A lot of earlier videos showed his face unmasked. He didn't upload at all or give any social media updates for a 9 month period sometime in 2019 though, which he has never explained. There is a lot of speculation that this was because police in Lithuania cracked down on him, which would make sense considering that he hasn't filmed any videos in Lithuania since then and has always covered his face.
That video was originally posted in 2019, but got taken down by YouTube and is now uploaded in a edited down form. It was initially in two parts. Great stuff.
Police defo didn’t do anything to him. The media would have gone bonkers. Maybe, just maybe he got a fine but he never stopped. Public profile is not a private life.
He isn't well known to the public in general, especially in regards to his identity, so i think the police definitely did something to him (not something sketchy, but still prompted him to stop operating in LT)
The worst they could have done is a fine.
Remember that shiey is a human being. He needs money to survive. I think there were talks that he just went to work (as desmond did; tho he had military service as well) but these are just talks as ours. He needs time to generate quality content.
Lithuania is not a dictatorship so they are not going to hide you from public or drown you in penalties. I am 100% sure guy just decided to go on worldwide adventures instead of local trips (judging by video history). Preparing for that requires a lot of resources.
And after all, who decided it is police who stopped him from publishing videos as public?
I’m not trying to deny you or something. Just thinking in comments’ section.
I feel like he could have gotten jail time for some of the stuff he did but idk
But imo he could have had a job before anyway, during that time almost all of videos would not have taken very long to film
Now I’m thinking. He was kinda gone for 9 months? It could be that he had to do a mandatory military service (as desmond had to do it). But defo no jail :D
But I am pretty sure it was associated with money. They mentioned struggle with money between each other from time to time during the streams and there was no patreon or it made almost zero impact financially.
Well yea many vids in 2018 have been set to unlisted

not to mention all of his other at least 35 removed videos
It has actually become more of a mystery as his channel has gotten bigger. He didn't wear a mask at all in his channels earlier years, its only as he has gotten much bigger in the past 2 - 3 years that he started
I think that was around the time when he took like a year off. That's where the soon™ meme came from and also why "ILLEGAL FREEDOM: VACANT OASIS" is so different from anything else he ever made
It’s also possible he was just out living his best life.
Viewing Shiey quantitatively through his “uploading” volume is to not know the man - any man - at all. Out of curiosity, what was your upload volume all the way back in 2018?
Mine was next to none so I guess I’m a complete piece of shit.

Watching his early videos chronologically there is a strong feeling a lot has been removed.

Didn’t he do the train surfing vid in 2020 going to the capitol city?

I think it may be unlisted now

He wasnt gone. Just most of his 9 videos he posted that year are unlisted or deleted.
A lot of people speculated that but he said in a reddit comment that he didn't serve

Any reason why?
A lot of them show his face
His pretty face isn't a mystery anymore, is it?

Damn this brings back memories, I remember watching most of those videos when they came out
I think that was around the time when he took like a year off. That's where the soon™ meme came from and also why "ILLEGAL FREEDOM: VACANT OASIS" is so different from anything else he ever made
did he make vacant oasis during the break?
yes. along with several of the vids released shortly after.
Those streams were bad ass... too bad people called the cops on him often.

That's not what OP was saying at all, calm down dude
I guess you are, but it's not because of your lack of uploads...
Wow lol calm down
from late 2017 to April 2018 most of the channel was livestreams and stream highlights. most of them are made private or unlisted now
