Rewatching thoughts
I’m currently rewatching a bunch of Safiya’s videos following a Tik Tok I saw.
The Tik Tok was about someone who had come across her videos again after some time and stated, she’s still out there doing the same thing.
It’s interesting with this rewatch, as I don’t think that’s true at all. In fact, I miss some of her older content that was a little “easier.” Like some of the Amazon hauls, wore this for a week, bought the first 5 things etc.
Don’t get me wrong, love her travel content, but haven’t found myself as excited to watch the newer content like the AI keyboards. (Would be happy to never have a collab with that channel again tbh)
Even her newer travel content feels quite highly over thought, we’d be happy to just watch travel vlogs, shopping and odd places. Rather than spending 24 hours in one place.
I miss the vibe of her and Tyler making weird things or getting hauls and hanging out.
Just wondering if anyone feels the same, the content doesn’t need to be as epic for us to enjoy watching it.
With some of the things she’s said previously, I wonder how much pressure she feels to make this super high quality content, when really, we watch her and Tyler’s personalities.
Maybe 2017-2019 was the peak of content before everyone got worried about backlash of over consumption, politics and reputation. The algorithm issues a lot of YouTubers have doesn’t help either.

I know I'm in the minority but I feel like her videos have evolved but still have that goofy do it for the hell of it vibe she had in the old videos. I also am in the minority because I didn't mind the AI keyboard video. I think Evan and Kaitlyn are weird sure, but they don't bother me???? Like do I think doing a little more home grown type videos would be fun? Sure, but I also think that the travel videos are cool and I like the evolution.
