That has to be one of the most punchable faces of all time.

Missing the point: he can't make money on youtube now, regardless of all the "free press" he's getting, which he got plenty of with that idiotic video in the first place.

This guy is a waste of oxygen. I guess it is just the world we live in when you do stupid shite and video it and make millions of dollars a year.

I'm not sure, I hadn't heard of him until that video made news. But it's a part of this youtube/twitch culture. It's huge. I follow video games a good bit and publishing companies are paying youtube "influencers" to hype their games as well. The audience is huge.

I can't tell you what his content is, but with 16 million subs, has to be something people like.

you think YouTube and advertisers are going to keep someone that has had 168 million views in the last 30 days suspended for long? Logan Paul is an online advertisers wet dream. I’m surprised he even still relies on YouTube instead of just using his own site

He also has a 5 minute song brainwashing kids to "buy his merch" and throw away anything their parents gave them for Christmas so they can make room for more Logan Paul merch.


Yeah, that’s the worst. I mean I liked some shite as a preteen/teen, but nothing close to that.

He still has pre-teens that will spend money on his "merch". Still has his own brand and sponsorships.

What the hell does this kid talk about on youtube to be so popular? Can he go back to that suicide forest and take care of himself?

It’s called the Adpocalypse. Advertisers stopped with PewDiePie, the biggest YouTuber in the world who is worth hundreds of millions. If they’ll cut of PewDiePie’s ad revenue (someone who is a decent human being and civil), they’ll sure as frick cut this little cocksucker off. YouTube’s overall goal is to turn into a glorified Hulu and run all the content creators they don’t like into the ground.

I doubt it, but I'm sure they are thinking this is a paper to the nose for Logan and maybe he'll shape up.


Again, I know nothing about his content so no idea if he's stepped over the line before. Maybe, but since the suicide video went global, they had to act like they were doing something.

The clip that annoyed me more was him and a friend over in China (or was it Japan), and just acting like complete shits to all the locals. Like Jackass level of crap but not funny in the least.

I guess I don’t really understand how YouTube and ads work, why do people with millions of followers rely on YouTube? Especially if they threaten or take away as revenue?

That one time when he pretended to be the mayor of Ruston was funny.

How I understand it, the only other way you would make money is for your followers to make monthly donations to your channel, which I assure you, he wouldn't have 16 million viewers then.

And the monetization of videos on youtube now is a weird beast. In order for you videos to be monetized (I assume have ads show on them), you a) have to have at least 1,000 subs, and b) over 4,000 hours of view time on your channel a year. Again, they have to protect the advertisers or their bread and butter is gone.


ETA So the point is, if you want to make money on youtube, you have to put in work. It's not as easy as just recording yourself saying a bunch of dumb shite and cha-ching.

Not much different than ads on TV. The more people watch, the more the ad revenue that can be generated.
