I was intrigued about this article because a few years ago I always enjoyed watching Shane's video blogs and skits. I haven't looked at his work in a long time so I was curious to see what he was up to. It's so nice to hear that he's still expanding and has reached over 10 million subscribers! That's HUGE! I'm not the biggest fan of Shane, but I really enjoy his views on life and how he overcame obstacles in his childhood. I feel as though I can relate because I also had a weight issue and was shy about expressing myself and my opinions about life. But I overcame my fear and now I'm expressing myself in ways I couldn't even imagine. I hope Shane continues to make Youtube video because he's not just a silly enjoyment, he's a huge influence.
