YouTube has cut business ties with Logan Paul, the hugely popular vlogger who posted a video showing the body of an apparent suicide victim in Japan.

Paul's channels were removed from YouTube's Google Preferred programme, where brands sell ads on the top 5% of the platform's content creators.

YouTube also said it had put on hold original projects with the US vlogger.

Still going to get that YouTube money. He will still pull in millions of dollars per year. Youtube will still put him on recommended video lists.

Fuck google

Youtube is such a shithole

Between the alt right youtube channels dominating the politics sphere to these two shit heads running amuck

Stop promoting shit things

 

[Geirskogul]

But will they demonetize and ban his channel?

Finally youtube is doing something

Unortunaly he can just place more ads and cover for the costs. Not strong enough of a punishment.

 

[Nepenthe]

Just ban his channel already.

 

[SideMatt]

delete his channel you fucking opportunist cowards

 

[henhowc]

have they ever accidentally reset someone's subscribers hah

 

[TrueSloth]

I wonder if they'll consider doing that for other channels or is it just a publicity thing.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Ban his channels you cowards.

Nah, they're just giving him pulling him from Google preferred. It means he'll make a lot less money as he won't get the best ad revenue but he'll still be a cushy millionaire. Add on to that the fact that his Brother is absurdly huge on YouTube as well and he hasn't been removed from Google Preferred even though he is just as disgusting.

They only do it to channels that make headlines for doing horrible shit. Pewdiepie got the exact same punishment.

Yeesh, that's a bizarrely oversimplified headline.

YouTube removes Logan Paul as a preferred ad partner, puts his YouTube Red projects on hold

Headline should read Google Doesn't Actually Cut Ties but Pretends To and Hopes You Don't Notice the Difference

That it? Just ban him. Forever, 5 years, 2 years, a year. Anything is more meaningful than this.

Somewhat related to this: Can someone briefly summarize Boogie's response to this whole thing?

 

[Khaos Prime]

Seems fair. Shouldn't ban him for a first offense. Leave room for rehabilitation and growth.

It's probably just his usual both sides are bad shit or something

In the middle.

This is the YouTube equivalent of a slap on the wrist.

He talks about how it's personal since he himself has attempted suicide at various points in his life, says the whole thing was shitty, somehow comes backtracks to "I'm sure you had good intentions" and says he's always open to talk with Logan and help him out. The video was pretty okay until halfway in when he basically imploded and went back to his neutral nonsense.

 

[Aiii]

This thread is about Logan Paul, not about Boogie. Please stay on-topic.
