YouTube Suspends Logan Paul’s Ads After Vlogger Posts Video Tasering Dead Rats

This hasn’t been a very good year for Logan Paul‘s online career, and it looks like things are about to get even worse.

YouTube has announced that they have reviewed the Paul’s recent behavior and decided to suspend ad revenue on all his videos. This comes after Youtube announced last month that they were canceling several upcoming projects they had lined up with the vlogger.

From the company’s statement:

“After careful consideration, we have decided to temporarily suspend ads on Logan Paul’s YouTube channels. This is not a decision we made lightly, however, we believe he 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.”

Paul is still coming off of the controversy surrounding his video about finding a suicide victim’s body during a trip to Japan. He has been trying to rehab his image ever since his recent return to YouTube, though Paul has drawn criticism again over some of the objectionable content in his latest work.

In one of his recent videos, Paul encouraged people to do the Tide Pod challenge despite the obvious health risks. Paul also drew the wrath of PETA earlier this week over videos where he tasered a dead rat and poked a fish struggling to breathe after he took it out of water.
