It would seem that Shane Dawson‘s YouTube views post cancellation have really been in the toilet. For someone with 19M in subscribers he is only getting around 20-25 comments per video. Shane used to get hundreds of comments, and it would seem that his podcast gets even less.
Now it’s true that right now YouTube is going through a bit of a slump because it would seem that people are favoring short form TikTok-like content right now, but everything has its season and we’re sure that something will come along sooner or later to boost YouTube view counts again, right now the trend is short form content it would seem.
What is going on with Shane Dawson’s viewership?
Shane has gotten some constructive criticism on his podcast as well, his most recent episode was a podcast version of the conspiracy theory videos he used to make on his channel. People were saying how they actually preferred the older style format where it was just Shane and not Shane and whomever was co-hosting with him for that episode.
There is something to be said for the older style videos, they seem more focused and streamlined whereas the podcast, it’s fun but doesn’t really lend itself to videos such as conspiracy theories where there is more of a story to be told. It’s funny because storytime podcasts are actually great and totally lend themselves to the format, but conspiracy theory videos not so much.
It’s still strange that Shane Dawson’s view count would be so low, being one of the OG YouTubers however. In the past though, there has been instances of certain comments being deleted or censored, especially post cancellation. Sometimes comments would be there one minute, then gone the next, almost as if they were being curated by someone on the other side.
We don’t know who would sanction such a move, whether it was Shane or Ryland (because Ryland seemed to have a case of the amazing disappearing comments as well) but we do know that in the early days of the cancellation it happened. Is that the reason his comments are so low? We’ll seem stay tuned!!!
