YouTube has taken further action against social media star Logan Paul, dropping the vlogger from its Google Preferred program, which is meant to be a mark of trust to signal to advertisers they can rely on these media creators to generate higher quality content.
After Paul posted a video of a dead body he filmed hanging from a tree in Japan’s colloquially titled ‘suicide forest,’ it’s no surprise that YouTube and Google would want him out of its Preferred program. Paul isn’t cut off from all advertising benefits on YouTube, however, and can still use the YouTube Partner Program to monetize videos.
