Dolan Twins reveal plans to totally change their YouTube content YouTube: impaulsive clipsDuring their appearance on the imPaulsive podcast, YouTube stars the Dolan Twins have explained why they want to move away from their old content that makes them feel \u201ctrapped\u201d in their past selves, and onto more candid content. The twins Ethan and Grayson originally rose to popularity on the video app Vine in 2013, and have since gone on to produce content on their highly successful YouTube channel with over 11 million subscribers. While they have many adoring fans, they haven\u2019t been exempt from drama, as earlier in July they were forced to address a homophobic slur used when explaining the bullying they received in high school. Drama aside, they still have a very large, and very active subscriber base, so what is driving them away from the content that made them so popular in the first place? When asked what they like about doing the medium of their new podcast, Deeper with the Dolan Twins, Grayson said: \u201cit\u2019s just an open conversation, like I have so much sh*t on my mind that I wish I could say on YouTube, but YouTube is just not the place.\u201d While they say that they are \u201ctrying to make YouTube the place\u201d for those kinds of videos, they describe the site as having \u201cpremium entertainment\u201d and that they have to make the decision to either \u201cretire or reinvent.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019ve been like at a point where we just have been really confused as to what to do with the content,\u201d Ethan says. \u201cI feel like I\u2019ve been kind of trapped in my 17-year-old body as soon as the f**king camera turns on, because I\u2019m like, \u2018this is what my audience likes.\u201d \u201cWe just tried to film a video and it completely failed just because I was like \u2018I don\u2019t feel like myself when the camera\u2019s on,\u201d he continued. \u201cIt\u2019s hard to find the balance between what you wanna film and what they wanna see.\u201d He says that \u201cwe haven\u2019t really been living our lives as like, dudes,\u201d and have been editing their daily schedule to do things that will appeal to their audience base and keep their numbers up. While not a guarantee that they will move on from YouTube altogether, it certainly is an indication that their content will begin a shift into being more open and for a wider audience, in order to allow the twins to break away from their restrictive online personas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
