YouTube has put its original projects with vlogger Logan Paul on hold, 11 days after he faced heavy backlash over an insensitive video he posted featuring a suicide victim.
The streaming service removed Paul from its Google Preferred program, which gives brands access to the top 5 percent of creators on the platform for ad-selling, the platform announced Wednesday (Jan. 10).
"In light of recent events, we have decided to remove Logan Paul’s channels from Google Preferred," a YouTube spokeswoman said in a statement. "Additionally, we will not feature Logan in season four of ‘Foursome’ and his new Originals are on hold."
