*WARNING: SPOILER ALERTS AHEAD*
I am subscribed to Shane Dawson who has been on YouTube since 2009. He has gone thrown many phases ranging from skits, to vlogging, and now conspiracy theories. This has been a series before his YouTube channel but they have never been an hour an a half long and this engaging with the audience.
He dives into multiple conspiracy theories in these TWO PART videos ranging from theories about technology to issues with Chuck E. Cheese

Investigating Conspiracies with Shane Dawson Part Two: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNuKpwX6Tz4
Here are some of the topics he discusses
- iPhone’s listening all the time
- How does Siri know when you say “Hey Siri”, aren’t they just listening for the keywords– but how do they know they are said…
- iPhone’s glitch where people can hear you up to 3 seconds before you answer the phone
- Imagine getting a call from someone and saying ‘UGH I don’t want to talk to them” and then picking up the phone and the person on the other end hears that (yeah I know everyone has done that- RIP some relationships), well that’s what’s happening right now…
- Deep Fakes
- mapping someone else’s face onto yours and creating fake situations.
- The Woosley and Camp Fires in California
- How did they start, were they a government distraction, did someone start it for insurance money, use of lasers by the government?
- Chuck E. Cheese and their pizza
- Are they really fresh…
- Online Dating Scams relating to Brittani Taylor
- What if the guy you found online and married and had a child with had some alternative motive involved trafficking.
Some of the topics he only discusses, while for some of the topics, he goes and investigates them.
He investigated the idea of the Deep Fake and you can make a digital version of your voice ONLINE and use it to create scenarios that never actually happened in reality…
My personal favorite is the conspiracy about Chuck E. Cheese’s pizza and the idea that they do not make their pizza FRESH, but they actually reuse slices from other pizzas that are NOT finished by other customers. To me, this conspiracy is not a conspiracy, but an actual TRUTH and FACT.
Here are the pictures he provided for reference:

However, Chuck E. Cheese has denied all these claims…
This series on his channel is so enjoyable to watch because he is very invested in the stories of all the people he talks to and everything he researches. He makes sure that what the viewers and subscribers will see will be authentic and true. Also, the videos have a subtle horror factor to them, they keep you on the edge of your seat. I have never sat through an hour and a half of anything without being distracted (except in a movie theater WHERE YOU SHOULD NEVER USE YOUR PHONE OR TALK) and I sat through this. It is also enjoyable because no one on YouTube does things like this, and if they do they never have this caliber of quality. He has done many series investigating peoples lives, such as Inside the Mind of Jake Paul (8 part series) and The Secret World of Jeffree Star (5 part series). These series are very interesting for people who want to know the truth about some of the most controversial stars on the internet. Also, it is interesting to see who they are and how the media changes the way they are viewed, for VIEWS. Honestly its all about the views.
Cool

Gross! Never going to Chuck E. Cheeses! Had a birthday party there as a little kid . . . .
I’d heard of Shane Dawson and I don’t even watch YouTubers! He seems to be pretty influential. You make a good point too: there is a certain line between conspiracy and fact. All of these things make me question decisions I make with technology and honestly make me suspicious of certain companies/businesses.
Thanks for the insight!
