It was less than a week after Logan Paul’s post-scandal return to regular vlogging that YouTube ”temporarily” suspended ads on his channel. The company’s decision reflects its promise to investigate further consequences for Paul specifically, as well as policies that would punish creators who do harm to the YouTube community. In a statement to The Verge, a spokesperson said the decision was not made lightly: “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.”

It’s no surprise that YouTube would give Paul’s channel extra scrutiny following the blowup, and yet his inability to amend his behavior to prevent further sanctions is sheer stupidity. The worst of the Aokigahara forest controversy is over, and Logan Paul didn’t learn a damn thing. “Even though I fucked up, like I’m an idiot, it doesn’t feel good to have millions of people to tell you to go die,” Paul says in his first vlog this week. But he promptly switches from that rare moment of reflection to talking about “getting yoked” at the gym and the engagement his Instagram photos have been getting. “I am probably like the most soundbiteable motherfucker on planet Earth,” he boasts. “I am a walking soundbite.”
