YouTube star Logan Paul uploads a monetised video of a suicide victim to "raise awareness"

I wish I could ignore him. YouTube promote morons like this guy in the content they spam me with. If they allowed me to filter our his content (and similar drivel) from my profile, it would a lot easier to ignore him, and find content I'm actually interested in.

YouTube is drowning in mediocre content.

I'm on Youtube a fair bit, I've never seen a single video of his and hadn't heard of him until this story started. I follow mostly gaming channels and a few Podcasts (JRE + Jocko Willink) so maybe it doesn't class me as a potential viewer.

Sounds like you're getting recommendations based upon your recent views. Either browse without being logged in or clear your youtube search history.
 
Youtube needs to get more vigilant. Yea, ok, thats going to be difficult but something has to be done.
 
Right, so this article states the following:

At the time, though, YouTube said it was exploring “further consequences” for Paul, and now seems to have found some. Social media analysts SocialBlade estimate that Paul earns up to $1.2 million a month in ad revenue from his YouTube channels. This income stream is now on hold, though for how long is uncertain. It’s worth noting also that this is only part of Paul’s business, with the YouTuber relentlessly promoting his clothing line and merchandise in each video. It’s not clear how much money he makes from these sales.

But then DG has been on record saying this:



Which one is closer? I'm interested to find out which one of these is closer to the truth. They are an order of magnitude different. 13 million is insane.

i am telling you the adsense money generated from his views. so if hes on £1800 a day based of his views then work it out a month.you get roughly £600 per million views from adsense.he will have other deals though obviously.
 
This, mine is looking pretty good at the moment. Just anime, my little pony and kantana videos.

I don't have a Google account, a browser history or even any persisting cookies, DOM storage or anything like that. So the recommendations I get from Youtube are based on the videos I've watched in that browser session. They're almost all of some relevance. Lots of smithing and other making stuff videos. Sword making at the moment - it's far more complicated than many people think and I find it fascinating to watch a skilled smith making a sword and explaining the process. It's far more than the shaping, although that's also skilled work. Lindybeige is currently doing some videos on making a sword himself, guided by a proper swordsmith. They show the effect of skill even just on shaping - the smith can do any part of the job far better in a tenth of the time.

Maybe that's the problem then. Try logging in to Google. I've never had the (mis)pleasure of seeing this guy's videos and was also only made aware from him by this thread. My recommendations are pretty much 90% Minecraft videos, my kids watch a guy called DanTDM who makes child friendly content. The rest are funny animals.

The fact that he even has so many followers disturbs me most. I tried watching a couple clips of his after the incident. His videos are straightup garbage, just plain garbage with the most braindead and moronic content. It’s dumbfounding how this is even part of the mainstream culture with this level of support..

Likewise. What’s funny is I don’t see or find most of these things except from the OcUK forums.

Not in recommendations. Just other places generally.

Unless you only read OCUK, this stuff is on news, tech sites loads of places.
 
What do you think of the latest press conference, you probably haven't seen it. I don't keep up with all this gunk generally but seen the latest. KSI guy is well out of order, just at the level of a feral street thug.

Can't link the video as lot of swearing and derogatory stuff being said.
 
Logan Paul is going to fight??? :confused:

The walk out is almost certainly staged - I haven't watched it though... I really couldn't care less about the dude :p
