Description: In late December of 2017, Logan Paul uploaded a vlog in which he and friends visited the Aokigahara Forest, also known as the "suicide forest." While in the forest, he and his friends stumbled upon the body of a man who had recently committed suicide. They filmed the man up close, blurring, but still featuring him. They included his picture on the front of their video. Shortly after this video was uploaded, he received tons of backlash, even from other prominent YouTubers. This article discusses YouTube's delayed response to the issue, which angered many. It quite is similar to the PewDiePie controversy. A YouTube spokesperson announced that the platform will strip Paul’s videos from its top-tier monetized system. Additionally, YouTube has canceled plans to produce a new film starring Paul, and he will not appear in the upcoming season of a YouTube Red series in which he previously starred.

Description: This article is infamous in the YouTube community. The publishing of the article is the beginning of a huge amount of drama and controversy between PewDiePie, The Wall Street Journal, and YouTube. Felix Kjellberg, the most subscribed person on YouTube, paid two Indian men on the website Fiverr to hold up a sign saying, "Death to all Jews." Though PewDiePie did not do this out of malicious intent but for comedic purposes, the video generated a ton of conversation and controversy about YouTube creators and their influence on their viewers. The Wall Street Journal took notice and began to take clips from PewDiePie's videos out of context, where he included images of Nazis, as well as Felix being dressed like one.
