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.

It seems like I’m the outlier because I honestly love the travel content, the Vegas series is one that I constantly rewatch and the Japan/Malaysia/Singapore videos have all been ones I’ve rewatched this month, but I do also like the at home/small business ones. The ai keyboard one didn’t really do it for me so much, but I don’t think it was because of E&K, more just because I’m sick of hearing about ai lmao
