- anything can be joked about in the right context. Logan Paul's context was not funny. Not remotely.
pastramionrye
People shouldn’t be following him to begin with. He’s never been someone to look up to, claiming he is a jerk now is just dumb. Get over it
timeloveandyarn
I don't know who exactly Logan Paul is but I do know that any time I see his name, it's never attached to anything good.
HailNimrod
Surprised he didn't end it with ....BITCH
Otterwaffle
I am honestly truly disgusted by the entire situation. Anyone who defends this twat should rethink their life decisions.
ThinMartin
I bet only thing he took from it is oh cool Aaron Paul saw my video
GucciWithSprinklesOnTop
and the money he got from views of his videos
VeryRealGirlAndNotRussianBot
I never under how after that he just went and partied, most people get really traumatized after seing that, shows it was a joke for him.
sgv1
Are you for fucking real? It's a corpse! It's only traumatizing if you don't understand the reality of like and death
SpeakerForTheUnLiving
Lemme guess, you've never seen a corpse in person, have you?
StaringAtSidewalks
The smell alone is stomach turning.
My grandfather's. It wasn't a pretty sight, but certainly not something I would try to reject out of disgust.
No way to say this that isn't rude but, do you mean like an open casket or you found his body? The difference between those is pretty big.
Someone if they were close to the victim. But I still don't find the content of the video inherently disrespectful. 2/2
He died peacefully in his bed. I'd imagine if I saw him hanging from a rope I'd be more shaken. I can see how this could be upsetting to 1/
Tionne
Logan Paul's lack of empathy is incredibly narcissistic.
PlantainSuperNova
I know right?. He somehow managed to make his "apology" all about him and humble brag about his views and success.
primarian
He displays the traits of an actual sociopath
nitrodragon54
You cant even deny this, how could you possibly defend laughing at possibly the first dead body you've seen in person. That is a sociopath.
itsamazing
shock makes your body do things you didn't expect, people burst out laughing if they see somebody fall down because of the unexpected nature
what it would mean to upload such a video, even if his brain was still processing what he saw and he was still numb to it through shock. /3
it's possible that it was just pure astonishment that made them laugh, but he must be extremely blind to social context to be oblivious to/2

I never liked Logan Paul. Could see he was a douche but anytime I said it here I got down voted. He is a piece of shit. Now everyone knows.
BannedAcc1
Same here, but I think I got downvotes for saying Vine was the greatest tool for making stupid people famous. (Not all we’re stupid)
BigFatUglyBugFaceBabyEatingOBrian
Dude went to the same college as me two years below. Dude was an attention seeking prick every second of everyday. Awful kid who got lucky
TayDonn
But seriously. Ran into him at Ping. He hid under his hoodie like the whole school was around every corner ready to suck his dick.
I never liked Logan Paul or his asshat brother. I’ve said it before Vine was the best at making stupid people famous. Very few were awesome.
DongSayaDae
Yeah quality of youtube sunk after the vine - some are pretty good (love the silly stereotypes Rudy Mancuso runs) but most are meh at best

I assume this is the thing Phil DeFranco will be discussing tomorrow...
MrJinglesTheFirst
He is a shame to Logan's all around the globe. Being a Logan myself, I am very disappointed.
squip
You’re no Logan, you’re a Jingles, you liar. The first one, I might add.
JamieSmyth
Yeah, my nephew is a Logan. Hopefully he's associated with Wolverine rather than this asshat.
If someone has a hard time remembering my name then I say "just think of wolverine". It work 100% of the time
FaceBookAI
I don't understand why YouTube is not punishing this behavior ON THEIR PLATFORM. Something has to be done about this guy already. 1/2
If not ban his channel best choice imo) then demonetize ALL his videos including all new ones for a period of time as punishment.
Youtube's priority number one has always been money. All the people rushing to that video because of this = lots and lots of money.
Corrodias
YouTube is just a video host. I'd prefer they not be in the business of deciding what videos should be censored, but they have advertisers »
to care about, so they do it to some extent.
It's a video host, but you have to use an account to upload and create. So technically aren't you under their "rule" at that point?
Yes. They *can* legally censor whatever they want. My preference is that they use a very light touch to do so.
So with a situation like this, what would you do?
ReleaseTheKracken
Whos logan paul and what did some douchebag do now?
HeartsAndStars
I've seen several YouTube videos about the suicide forest and none have garnered this kind of backlash. It's the way it was presented.
Cthulhuchooseyou
It has more to do with the complete disrespect in the face of another person's suffering and life-ending anguish.
Talkling/walking around in the forest to educate/show it as a creepy fact is a lot different to actually coming across a body and laughing.
The other content creators had the respect not to point and laugh at somebodies corpse. Logan Paul didn't.
Y'all, that's what I said. It was the way it was presented.
ElJefeLives
Well that's an obvious statement that isn't mind-changing or thought-provoking.
ialwaysupvotecows
It seriously concerns me that my students look up to this prick. They are constantly talking about him. So sad that he is their role model

AMartianPotato
Logan Paul's Channel has 15 million subscribers and has received nearly 3 billion video views. He's a celebrity whether we like it or not.
dejavutoyoutoo
That's 39% of the globally reported population! That's insane.
I'm not sure channel views to population is a very useful comparison.

Why not? If they continously make content I want to watch, I don't see the problem.

Nah he has too many dumb fans who won't care about him doing this
Snooj
Doubtful. Sure, he's going to get a lot of hate. But the people who love that shit will still love it and many people will discover him.
Derragur
Yeah and tweets like these only help him .. controversy makes peoples carreers and rarely brakes them unless it has to do with sexual abuse

He's a cancer, so I doubt it.

you can hope, but he's done some shady stupid shit before
PrinceSamaSanChanKun
People are defending him too, and saying The Anime Man and Gaijin were too harsh, IMO, they weren't harsh enough
Gaijin was trying SO HARD to give him the benefit of the doubt and contain his anger. But he had every right to be as pissed off as he was

Some shithead who has a YouTube channel & thinks it makes him somebody
Glad you guys cleared that up for me, I didn't wanna give him another hit on Google
Cilvaa
A shitstain, an utter cunt, and nobody important.
ZOMGNO
Youtuber. He posted a video of a dead body to his blog, and acted like that was ok, until there was a backlash. Indicative of today's blogs.
Nobody, forget you learned the name & avoid his content like the plague. Unless you want to lose IQ points then by all rights look him up.
thesassycupcake
An awful human. Look up his name on YouTube. You’ll understand.
I'll give it a google.
SaticoySteel
No don’t look him up on YouTube
SecretlySkeletonHitler
Better yet, don’t. Every time his name gets typed anywhere he makes more money.
And thats exactly my problem with celebrities tweeting their outrage ur only helping him grow
Xenarion
Adblock.
Doesn’t prevent him from making money off your searches.
How so? Youtube doesn't give ad revenu if the ad doesn't show.
Current state/rate of things i think searching "fuckwit douche" would show the Paul brothers in a week or 2.
knightshaide1999360
Actually saw this one. Made me sad. For the person who's death it was, for the children LP and his friends still are, and for the viewers.
thatsvoodoo
the thing is alot of his subscribers are sorry for him
AStrayPube
My brain hurts, what is wrong with his sibs, i know the audience may be young, but forgiving that is not normal.
TheAngryMarineBiologist
Logan and Jake Paul genuinely act like seriously disturbed sociopaths, the fact that they get so many followers is seriously worrying 1/?
songsinthekeyofheck
While it is pretty disturbing, they do not fit the criteria for antisocial personality. Theyre just being idiots.
TitsPalmer
Sorry, wait. Who's Jake Paul? I vaguely knew who Logan Paul was but I have 0 idea who the other dude is.
Jake Paul is Logan Paul's equally shitty brother, he has a bunch of similar cunts for an entourage called 'Team 10', loads of stuff 1/?
Out there about him being a gigantic jackass, bully and racist, he was formerly in Hollywood but was basically kicked out of mainstream 2/?
Hollywood, if that gives you any indication of how much of a twat he was/is 3/3
Sounds like they're both Jack asses and wastes of space.
GH05TY
ADD =/= sociopathic. I don't know enough about Logan Paul to say he doesn't also have it, but I'm very sure it didn't lead him to do this.
ThatDarnBandit
After befriending youtubers and seeing how they are that’s honestly most of the content creators, closet racists who are sociopaths
Teo and his gang of merry friends arent sociopaths!... for the most part anyways...
I mean, there's one of them that isn't around as much anymore that definitely is.
It's like the whole Daddy0Five thing, it's creepy how many people love to watch genuine monsters abuse vulnerable people for fun 2/2
TheFastpaws
I thought that old horror movie about people watching others die speeding it up would be something nobody would watch. I was wrong.
JudgeMentalCat
Sad part is that DaddyOFive was just one of dozens of accounts doing the same thing. I'd been following the protest against ToyFreaks
for a long time, and they recently got taken down for child abuse. But it's an unending fight. As long as Youtube turns a blind eye towards
people bringing in money, there will be people abusing their kids on Youtube for money
Youtube honestly needs to die. They've become so focused on profits that they'll do anything. For fucks sake, they created an algorithm
CorrectlyOperatedVagina
I watched Philip DeFranco's videos on them...awful people and those poor kids :(
pandro
Is this the family that "pranks" the kid from ex-wife? Haven't they gotten him out of there yet?! is his mom too messed up for custody?
The two youngest children are with their mother at present, D05 and his wife took a plea bargain for child endangerment to avoid child 1/?
Abuse charges, they only got 5 years probation, no social media about Cody/Emma, no contact with Cody/Emma who were found to have 2/?

The saddest part? I remember when they were funny on Vine. It sucks how much they’ve fallen.

I'm sorry, but they were among the worst viners.

It’s not how much they have fallen but how much they have learned to game the system. Which shows 8;the end how much they have fallen

It’s sad people are getting this upset over a YouTube video
it's even sadder you don't understand how fucking bad this is.
auserwithaname
It's not the YouTube video. It's the actions. Suicide is already a hue issue, especially around this time of year. Making fun of it is (1/?)
Immature and straight up dangerous. People need to know that you can get help and get better. His actions didn't express that. (2/2)
And who the fuck sees a dead body and laughs at it, seriously, you have to be actually insane to have that reaction. Disgusting.
I get some people use humor to cope. But don't publicize it. Cope on your own when it could bother others
coolnate11
Nah I'm with you. The fact that people make guys like this important in the first place and give money and time to them is ridiculous
Then freek out when the YouTube shit head does something shitty. You built this idol now you get to deal with it.
He went and made a video laughing at the corpse of someone who committed suicide. Go fuck yourself you cuntstain
Do you know the person who died? No? Do you know the family? Why the fuck are you acting like you actually care. You don't know this person.
If Logan hadn't made that video, you would have had no idea that person even died in the first place. You have no connection to the victim.
Kamasu0Tra
Not seen the video, and not going to watch it, but is he actually laughing at the person in a "ha ha, look at this loser" way is he nervous?
*Or is he just nervous? There's a big difference between the two.
321Cheers
The guy is a certified content creator so why did this video make it to trending without the YouTube ad censor bots catching it?
OmenJones
YT's whole 'advertiser friendly' effort is a joke. They throw small-to-medium sized channels under the bus, but not their earners.
For the same reason he posted it: Money.
jazzrn
Because YouTube.
Gets Money
Same reason Facebook left a video of a rape a couple of days before blocking it while insta-blocking breast cancers videos: Money.
mirgu
I don't think it was monetised.
I saw it reposted and he said it wasn't monetized. Someone else saw the whole thing and said it had commercials imbedded in the later part.
He also monetized his apology video. Don’t watch it.
triedtothinkofausernamethatwasntalreadytaken
He said he wouldn't didn't he
ProbablyDrunkAgain
Of course he did.
PicklesAreDope
fucking seriously?
I wish I could get paid to say sorry for doing something abhorrent. Dick.
MetroidJunkie
Yet, he didn't monetize the original suicide forest video. Was this freaking planned out?
Sandwichael
hard to believe it wasnt
Could have sworn he said in the video that it wasn't monetized for reasons of suicide awareness or some shit.
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
Then I must have misunderstood. I deleted my incorrect information.
I hear they didn't even age restrict it, yet other people got guideline strikes of graphic content for reuploading it.
VrryBurntpork
YouTube's demonetization algorithm would have hit him anyway, so yet, it was planned.
I'm surprised Youtube didn't do anything to it apart from that, they were striking down other people who uploaded it but not him.
Almost like Youtube has demonstrated double standards in the past and they'll actually give special breaks to their star players.
As long as they don't get sued or lose advertisers, they don't care.
Unless you're a small Youtuber and you swear once or twice.
PoeKneeTa
According to Reddit, Youtube personally reviewed his suicide video, did not demonetize it, nor did they even put in an age restriction.
I guess they figured there was no fear of being sued but they could make money on it, so... yay. Ugh.
iamjackscompletelackofcompassion
what a CUNT
PapaTimDankopus
Adblock equipped, watching it to flag it and get it demonitized
CandyCaneClorox
the captions are funny. people are sharing it from other sources so he doesn't get the money.

Any chance we can see it on Imgur as a shitty quality gif so he makes no money from it?
Frejanna
If you have Snapchat, there is a story about it on their popular page that shows a small clip. It's fucking disgusting.

Yeah. I watched it on twitter, and was kind of positively surprised. And then I scrolled.... "Like if you're in the Logang!". WTF?!
AimForTheLittleToe
For those that have adblock it should be fine, right?

WhateverWhateverIDoWhatIWant

Aaah, well no watch then
NeXtGenes1s
I watched it worst acting I have ever seen. Give us a break, he don’t feel sorry for the family he feels sorry that he screwed his life up
He doesn't even feel sorry for THAT. He's only apologizing because he has to. He truly thinks he has "great power" and has a massive-
god-complex.
VodkaReindeer
Can I watch it if I have an adblocker?
thatishisname
Yes
serpentinebaboo
I read his apology tweet. It was half bragging and completely ridiculous. He’s a complete piece of shit. Just boycott anything involving him
Asdafax
His fans don't care, before it blew up in tweeter it had around 500-600k likes
His fans are 12 and think this is how adults normally behave. I don’t think many of them are even old enough for Twitter.

What did they call it last time the adpocalyse but in all honesty hes like pewdiepie nothing will happen to him YouTube earn a lot from him

Pewdiepie hasn't done anything close to this
But he said a bad word when he got a bit antsy in a game!! I dont like him but if Pdp got bashed for that - then both Pauls should be banned

Pewdiepie's twitter response to this was pretty funny tho
HectoProtecto
And he's got more followers than before this fiasco

No shit. And people will watch that shit and advertisers will pay for that. I'm surprised people are so surprised that this happened.
StarSpangeledAbroad
Again, Youtube does ads on videos automatically. Clearly you don’t get how YouTube works
stcl
This guy is a total scum bag yet he's making money left and right.
KatsuDog
Welcome to how the world works.
Good. If it matters to people he apologizes, he should monetize it. Why not? What does he owe anyone?
catsnroombas
Either he doesn't owe anyone and doesn't need too apologise, or he does and he does. Can't pick from both columns.
That is a dumb thing to say. People apologize for SOOO many different reasons. I meant money-wise though. Why shouldn’t he monetize his vid?
Sadly, your comment PERFECTLY ENCAPSULATES this detestable being's mindset. If anything, you got that right with your comment.
No. You are detestable for even being interested. Really caring about this assholes videos is the root of the problem in the first place
TheLeftPocket
He made fun of a suicide victim for money. That's why not.
He is an idiot. He does things idiots do. Who cares? Stop watching his videos how about that?
cuntyprincess
Not that I agree with him or what he did but this is absolutely not true. The apology isn’t monetized
Yeah looks like it got demonetized. I think someone in this twitter thread managed to cap a screen of it
Here it is!
Look I can do it too.
This is too easy to fake and literally took less than five minutes
https://twitter.com/joeykidney/status/948236387911962625
The screen cap that shows in the thread shows it playing about 5 seconds into a video that is under 2 min. That isn’t usually how it’s done.
I’m not defending him but We can’t just make shit up
Unless something changed very recently, that is how it works.
blackbaron
AHAHHAHAHAHAHAH wtf
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
how do you monetize apology video?
Targeted ads include prescription drugs to treat depression and shit, I bet.
Gzorax
The same way you monetize young children video
geiokami
How the fuck did it not immediently get de-monetized by YouTube? Videos with the word “stock” got de-monetized after the Vegas shooting.
Isignedinfor9gagfirst
Because it was most definetly fake...
MagicMemeXXL
YouTube has been corrupted by the ad revenue debacle with WSJ and they auto-profile channels. Logan Paul gets a dead body monetised, but ...
... meme channels like Dolan Dark get everything auto-demonetized including a cute animal compilation video (https://youtu.be/VBuGa8b3avk)
Because YT get a cut of the ad revenue too. This douche is a cash cow for them too. YT can demonetize Bob Loblaw's Law Blog w/o backlash.
capy265
really? No one got the arrested development reference?
OntariosFinest
One video is basically pennies for YouTube though
relicen
Does demonetization remove the adds though? Doesn't it just decrease the cut the creator get of the revenue?
> Then the creator can choose whether or not to remove the adds after.
kiive
All you need to do is install adblocker.
Doesn't work on the videos.

He says in the apology that “with great power comes great responsibility”. For real, he included that like he came up with it. Douche.

I'm not a valogger so I'm uninformed. At that level of YouTube success will they even let you turn off ads?

I thought they were mad cuz he was disrespectful to a corpse/filmed it? I mean, I don't know/care who he is, but that seems to be the issue
Some people are apparently upset because he laughed, but that's a fairly common reaction to intense stress.
So, dumb to post it, & he prolly should've stopped before the joking and exaggerated reaction shots, but he's more stupid than malicious
Yeah pretty much. Stupid video, but people are overreacting to it because they're keyboard warriors and it makes them feel special.

XenophiliusLovegood
What do either of those have to do with this video? WTF did people expect to see watching a video of a YouTube 'star' in suicide forrest?
Are you not aware that showing dead bodies on camera is considered taboo? Especially showing their faces and laughing. It's disrespectful.
Dead bodies on camera is not taboo. Camera don't steal your soul. This isn't the 1800's.
Based off the way you talk about this, I can safely concluded that you are part of the problem here with this whole situation. -->
You seem to think that a video of someone walking into a high suicide location and making jokes and ridiculing the corpse is fine -->

I'm sorry that we're concerned over someone laughing about suicide being a celebrity instead of somehow assisting someone who is dead. Wtf.
tiarali
People are upset that he zoomed in on a dead guy's face and laughed. That dude has grieving family who deserve better.
Unlikely. If he had family who "deserved better" he wouldn't have committed suicide. Also, laughing is a very common stress reaction.

If you watch the video, you can tell its an uncomfortable laugh. I know a lot of people who laugh when put in an awkward situation. I do too
Exactly. Complaining about his laugh is stupid. He can't control that.
icookfoodandfightfire
do you also make faces at the body and crack jokes to your friends, then make fun of them when theyre uncomfortable with the situation?
Do you then post it online for profit?
That part is really dumb. But in the moment you cant control a laugh like that. People are acting like he found the corpse amusing

The location and person are what matters on this certain topic. He knowingly went into a location where suicide was big. With cameras and -1
A dumb ass hat on. Completely not ok, and very immature. The fact that you even call everyone a SJW on such a topic makes you part of the -2
TiredOfMyUsernameBeingMyActualNameSoIChangedIt
He posted a video where they go to the Suicide Forest in Japan and they found a hanging corpse and zoomed in on the face and laughed.
Thank you. I saw a few Youtubers reacting/replying to it so I was wondering.

If only that wasnt the reason that douche had gone there.

God damn it I made a resolution not to laugh at implied suicide

not only this, but the thumbnail for the video is of the dead guy, and he monetized both that video and the video he made apologizing, scum.

Oh THAT guy...ugh...
Not to be that guy, but i know a lot of people who laugh when put in an uncomfortable situation. I do it too.
iSoulend
I mean it was very probably premeditated, maybe even scripted

And make a video? And upload it? On YouTube? Then half ass an apology?
That part was really dumb. But everyone is acting like he was making fun and laughing at the body.

Wait, like a real fucking corpse?!

Yep. He happened up on a suicide body hanging in one of the trees and filmed it.

Jesus fucking Christ, what a sick fuck, I mean what kind of fucked up sociopath do you have to be to look at a hanging corpse and laugh?
flameshark11
A lot of people do. Main problem is he put it on a social media platform.
somanywonders987
The argument is that he was laughing at the situation. However he could've edited a lot of that out, yet he didn't, then monetized the video

He didn't laugh though watch the video

Actually a fairly common response. Easier to laugh than it is to cry. BIG difference in having the mind to profit from it afterwards tho.

TheClayKnight
"Put the gun down google we can talk about this"
Thuperduper
I totally understand that, the unacceptable part is that he posted it on YouTube.
Ok, I might have been overly general. I can understand it from a perspective such as yours, but not in the case of Logan Paul
MyHumanForm
If you were laughing at dead people as the only way to make money, that's an issue. You're doing it to make it through another shift.
oscillatingdogfan
It’s desensitization. Part of self preservation. Used to have that after a certain job. Funny part is, now that I’m in a different field
dude, that is completely different and you know it, don't internalise the blame, it wasn't for you or anything you do, You're a good person
dgtalchal
It's normal for us working in the medical field. We have morbid sense of humor to keep us sane with all the shit we see.
ServaDei
It's like the fatalistic humour I've seen among fellow climatologists; to cope with the often awful nature of the reality we live with.
I bet you don't film and upload it though
This is exactly why I think his claim of laughing as a coping mechanism is bs.
Nervous disbelief at seeing something that makes you uncomfortable, I can understand using dark humor to process.
I can understand too. The part I don't understand is video taping it and posting it on YouTube
imagitivewriter
plus since they have trails, it's highly likely he went OFF THE TRIAL to find a body for this purpose.
I'm sure that's what it was in the moment, and maybe he didn't get that it'd come across as laughing at it because it wasn't how they felt
best case; maybe he thought he was showing something that was culturally interesting and profound, but he should have taken a step back
I could buy that, if he didn't A) Go to the fucking suicide forest with a camera and B) Upload the video to YouTube afterwards
Zreen
C) monetize it. D) delete it and monetize the apology video E) Film another suicide victim in the forest. F) REPEAT
KillingTlme
People should be more upset that this place is common knowledge and doesn't have guards or counselors there. This video might be good.. 1/2

This is a pretty good documentry on the area talking to a guy who voulenterily patrols the area https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FDSdg09df8

hyperpiston
Japan is wildly aware of it, though. There are signs begging people not to do it, string guides to help them find their way out -
(gps/compasses don't work in the forest), and patrols to regularly try and help people leave and get help.
the park rangers that patrol the area for assholes like Logan Paul. 2.2
Drop us a PM if there are any questions!
There are forest rangers there who patrol looking to "talk people down", it's unfortunatly not in a place that can be patrolled easily
There are signs and barriers that block people from entering parts of the forest where people go to commit suicide. Not to mention all 1/2

No way to say this that isn't rude but, do you mean like an open casket or you found his body? The difference between those is pretty big.

Logan Paul's lack of empathy is incredibly narcissistic.
PlantainSuperNova
I know right?. He somehow managed to make his "apology" all about him and humble brag about his views and success.
primarian
He displays the traits of an actual sociopath
nitrodragon54
You cant even deny this, how could you possibly defend laughing at possibly the first dead body you've seen in person. That is a sociopath.
itsamazing
shock makes your body do things you didn't expect, people burst out laughing if they see somebody fall down because of the unexpected nature
itsamazing
what it would mean to upload such a video, even if his brain was still processing what he saw and he was still numb to it through shock. /3

it's possible that it was just pure astonishment that made them laugh, but he must be extremely blind to social context to be oblivious to/2

If not ban his channel best choice imo) then demonetize ALL his videos including all new ones for a period of time as punishment.
SpeakerForTheUnLiving
Youtube's priority number one has always been money. All the people rushing to that video because of this = lots and lots of money.
Corrodias
YouTube is just a video host. I'd prefer they not be in the business of deciding what videos should be censored, but they have advertisers »
Corrodias
to care about, so they do it to some extent.
FaceBookAI
It's a video host, but you have to use an account to upload and create. So technically aren't you under their "rule" at that point?
Corrodias
Yes. They *can* legally censor whatever they want. My preference is that they use a very light touch to do so.
FaceBookAI
So with a situation like this, what would you do?
ReleaseTheKracken
Whos logan paul and what did some douchebag do now?
HeartsAndStars
I've seen several YouTube videos about the suicide forest and none have garnered this kind of backlash. It's the way it was presented.
Cthulhuchooseyou
It has more to do with the complete disrespect in the face of another person's suffering and life-ending anguish.
nitrodragon54
Talkling/walking around in the forest to educate/show it as a creepy fact is a lot different to actually coming across a body and laughing.
PlantainSuperNova
The other content creators had the respect not to point and laugh at somebodies corpse. Logan Paul didn't.

Y'all, that's what I said. It was the way it was presented.

Almost like Youtube has demonstrated double standards in the past and they'll actually give special breaks to their star players.

As long as they don't get sued or lose advertisers, they don't care.

TheDudeOrHisDudeness
how do you monetize apology video?
PoeKneeTa
Targeted ads include prescription drugs to treat depression and shit, I bet.
Gzorax
The same way you monetize young children video
geiokami
How the fuck did it not immediently get de-monetized by YouTube? Videos with the word “stock” got de-monetized after the Vegas shooting.
Isignedinfor9gagfirst
Because it was most definetly fake...
MagicMemeXXL
YouTube has been corrupted by the ad revenue debacle with WSJ and they auto-profile channels. Logan Paul gets a dead body monetised, but ...
MagicMemeXXL
... meme channels like Dolan Dark get everything auto-demonetized including a cute animal compilation video (https://youtu.be/VBuGa8b3avk)
AccountCreatedToUpvoteDogs
Because YT get a cut of the ad revenue too. This douche is a cash cow for them too. YT can demonetize Bob Loblaw's Law Blog w/o backlash.
capy265
really? No one got the arrested development reference?
OntariosFinest
One video is basically pennies for YouTube though
relicen
Does demonetization remove the adds though? Doesn't it just decrease the cut the creator get of the revenue?
relicen
> Then the creator can choose whether or not to remove the adds after.

I suggest disliking the video and trying to give YouTube bad press at least.
ultradongle
As Mr. Krabs says "Money money money money money!"
HorseMadeofGhosts
As a content creator.. I'm surprised as well. Even tagging toe can get it de-mon'd
Tredecim
tagging toe ?
PotatoIsland
Dude youtube left the video of him with the dead body on trending for awhile to get people watching it even though it breaks one of their 1/

main rules of not promoting real graphic content thats being used just to be disturbing or sensational which is what he was doing. 2/2

off* not of stupid me
Batonrougeisnotsobad
He says in the apology that “with great power comes great responsibility”. For real, he included that like he came up with it. Douche.
PoeKneeTa
His ego is as massive as his penis is tiny.
Imjusthereforthelulz
I might be late to the party here, but Philip DeFranco recently bebunked this in a video. Paul is still trash tho

If this is correct, Youtube monetizes/gets the money off his videos and pays him separately http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-42538495
ManimalDeification24
I for one, am outraged. How can YouTube be so insensitive. WE SHOULD BOYCOTT YOUTUBE. Hah rite
Whazitooyah
or use adblockers and just don't give 'em money.
ManimalDeification24
I'm not a valogger so I'm uninformed. At that level of YouTube success will they even let you turn off ads?
Whazitooyah
As far as I know, it's a mentality thing. It's basically a full time job at that point, so the ads never stop. T'is why I use uBlock Origin.

Are you saying that Aaron Paul is Logan's brother? If you are, you're thinking of Jake. Aaron is completely unrelated.

On a slight tangent, I really like that the BBC put up suicide support guidelines at the end.
JayPapy
That's standard for BBC on any article relating to suicide. Generally if counselling or help is a factor BBC will provide a doorway for ppl
shhep
He posted an intentionally provocative video and literally every celebrity out there is playing right into his hands. Like, this was his
shhep
fucking goal. You don't get this kind of spotlight, ever. Best thing you can do is fucking forget he exists. Not retweet celeb outrage.
nicouk
Guy went to suicide forrest in Japan. SJW's are upset that there were dead people in the Forrest.
ERICMC2
May be missing some context there pal.

Kitastrophe
I thought they were mad cuz he was disrespectful to a corpse/filmed it? I mean, I don't know/care who he is, but that seems to be the issue
nicouk
Some people are apparently upset because he laughed, but that's a fairly common reaction to intense stress.
Kitastrophe
So, dumb to post it, & he prolly should've stopped before the joking and exaggerated reaction shots, but he's more stupid than malicious
nicouk
Yeah pretty much. Stupid video, but people are overreacting to it because they're keyboard warriors and it makes them feel special.
CocktailGaming
You need to understand the difference between political correctness and common decency.
RheaButt
No, literally any expectation of manners and respect is liberal sjw oppression that must be stopped /s
XenophiliusLovegood
nicouk
What do either of those have to do with this video? WTF did people expect to see watching a video of a YouTube 'star' in suicide forrest?
CocktailGaming
Are you not aware that showing dead bodies on camera is considered taboo? Especially showing their faces and laughing. It's disrespectful.
nicouk
Dead bodies on camera is not taboo. Camera don't steal your soul. This isn't the 1800's.
FaceBookAI
Based off the way you talk about this, I can safely concluded that you are part of the problem here with this whole situation. -->
FaceBookAI
You seem to think that a video of someone walking into a high suicide location and making jokes and ridiculing the corpse is fine -->

Dude fuck off. Everyone with human decency is upset about this.

No, everyone who wants to jump on the bandwagon is. How many care enough to help outside the internet?
mialynneb
SJWs? No - normal people with common sense and empathy. Something that seems to have been purged from this world.
nicouk
SJW is someone who claims offense on someone else's behalf. How does that label not fit?
mialynneb
It's a perjorative.
BaronSteggles

what the fuck is wrong with you?

OP asked what was going on, I advised. All these people are pretending to care about someone who choose to end their life. (1)
nicouk
How many of them get upset about actual living people, enough to actually help instead of crying online over a poor taste YouTube video?
CarlosOfNightvale
I'm sorry that we're concerned over someone laughing about suicide being a celebrity instead of somehow assisting someone who is dead. Wtf.
tiarali
People are upset that he zoomed in on a dead guy's face and laughed. That dude has grieving family who deserve better.
nicouk
Unlikely. If he had family who "deserved better" he wouldn't have committed suicide. Also, laughing is a very common stress reaction.

You clearly don't understand the driving forces behind suicide. You should educate yourself before opening your mouth again.

I know a damn site more about suicide than most actually. It's one of the things I consider most important. (1)
NUCLEARMOOSEES
If you watch the video, you can tell its an uncomfortable laugh. I know a lot of people who laugh when put in an awkward situation. I do too
nicouk
Exactly. Complaining about his laugh is stupid. He can't control that.
icookfoodandfightfire
do you also make faces at the body and crack jokes to your friends, then make fun of them when theyre uncomfortable with the situation?
AstralMarmot
Do you then post it online for profit?
NUCLEARMOOSEES
That part is really dumb. But in the moment you cant control a laugh like that. People are acting like he found the corpse amusing
HeyItzWerty
Your dumb. You obviously don't have the same morals as most human beings. Please take a look in the mirror and get help
EatSomeFuckingShitYouFuckingStupidBitch
*You’re
nicouk
People die. Get over it. Not sure why my morals are in question because I acknowledge that instead of crying about it like a baby.
HeyItzWerty
The location and person are what matters on this certain topic. He knowingly went into a location where suicide was big. With cameras and -1
HeyItzWerty
A dumb ass hat on. Completely not ok, and very immature. The fact that you even call everyone a SJW on such a topic makes you part of the -2
TiredOfMyUsernameBeingMyActualNameSoIChangedIt
He posted a video where they go to the Suicide Forest in Japan and they found a hanging corpse and zoomed in on the face and laughed.
Xenarion
Thank you. I saw a few Youtubers reacting/replying to it so I was wondering.
hetriedtokillmewithaforklift
And made it the thumbnail beside his stupid mug.
Dots77
If only that wasnt the reason that douche had gone there.
Occasionalfunnycomment
God damn it I made a resolution not to laugh at implied suicide
TheeRealDuke
Oh shit
Ichigeki
not only this, but the thumbnail for the video is of the dead guy, and he monetized both that video and the video he made apologizing, scum.

You would have to be, that is not a natural reaction for a mentally stable person.

Is no one else concerned that suicide forest is a tourist attraction???
superanth
Oh THAT guy...ugh...
NUCLEARMOOSEES
Not to be that guy, but i know a lot of people who laugh when put in an uncomfortable situation. I do it too.
iSoulend
I mean it was very probably premeditated, maybe even scripted
alphusultimus
And make a video? And upload it? On YouTube? Then half ass an apology?
NUCLEARMOOSEES
That part was really dumb. But everyone is acting like he was making fun and laughing at the body.
quadropheniac
Wait, like a real fucking corpse?!
nonamejanie
Yep. He happened up on a suicide body hanging in one of the trees and filmed it.

TheAngryMarineBiologist
Jesus fucking Christ, what a sick fuck, I mean what kind of fucked up sociopath do you have to be to look at a hanging corpse and laugh?
flameshark11
A lot of people do. Main problem is he put it on a social media platform.
somanywonders987
The argument is that he was laughing at the situation. However he could've edited a lot of that out, yet he didn't, then monetized the video
LordPyra
"Everybody copes differently" as he guffaws and uses that death to garner more views and followers
BaggedMolk
you have to be a retarded chad with bleached hair
ImWonderingIfIllEverGetMyOwnUsername
He didn't laugh though watch the video
AmiEvilYet
Actually a fairly common response. Easier to laugh than it is to cry. BIG difference in having the mind to profit from it afterwards tho.
speershawks
One with millions of followers. The worst kind of sociopath.

MyHumanForm
If you were laughing at dead people as the only way to make money, that's an issue. You're doing it to make it through another shift.
oscillatingdogfan
It’s desensitization. Part of self preservation. Used to have that after a certain job. Funny part is, now that I’m in a different field
itsamazing
dude, that is completely different and you know it, don't internalise the blame, it wasn't for you or anything you do, You're a good person
dgtalchal
It's normal for us working in the medical field. We have morbid sense of humor to keep us sane with all the shit we see.
ServaDei
It's like the fatalistic humour I've seen among fellow climatologists; to cope with the often awful nature of the reality we live with.
thecucumber
I bet you don't film and upload it though

Otterwaffle
This is exactly why I think his claim of laughing as a coping mechanism is bs.
pineapplepuppy
Nervous disbelief at seeing something that makes you uncomfortable, I can understand using dark humor to process.
Thuperduper
I can understand too. The part I don't understand is video taping it and posting it on YouTube
imagitivewriter
plus since they have trails, it's highly likely he went OFF THE TRIAL to find a body for this purpose.
itsamazing
I'm sure that's what it was in the moment, and maybe he didn't get that it'd come across as laughing at it because it wasn't how they felt
itsamazing
best case; maybe he thought he was showing something that was culturally interesting and profound, but he should have taken a step back
TheAngryMarineBiologist
I could buy that, if he didn't A) Go to the fucking suicide forest with a camera and B) Upload the video to YouTube afterwards
Zreen
C) monetize it. D) delete it and monetize the apology video E) Film another suicide victim in the forest. F) REPEAT
KillingTlme
People should be more upset that this place is common knowledge and doesn't have guards or counselors there. This video might be good.. 1/2

If it brings awareness to a serious problem. 2/2
hyperpiston
Japan is wildly aware of it, though. There are signs begging people not to do it, string guides to help them find their way out -
hyperpiston
(gps/compasses don't work in the forest), and patrols to regularly try and help people leave and get help.
PlantainSuperNova
the park rangers that patrol the area for assholes like Logan Paul. 2.2
FoxhoundOperator
Drop us a PM if there are any questions!
FoxhoundOperator
There are forest rangers there who patrol looking to "talk people down", it's unfortunatly not in a place that can be patrolled easily
PlantainSuperNova
There are signs and barriers that block people from entering parts of the forest where people go to commit suicide. Not to mention all 1/2
