Not all people love the change, like freshman Breeana Graham. Graham said, “I think his older videos, before the last two years, because he was more funny. He made more videos back then, and they were more about him. Now the videos are either about conspiracies or about other people instead of himself.”

Shane’s videos include some of his closest friends like Ryland Adams, Morgan Adams, Andrew Siwicki, and Garrett Watts. In Shane’s recent video series, released in August, he focused on capturing the life of makeup youtuber Jeffree Star. The series consisted of five parts in which Shane and Andrew uncovered what the life of Jeffree Star is like and all that entails. Graham watched and enjoyed the series. Graham said, “The series made me less scared of him because before he intimidated me. I learned about why he did what he did in his past. I really like how you saw the relationship between Shane and Jeffree.” During September and October, Shane, with the help of his camera man Andrew, delved deep with their series about the mind of Jake Paul.
