Shane Dawson's 8 Part Series About Jake Paul Deserves A Chance

Just because you don't like Jake Paul, don't automatically assume what it is going to be about

So, if you have been living under a rock for the past ten years, let me fill you in. Shane Dawson is one of YouTube's Biggest, and oldest content creators. He has been a YouTube presence since around 2008, and a good majority of people my age grew up watching his many earlier videos. He's well known for his many different "characters", his Vlogs, and his music.

Lately, he's been doing these series where he tries to get behind or really understand some of YouTube's most controversial creators. He's done a series about Jeffrey Star who is one of YouTube's most well-known beauty gurus and one about the most failed attempt at getting back at Vidcon, Tanacon. Both series explore what really went on or what is going on behind the scenes of the videos, and news reports. So, Shane has become more of a journalist/detective type channel over the years.

I personally have always loved Shane's Content, and I was a bit reluctant when he came out saying that his next eight-part series was going to be about one of the most talked about YouTubers who most ten-year old's idolize, Jake Paul.

He has had a ton of backlash where people are saying that they refuse to watch the series because of Jake being in it, and at the beginning of the video Shane shows a clip of a voicemail Jake left him basically saying that it was going to get rough because of how many people genuinely dislike him (Jake). I myself am no Jake Paul fan, but I am excited to see how Shane gets his point across and how this series is really going to end.

I have been waiting to watch the first part for what feels like forever and when I watched it, it ended up making me want more. The interview Shane has with a YouTuber who goes by the YouTube handle of iNabber, goes into some basic questions that Shane really wants to get some answers on, and just get the "why" out of why Jake does what he does. Shane ends up even asking himself if Jake is doing the whole thing just for views. So, unlike the other series, Shane isn't going in this trying to give Jake the benefit of the doubt.

Granted Jake wouldn't be okay with this series if he didn't want this to air, so at least both parties are understanding of each other, but it still isn't going to be painting Jake Paul as a saint like everyone thinks Shane will do. It's obvious by the first episode that Shane is genuinely curious and even nervous to get to do this whole series.

Also, you can tell by the way the trailer and first episode really speak for themselves, and a big portion of it is because his editor and cameraman, Andrew, is super good at editing everything together to make things work. Regardless, Shane is going to be bringing a masterpiece of a series and it will be what he refers to as a "Roller-coaster". So, I guess let's buckle up, sit back and enjoy.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
