I've never used Pluralsight, does anyone have any CS related recommendations? Does Pluralsight vet their content? Or is it a YouTube style free for all?
This is my experience for their web content, nothing too in-depth really.
I've done some really good course on pluralsight (we had some form of enterprise license for a year), but other courses I've had to give up because of the grating accent of the person giving the course
Thick Indian accents? There are some fantastic programming tutorials on YouTube but unfortuantly the thick Indian accent makes them all most unwatchable.

Their .Net content, Angular content and Android content is of a very high quality. I wasn't so impressed with the Java content - but that might be more down to the subject matter. I'd probably have hated anything covering Webforms or WCF or other such monsters ;)
They started as C# shop, basically teaching just C#, so that's gonna be their strongest game. But, they are really great at Java and JavaScript, Frontend, and recently DevOps.
I feel like the quality of their courses goes in the order I wrote above. DevOps courses are fine (though you'll be better served at LinuxAcademy, most likely). Java courses are excellent.
Pluralsight offering a free month is amazing. Most of their content is very high quality.

It doesn't really cover CS; you're better with Coursera for that. Their .Net content, Angular content and Android content is of a very high quality.

There is some of their content that is older. I worked with one of the original pluralsight authors they do require an audition and have a vetting process so it isn't just any random yahoo off the street who figured out OBS, generally the trainers are pretty knowledgeable.
One criticism I do have is that some of their content is a little bit stale, just keeping up videos and courses about how to program in Android from over 5+ years ago, or other tech that has changed rapidly.
I do love however how they create groupings of courses into "Tracks" that are intended to help go from basic understanding to conversational competence for an entire sector of IT, such as IS, Ops, Development, Cloud, etc.

Yes, they vet the content. Authors themselves are vetted before becoming accepted and all content is reviewed for accuracy and quality.
For CS, we have a ton of great content. One of my favorites in that category is Algorithms and Data Structures Part 1/2. It's very thorough and easy to understand. There are also some CS courses that are geared towards specific languages like C++, F#, Python etc.
