In 2008, Shane Dawson began his YouTube channel, ShaneDawsonTV. We all probably remember the outrageous wacky videos with him dressed as a popular female character, Shanaynay. Over a decade ago, Shane was uploading videos that he even admits to looking back on and just cringing to no belief. Those videos were downright ridiculous. But we watched these videos religiously and shared them with our friends.

This time period is what millennials would consider, the good ol’ days; or, the original YouTube days. Over a decade ago we would spend hours watching Shane, Ryan Higa (nigahiga), and Jenna Marbles (jennamarbles). Although all three of these channels are still uploading videos today, you definitely should get back to Shane Dawson’s YouTube channel.

Shane has come such a long way in the past ten years. Shane is no longer posting weird, crazy videos with random characters, but instead uploads about his life a few days every week. He vlogs about his day to day life with his friends, along with the fun journeys that they embark upon.

Aside from documenting his everyday life, Shane creates new video series every week. These series include conspiracy videos, collaborating with other YouTubers, discussing past drama with his family, and helping smaller YouTube channels become bigger, to allow the creator to grow and live out their dreams.

In 2015, Shane came out as bisexual and today he is in an amazing relationship with his partner, Ryland Adams. Ryland and Shane live together in Los Angeles with their two adorable pets, Cheeto and Uno. Shane and Ryland truly have two of the best personalities on the internet, and they work together like magic. They're genuinely funny and make content that is so entertaining to watch.

Shane turns thirty years old this year and in my opinion, he's such a different person than he was a decade ago. I think with spending so much of your life online, you learn a lot about yourself. Not only do you grow as a person, but you grow as the role model that you want others to see you as. Shane's content also grows as he gets older. Within the past few years, his content has become more strong with every passing upload.

Shane genuinely cares about the content he creates and works hard to make sure his 12 million (and counting) subscribers enjoy the videos that he creates. Shane cares about others, sees the best in people, and helps everyone that he can live out their dreams.
