I can imagine many other Shane fans had the same reaction that I did when we found out who his new series was about. I had seen plenty of Jake Paul, and I wasn't wanting to see any more.
My immediate worry was that with this series, Shane was going down the same path as he had with other YouTubers where he used his platform to reveal their stories.
I was not interested in hearing Jake Paul make up excuses for his behavior and I didn't want these videos trying to make me feel bad for him.
But after viewing the first two parts, I realized that was not the case at all. Shane is completely aware of the potential consequences of his posting of this series, he says so in the first part of his video.
But he still chooses to pursue it anyway, because he's curious.
That's why I respect Shane and his content so much. He takes risks because he wants to really know the truth. He's not going after views, he knows he may even lose subscribers from having Jake in his videos.
He's genuinely curious as to what happened to Jake to make him act the way he does. So, he's doing everything he can to get to the bottom of it.
From being a Shane fan for the past few years, I know he is one of the most real and genuine YouTubers I've ever seen. He doesn't put on a fake personality like it's so easy to do on such a huge entertainment platform.
He is real, and he cares so much about helping others.
That's why I can't comprehend why so many people are getting mad at Shane for this. So many people are threatening to unsubscribe from his channel, or just voicing how upset they are at Shane for even doing this.
Nobody is interested in hearing Shane give Jake Paul a redemption arc.
But Shane isn't going for that. He's trying to get down to the bottom of why Jake is the way that he is and even begins to dive into sociopathic issues. Not even just with Jake himself, but also with YouTubers in general.
Therefore, it seems like it'll be a lot deeper and a lot more interesting than just hours of Jake explaining his reckless behavior. Shane genuinely has me interested with only 2 parts out and I can't wait to see where it goes from here.
Hopefully, others feel the same and stop giving Shane so much hate for this series.
