The Logan Paul Controversy: What You Need to Know

Logan Paul is a YouTube star and one of the most popular vloggers on the platform. He has over 15 million subscribers on his channel, which is one of the most subscribed channels in all of YouTube.

Logan Paul is known for posting comedic videos, with a focus on family friendly content. His videos often feature his younger brother, Luke Paul.

In late December 2017, Logan Paul posted a video in which he visited Japan's Aokigahara forest to film what he described as "a suicide forest". The video featured footage of an apparent suicide victim and was largely criticized for being insensitive towards mental illness and those who have attempted or committed suicide.

He later deleted the video from his channel after it had received over six million views.

The controversy also led to questions about whether YouTube should pay Logan Paul more than $4 million per year because of how much money he makes from the site through ads and sponsorships.
