This star stated that he believes being canceled benefited him, declaring that the time spent unplugged enabled him to do more personal development. "I think part of me was upset because I was like, I've grown so much, and now I'm being canceled because of things from the past, and that's not me anymore," Shane recalled.

Dawson also mentioned that he "can't concentrate on what other people think of me."

Shane Dawson had a successful YouTube career in the past. He began making videos when he was 19 years old in 2008 and had over 500 million views just two years later.
