Philip DeFranco has analysed this well and covered this in several videos, the latest being [1]. I agree with his analysis that the problem here is YT itself, not the content creators. I personally believe this latest development makes Logan Paul somewhat of a scapegoat, especially since his video apology [2] was one of the most sincere public apologies I've seen.

You mean the one where he attached an ad to so he made money off it? If he was sincere he would have turned that off like most apology videos.

Also let's not forget his history of racism towards Asians.

Why would he turn ads off if he was sincere? I don't really understand the relation.

I'd understand if you suggested that he donate the profits from the video to a suicide prevention charity or something similar. If I fuck up at work, I don't apologise and offer to work for free.

It's an YT apology etiquette. But donating it is also a great idea. Too bad he did neither like the dbag he is.
