Likely a topic for another thread but.. when someone makes a mistake and it's posted online, how long and how much should they suffer for that mistake?  I'm seeing a recurring theme that as the internet generation, schadenfreude has been cranked up to 11.

I don't think that's a good thing.

Yep

That Japanese guy has a phone in his front pocket.  Probably one of those bad ass phones from the future...lucky.

I watched the original video before Youtube yanked it. I think it may be over on Liveleak. Will have to check..

Ok here it is.

Video

The YouTuber gains around 40,000 new subscribers everyday. On Tuesday, this dropped to just 16,000 but by the following day, it had rocketed up to more than 80,000.

Logan is worth a reported $14 million that mostly comes from his social media accounts where he gets paid to endorse various products in front of his more than 13 million subscribers on YouTube.

He currently has 15 million subscribers on his YouTube channel - which was the first to get to 1 million subscribers in the history of the site. He's also appeared in commercials for brands ranging from Hanes to HBO. He has almost 4 million followers on Twitter, 16.1 million followers on Instagram and 16.6 million followers on Facebook.

According to Forbes, Logan makes $150,000 per Facebook post and $80,000 for sponsored content on Instagram.

He has tried his hand at acting in TV and films, with guest roles in Law And Order: Special Victims Unit and YouTube Red thrilled The Thinning

He also sells his own line of merchandise through his company called Maverick.





He has since bought a new, 15,000-square-foot property in Calabasas

suicide "victim"?

the person knew exactly what they were doing. Not a victim

Give him a little makeup and he'd fit right in as a rodeo clown.

Gotta hand it to the guy. He found a way to succeed where many many others failed on YouTube.

Holy shit. This 22-year-old Youtube "star" has a target audience of preteens and freaking 10-year-olds. What parents are letting their youngsters watch this crap and buy his stuff? Those are the folks who made this jackass a millionaire, not his actual target audience. So in other words, it's not "the  millenials," it's US! All of us disengaged distant relatives who push gift cards into young relatives hands for Christmas and birthdays, and the parents who are letting the kids watch this content, and spend dollars in support of him and his advertisers, however unwittingly...yeesh.

And, not trying to pick a fight w/ the poster I quoted, but the pic of the Calabassas ostentatious mansion he included was, I think, actually bought by his younger bro, who was earlier this past year terrorizing his West Hollywood ritzy neighbors with his own YouTube "pranks" and hi-jinks, if I parsed the DM puff piece correctly. Not to worry, the older bro this thread is about has a $6.5 or 7 million showpiece as well, just not that one, I think. Thank god their "parents" stopped at the two boys, lol. Not sure the Youtube/self-lionization era of today could have handled three, like the Hansons of a previous era.

YouTube distances itself from Logan Paul as it drops him from comedy series in the wake of suicide video scandal

YouTube revealed on Wednesday it was cutting Logan Paul's subscriber channels

All of Logan's original projects have also been put on hold and he has been axed from the original YouTube comedy series Foursome

His subscriber channels are also being removed as a preferred ad partner

It comes after the 22-year-old faced backlash for a disturbing suicide video he posted last week that showed a corpse hanging from a tree

YouTube was heavily criticized for not quickly responding to the shocking video
