Logan Paul’s Statement on Quitting YouTube:
Logan Paul started the text by saying that YouTube is dope and then moving on to say that being a YouTuber is whack!!!
His words are quoted below:
“YouTube’s dope. Internet-based content is awesome. But I have a very deep desire to do more. Stand-up comedy, music, directing films, writing. I am just stuck in a loop where my stupid millennial brain is so satisfied with the instant gratification that social media provides. Post a vlog, get views, post a pic, get likes… it’s like I have been conditioned to lack the patience of investing in the deeper art of entertainment. Do I continue making internet shit? Or do I take 1-2 of low-profile character building to become a super entertainer? I don’t want to be a YouTuber for the rest of my life. Fuck that. I think being a “YouTuber” is whack… it’s a very limiting pigeonhole that will not provide the longevity of stardom I am looking for… some1 give me answers pls.”
He teased in his post of taking a year or two of break from YouTube to focus on his career to achieve his goals which he seems to be unable to achieve from being a YouTuber.

Backlash at Paul’s Statement:
Paul has been in controversy since his message as he has been receiving ample backlash from celebrities and commoners alike. Even the Drama Alert host Daniel KEEMSTAR Keem has uploaded a message for Logan Paul on his Twitter saying “Dude, what is wrong with you, bro? This mainstream Hollywood stuff… It’s thousands of people getting together to create a piece of work. ….YouTube is democratic. The people are picking the winners and losers.”
Some users claimed that Paul’s message was a reaction to the sudden decline of his YouTube channel, although he has been gaining a steady amount of subscribers in the past few days.
One commoner commented on Twitter: “Every YouTuber whose channel is going downhill says, ‘I’m aShAmEd tO bE a yOuTuBeR,’ nothing new!”
Whether or not he quit YouTube is a mystery yet to be solved though!
