YouTube has temporarily suspended advertisements on Logan Paul’s channels after a string of recent controversies, cutting off a significant portion of the infamous social-media personality’s lucrative revenue stream. Paul received worldwide condemnation in January when he posted a video showing the body of a suicide victim in Japan. He suffered a fresh round of backlash Monday after posting a video where he tasered two dead rats and attempted to give a fish “CPR.” Animal-welfare activists, including PETA, condemned his stunts. In a statement, YouTube said: “This is not a decision we made lightly; however, we believe [Paul] has exhibited a pattern of behavior in his videos that makes his channel not only unsuitable for advertisers, but also potentially damaging to the broader creator community.”
In response to Logan Paul’s recent pattern of behavior, we’ve temporarily suspended ads on his channels.
