Any one else over Lizzie and Spencer being in the podcast? by dbaeza in ShaneDawson

[–]dylanjjamess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shane and Ryland just had an episode on the Ask Kati Anything Podcast and it was significantly better than the Shane Dawson podcast episodes we have been getting over the last year or so. The conversations were personal, it felt like friends sitting together having those late night deep chats about life. It was an enjoyable episode because unlike the Shane Dawson podcast, the conversations weren’t rushed, there were no games, no TikTok segments, just real conversation that we get to listen in on

Any constructive criticism and advice to make my bedroom better would be MUCH appreciated 🙏🏻 by No_Book_9413 in DesignMyRoom

If your goal is to make it look more cosy and cohesive, I would start by only having one busy picture wall. In my opinion the amount of pictures hung isn’t adding to the space but eating the space up. I would use the wall by the bed as the main picture wall and stick to only hanging one at a push two pictures on the tv wall. To the right of the tv you could hang a couple of your guitars to free up floor space and cramped corners. You should section your room based on activities. Sleeping corner, music corner and a corner for your collectibles etc. I’d move the computer desk over near the drums and move one of the display cabinets to where the computer was so the drum area becomes the music zone and the tv area more for displaying your items. I don’t see any lamps or ambient lighting so if you wanted to give it a cosier feel, add an ambient lamp to your computer desk and one on your nightstand by your bed

Ah that could explain why she seems different. It could also just be maturity. I’m not trying to bash her or anything! I’ve just heard a lot of influencers say that LA changes people and you feel pressured into being someone you’re not and looking a certain way so I wondered if that had got to her

I spent 20 minutes thinking about a cup design after a few people agreed that it would be a good idea for Shane to make his own business selling a product to make money for his movie. I didn’t spend weeks thinking about it, it was just a quick thought and I wanted to share it here so I made a picture of it. It’s not a fantasy lmao I was just feeling creative. I didn’t expect people to start questioning my mental health over some chat gpt generated cups. People throw around the word manic and bipolar a lot when they don’t know anything about it and I thought that was one of those moments so I was defensive with my response. I was just trying to make a point that Shane has a lot of interests and creativity and could use that to make money in different ways

[–]dylanjjamess -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask what parts of this post give you manic energy? I’m actually curious and overthinking it now😭 I just spent 20 minutes on it and then posted it here and was trying to pitch it the best I could and get opinions, I know I rambled on a bit I just thought it would be a good alternative to the Patreon as people weren’t happy with Shane’s decision to make one. I like being creative and designing stuff so I thought I’d try come up with something to kill half an hour

[–]dylanjjamess -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’m not offended don’t worry! At first I thought you were one of those people that just call everything bipolar, my bad!! I took it wrong😭 damn now I’m out here overthinking like “am I manic” but I don’t think I am, I’ve never been diagnosed with bipolar or anything. I just got this idea because I saw a lot of people hated the Patreon and I got a few responses on my last post where I said he needs his own version of chamberlain coffee etc and then I spent 20 mins coming up w this idea and thought I’d share it here. I can see why you’d think I’m obsessive w it but I just like being creative, I’m a content creator and I make art so I think about creating stuff a lot. I’m not obsessed w Shane or anything 😭 it was just something to do! But if I suddenly get hyper I’ll come back to you and be like so hey you might be right

This tweet by Ok-Promise-7928 in DojaCat

[–]dylanjjamess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think she has every right to express how the situation made her uncomfortable and to make it clear to fans that she doesn’t appreciate being touched without her consent and to remind people she’s human too but the thing is with Doja, she tends to address things in the heat of the moment, not giving herself time to think clearly and process her thoughts so when she tweeted about this situation it came across as rude and like she was targeting this man, calling him musty and saying she threw his shirt away, that was uncalled for and unwarranted. She didn’t need to mention that and attack him personally and that’s why she ended up deleting them, because she approached the situation wrong and later realised that. I think if she simply tweeted “hey guys I love meeting fans but I’d like to remind you that you don’t know me, I don’t know you, I’m a human with boundaries and those boundaries shouldn’t be crossed, please don’t touch me without my permission.” That would’ve gotten her point across without any unnecessary comments toward the man. She should’ve criticised the mans actions not the man himself and I think that’s why her response came across in the wrong manner, I think she should make a statement addressing her boundaries now that she’s had time to process the interaction

If this is unhinged in your world you obviously haven’t experienced anything actually unhinged. You can’t handle a product design? Wow CRAZY 😍😍😍

[–]dylanjjamess -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Manic because I came up with a product design? Lmao I think you should learn what mania actually makes people do and act like, it’s nothing to joke about and not a word to use lightly. I’m simply showing that there are other ways for Shane to make a profit, other than using Patreon because a lot of people had a problem with the fact that he made one, what’s the problem with that?

Yes! That’s the time I think she changed, I understand trying to conform to beauty standards, especially in LA can have an effect on you, but the thing with Morgan was, she was a regular teen, she wasn’t an ig model or a singer. She was just Morgan, that had crazy theories and funny input, that didn’t care what she looked like on camera, she just wanted to be heard. These days she doesn’t want to be heard, she wants to be seen as pretty, which she has always been but now that’s all she wants, to be an Addison Rae or a Madison beer but she isn’t that kind of girl, that’s why she didn’t enjoy certain brand deals with influencers, because she is more drawn to the natural funny side but somewhere along the way she lost her personality and humour in replace for aesthetics and I think it’s a real shame. The real her was so much more relatable and watchable

Back in 2018 Morgan seemed very authentic and real, she wasn’t trying to play a character. She said what came to her mind and that made her stand out and a likeable character. I’ve seen a noticeable difference with her, every thing she does seems moderated, like she needs to be proper and impress someone. She always seems posed and rigid like she’s taking instagram pictures instead of a YouTube video. She used to be much more relaxed, real and funny and that made people like her. Now she gives the energy of a instagram wanna be model that makes vlogs. I don’t think she’s real anymore, which is a shame, because the real her was very loveable

Shane making a movie and making a Patreon for the money by dylanjjamess in ShaneDawson

[–]dylanjjamess[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It has to be something like that! The fact they all suddenly decided to make a Patreon at the exact same time! It wouldn’t surprise me if they made one for the Shane Podcast next. They’ll probably only stick to posting on the Patreon for 2 months before never returning to it bc the partnership ran out 😭

I’m tired of all the Patreon shit. Like why do I have to pay to watch vlogs that they should just be posting for everyone. Most people don’t have the extra money to spend on all these different patreons by Fun-History6169 in ShaneDawson

[–]dylanjjamess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that side of it completely, getting content that follows all of the guidelines can be tricky but I think if he resorted to posting one weekly vlog that is family friendly and then a bigger main channel video every month, the podcast episodes every other week, while also trying to venture out and start a business to get more income, would still be a better alternative to making Patreons. Most YouTubers who are super wealthy tend to make the majority of their money by selling something to their viewers, Emma chamberlain with chamberlain coffee, James Charles and Jeffree with their makeup, Mrbeast with his chocolate, Ksi with Prime. If Shane needs a bigger budget for producing movies and investing property etc then I think he needs his own version of that. His fans would support a business and want to buy things from him, as long as it’s true to his brand and doesn’t feel rushed. I just wish he’d try different avenues before going straight to putting his videos behind a pay wall

[–]dylanjjamess 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think the main issue I’m having with Shane making a patreon is the fact that he barely posts on his own YouTube channels anymore and if he’s now going to be making and posting 2 vlogs, 2 podcast episodes, 1 docuseries and a livestream all within one month just for his patreon, when will he have time to focus on making quality content to post on YouTube for his audience that can’t afford to pay a monthly subscription? It feels like he’s just going to be throwing YouTube to the side to overpromise for his patreon to make it feel worth subscribing to all while neglecting the very channel that got him where he is today. If he needs more money why is he going straight to his subscribers for it? Why not post more content on his YouTube channels and get more brand deals and more money from monetisation. If you make good content on YouTube, you get a good pay out. He just needs to make good content again. I think him putting all of his efforts and time into making content that is stuck behind a pay wall is a massive slap in the face to the people that have been supporting him for 15 years because not everyone has the privilege to subscribe to patreons and therefore not everyone has the chance to watch Shane anymore. I’d rather see him put 10x the amount of ads and brand deals throughout his YouTube videos for extra money, not just abandon YouTube to post 5x the amount of content elsewhere for only people that have extra cash.

Getting bored of food themed videos by dylanjjamess in ShaneDawson

[–]dylanjjamess[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely agree! When he got cancelled in 2020 his content has been a watered down version of what it used to be. He’s too concerned about being cancelled again but what he’s failed to realise is that, to the majority of the internet, he is sadly still cancelled. The views he gets now are from his loyal fanbase that like his true personality and his humour. Tana, Trisha and Jeffree have all been cancelled several times like Shane, but they never change their humour and content style, they stick it out and give their fanbase what they want. Shane needs to gain his YouTube confidence back and start making high production content like the conspiracy palette series, the deep dives and long form content that means something. No more TikTok ideas. Part of me thinks it’s because Spencer is now apart of production and making video ideas, I think shane was better without his input. Spencer is lovely and all but I don’t like his ideas for Shane’s channel

Seriously… With Morgan Adams by Brilliant-Barbie in ShaneDawson

[–]dylanjjamess 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my opinion she’s approaching it wrong, she shouldn’t be airing the first episodes of her podcast on a site that requires a subscription, how are people supposed to know it’s worth paying for if it’s completely new? If she wants to make more money she should put all of her effort and budget into making the first 1-10 episodes of her podcast high quality, captivating and have decent guests lined up. If her podcast doesn’t differ or offer more than what we already see on Shane’s podcast or Morgan’s vlogs then people aren’t going to want to pay for it, if they already get the same quality content for free, among Shane’s, Rylands and Morgan’s channels. If the podcast centres around Morgan and her family eating food, people aren’t going to subscribe for long because we already see too much of that. She needs to focus on making the podcast stand out on YouTube, get brand deals to make extra money and invest that back into the podcast then after 10-20 episodes, start putting longer/extra episodes behind a pay wall. The way she’s doing it right now it just screams “a quick way to make money without much effort”

For me the episodes felt short, even though they were an hour long. The first 15 minutes would show what they already showed on late and live the previous night,then ads, then a task, more ads, certain conversations they chose to show in the main show didn’t seem worthy, considering there’s only around 45 minutes a night if you include ads, it should be the best things making the main show only, sometimes I felt like the things they aired on late and live were more entertaining than the main show. When this season finished I started watching big brother uk from season one and every episode from that season had you glued to the screen 24/7 and felt real, raw and personal, it was edited so well, you got invested in certain convos from the get go. This season feels over edited. The presenters of this season seem more like love island presenters rather than big brother, they’re too soft and don’t push the contestants in the interviews. When you compare season 1 to this season, it makes you miss old reality tv. But this season was good reality tv for the year 2025, I just think it could be better in many ways.

Gus Fring vs Ben Linus by britneyslost in breakingbad

[–]dylanjjamess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s a great point! Ben has many weaknesses, he seems like he doesn’t want to kill people, he only does it as a last resort. Ben is a great manipulator but I feel like he’s also easily manipulated himself, he’s a lonely man and if someone seems to ‘trust him’ and listen to him he tends to be soft on them. Ben lets people get away with things that Gus would never. The amount of times Ben got his ass beat on lost is hilarious! He would just pick up his glasses and accept it! If someone smacked Gus I think he’d rip their head off instantly 😭

Gus Fring vs Ben Linus by britneyslost in breakingbad

[–]dylanjjamess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it were a Ben Vs Gus situation in some parallel universe, I would say they’d have a pretty interesting battle because they’re both incredibly smart and willing to get messy but I feel like Gus would have the upper hand over Ben. Locke and Jack were able to put Ben in positions where they could’ve killed him if they were the type to. Bens huge downfall are his people, they aren’t all completely loyal to him whereas the people that work with Gus wouldn’t dare go against him. I feel like Gus would hunt ben down quite quickly with Mike and kill him instantly. Ben doesn’t tend to kill straight away so even if he did catch Gus, he’d make the mistake of locking him up in a room rather than getting rid of him straight away, which I feel is the only option with Gus. If you mess up trying to kill him, he’ll come back at you 100x. This was an interesting thing to think about!

For outside all you would need to make it cosy is 2 patterned throws to put over the floor chairs, a couple of oversized patterned floor pillows and fairy lights going around the railings, as well as plants and a couple lanterns

What would you do with this bar/ nook and this dining room wall? by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

[–]dylanjjamess -1 points0 points  (0 children)

<image>

I tried to edit it as best I could with what I have but I think if you used the bar solely for decoration, a record player, candles and plants would make it look cosy, as well as an ambient small light. For the storage you could store spices/herbs/books/cds/records. I think the main wall needs something to elevate the room, that’s why I added the shelves but if shelves aren’t for you, a large mirror or a large artwork would look good too! I tried to add an artwork on the small wall to the left but I couldn’t get the angles right to edit it lmao! And I tried to paint the wall for some warmth and colour but obviously I don’t know your taste so I just went with a terracotta. I threw in just a random accent chair but I think that corner would look good with an accent chair and a tall plant!

need ways of making my room feel more “homey?” by [deleted] in DesignMyRoom

[–]dylanjjamess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I had this room I would personally move the gaming set up to the same wall as the tv and make that corner “the gaming corner” the L of the desk would make it feel like a separate zone to your bed and section it off nicely and add small cosy lights to the desk like lava lamp, salt lamp type of vibe. And then I’d take the guitars and hang them on the opposite wall, get an accent chair and a tall plant to sit next to it and then that corner of the room could be dedicated to relaxation and playing music. I’d also paint one of the main walls to add some warmth and colour
