YouTube said Wednesday it is removing popular American celebrity YouTuber Logan Paul from its Google Preferred platform and putting future projects with him on hold, after Paul posted a video on the platform that included footage of a suicide victim in Japan.
"In light of recent events, we have decided to remove Logan Paul's channels from Google Preferred. Additionally, we will not feature Logan in season 4 of 'Foursome' and his new Originals are on hold," said Alphabet Inc.'s YouTube in a statement.
Google Preferred features YouTube's most popular content in packages for sale to advertisers. Paul, 22, is one of YouTube's top content creators, regularly drawing millions of views from his mainly youth-orientated audience.
