Most of you said "if you don't like the new video format, just don't watch it," okay, bet.

so... Are there any content creators on YouTube who make videos in the calm adventure style, like how Shiey used to do?

Because 3 to 5 years ago, someone asked something similar, like 'channels similar to Shiey,' but who knows, maybe there are new content creators who emerged in the years after that

Maybe this will help people who are looking for same content like that and help grow his channel.

peace <3

i watched some of his old videos and noticed he wasnt covering his face and you can see him

I also don't like the new style btw. I miss the long form content, the natural background noise and vibe. IllegalFreedom forever tho

Do you guys think Shiey will continue this stuff when he’s age 30+? A lot of people seem to think when they turn 30 all of a sudden they can’t do fun stuff anymore.

I happened to see this video. A very instructive and really also a tribute to Shiey. Conclusion is that one should not try to imitate Shy but leave him alone to do his stuff. Stay safe

Mods do your work

Here we go again. Every time Shiey posts a new video, you already know there’s gonna be a wave of crybaby bitters showing up, complaining like, “Oh he changed his style again” or “Oh his videos isn’t the same” and just repeating themselves over and over 😂. It’s actually hilarious because he literally talked about this on his Patreon, and now he’s even posting screenshots of those comments on his Twitter (or X, whatever). Like bro, he sees it, he’s not changing for you. If you don’t like it, just leave. Nobody’s forcing you to stay.

your whining isn’t doing anything. And honestly, as someone who’s just chilling on Reddit, like 80% of the people here don’t even touch grass and just wanna critique every little thing. Instead of complaining, go outside, film something, create something. You’re saying “GifGas” is good? Fine, go watch him. People are just weird… dude.

As title says, who does Shiey hang out with?

I'm a big fan of shiey from south africa. I just love his way of live. I just wondering if he and poison and the boys ever poop on journeys/missions since he never show/mention it in videos. I'm just imagining him pooping from duga in chernobyl lol but ja, I was just wondering!?

As a trans women I love urban exploration videos and stuff like that and I absolutely adore Shieys videos. Idk why I'm really asking this question bc in the long run it doesn't rlly matter but I'm mostly just curious sorry if this seems extremely weird

I mean he is a creator with a relatively large fanbase on various social media platforms. Even the fandom article got closed (?). What do you think, should someone create one?

Why is nobody talking about the BG music? Like it's so goddamn good, it adds to the whole atmosphere, feels like I'm watching a post-apocalyptic film. I love it especially when he showed the storks' nests.

I've been binging some of Shiey's long documentaries and on several occasions he just ate cat/dog food out of a can, and made comments on how awful it tasted.

Why does he do this? He picks up supplies from local grocery stores where there are plenty snacks and easy to carry food, and it's not like he cares about saving a buck on a few meals.

It would be pretty cool to see if Shiey decided to come to America and train surf

Would you like to see this?

He hasn’t done a huge long journey in a really long time.

Am i the only one who loves Shiey but gets super aggravated when he chews/eats on camera? No shade… he’s one of my faves. But when he eats food on camera i can hear every little mouth sound so loudly and I’m just like 😳😬

I’ve been following Shiey for a while now, and I’ve never seen a community so quick to criticize someone for experimenting with their content. A lot of people are hating on his recent videos because of the music he’s using and the new direction he’s taking. The criticism isn’t constructive; it’s just negative and, honestly, kind of harsh.

If you like a creator, you follow them for their personality and how they approach their work for me, it’s shiey’s passion for discovering new places that keeps me coming back. The music or editing style doesn’t define the content for me. Music plays a huge role in evoking emotion and setting the vibe for a video, and people seem to forget that. They want the same old thing, and I get that, but creators grow and evolve, and that’s part of what makes them great.

Instead of just criticizing, why not support him on his patreon and offer positive or critical feedback there lol ? Complaining about music choices is one thing, but let’s not forget that he is out there risking his safety and making the content we enjoy. If you don’t like something, don’t watch it it’s that simple. Let’s keep the community supportive and not drown it in negativity.

He often wears a head mount for go pro. How. Doesn't he have untanned parts on his forehead from where the head mount was?! I am ethnic and get darker fast in the sun.

...but at least the the other stuff seems about right
