to be a essential part of experiencing the fandom, even moreso than fanart.

Unfortunately, in recent days r/mylittlepony seems to suffer from a distinct lack of high profile video content. Because more easily digestible content is more readily available, it’s easy to see why videos are often overlooked. However, because these fanworks are truly cool and require much effort to produce, I feel that it’s a shame that videos get passed by.

As such, I’ve decided to launch a new project with the intention of putting the focus on awesome and creative MLP video content: r/MLPvids. This subreddit will serve as a focal point for all things pony on Youtube, where users can share and discuss any aspect of pony video content they wish. The subreddit will be very similar to the way that r/mlptunes is run, in that it will not replace the main subreddit, but will instead complement it.

While I am aware that other subreddits have been created for this purpose already, active users and content on those subreddits remain low. It is my hope that, with the help of all of you, we can once again energize interest in pony videos, share awesome video content, and inspire many new creative works. We have created a tagging system to better organize these videos, and I intend to work hard to promote and push this subreddit. This is not a project I will just leave out by the wayside, it's something I care deeply about. I've also got the rest of the modteam on board. I'd really love to do with videos what r/mlptunes did for pony music.

In the coming days, I plan to post many of my old favorite videos from a variety of genres. I encourage you all to stop by and check it out, participate, contribute, and have a good time! Together, we can share some laughs and build a nice collection of pony videos.

Thanks for checking it out! Please, if you upvote only one post of mine ever for visability, let it be this one.
