It’s Time to STOP the Logan Paul Loophole (MatPat Reaction)
Hey guys, I know that this is definitely NOT a Game Theory, and IRL reactions are something I’ve never really done like this. While I definitely don’t intend on making this kind of video a regular presence on the channel, in this very special instance I felt so strongly about the issue that I wanted to say something on a personal note. Thanks for all your support and for checking out this very special video from me, and as always, thanks for watching!
You’ve no doubt heard the story over the last week. Viner turned social media star Logan Paul uploaded an exploitative and disrespectful video. A LOT has already been said about that. Instead, I’m here today to comment on YouTube’s response. A week after the video, YouTube released an open letter saying that it will take steps to address the situation, but as we all know, they sometimes OVERCORRECT in times like this. So before YouTube takes any actions that might potentially harm the creators and viewers on this platform, I have a few words that I’d like to share.

I really hope whatever YouTube does doesn't kill off the animation community for a second time. We just got here…again. Also would like to thank Matt for helping me get my monetization re-enabled for my channel (after waiting an entire month of being ignored by YouTube). Really awesome guy.
that early end
At least the cat videos were harmless….
All the logical reasoning of Matpat with solid facts and proofs and yet we have over 900+ Logan Fangirls who disliked the video despite all that
Solve the mystery of who killed captain Alex
You are waaaaay too insightful on the inner mechanisms of YouTube….
I like that!
Perfectly stated! And this is why I love this channel.
tbh i dont think that logan guy cares what happens to anyone or anything as long as he gets attention
Good open letter style video. I agree that the hunt for logan is a little crazy. My issue is with how youtube treats other channels and how quickly they strike someone for even the slightest mistake (or if someone just goes as far as to claim that someone did something bad) vs. How long they took to do or even say anything about logan just shows the obvious favoritism.
STOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPIIIIIITTTTTTT
We reached out to 2018 for light then we literally threw ourselves into the darkness without trying
Ok yea that was star wars reference
Really dude? 12 days later? Try'n get that youtube money late in the game?
Thanks for this! Yeah, it's been like that for years now that drama and controversy just get you to the top faster, which is in my opinion toxic for the platform because…well, eventually someone will figure out something that blows up even more, just for the views and money, and we all saw what that looks like on new years. In a smaller sense, it also causes people to create fake drama, pitting fan communities against each other and all the stuff you normally wouldn't want on your site from a community managers perspective.
Controversy is far to effect for publicity, I mean look at me I only know Logan Paul exists because of this BS.
#STOPTHELOGANPAULLOOPHOLE
He now gets a third of his add revenue
I called it immediately as an intentional P.R. stunt. I went so far as to imagine him paying a scout to lead him to a body just to pull it off.
Matpatt you are one of my top 3 faivroute youtubers. You dont just putout content for us(the views) but also the outer youtubers and you look out for them like a big brother. Thank you for being out there for all of us.
They actually did something to Logan they cancelled his youtube red movie which is a major hit in his and their own revenue and they litteraly cut his ad revenue by 50% good job youtube good job you didn’t harm any other creators in this process only thing you did harm was his channel and yourself slightly
good vid, like this kind of video as well even it has nothing to do with gaming but bad outro lol 😛
Not you too dude… Nah
Hey i lost my pin can i have yours
This video needs to reach YouTube
This really is an upsetting loophole. Makes me wonder how I can get ahead with my own efforts.
Yo they lost there show on youtube XD
Don't worry Mat, the Jake Paulers and Logangsters Don't understand anything you said. The words are too hard for them, they're too young.
Shouldn't this be on like, idk, on film theory, cus youtube is more film than game.
Where is part 2
you say dont delete his channel, but what other deterrent would suffice? I will admit that i haven't seen any of the videos on the subject from the channel, as from what i heard, they dont deserve the publicity, so i dont know how extreme the case is beyond the buzz from other creators. ban, block, privatizing, deleting, all those solutions can be countered (second channel), but it at least tells the world that youtube the platform has rules and will enforce them…
Bye, ads!
What a great way to start 2018.
I hope the animation community still stand up, not just for me, if not for all the creators, if not for the viewers.
And I can not believe that bieng a d*** head can get you to the top.
This site is one of the biggest, and thus they act like they were begging.
They don’t really care anymore.
In my opinion jake and logan paul are dumb AF
To logan (Who will never see this)
Suicide and Death are not a funny thing to make a video on
To Jake (Who Will Also Never See This)
Saying the n word is not okay (not trying to be racist but mostly when you are white)
I honestly hate them and think they both have had 1 to many chances
Anyone who likes them can idc
Thank you to Everybody who took time of there life to read this y'all amazing
Also to matpat (who theres a 0.10% chance will see this)
I love your videos. Think I first started watching you around your 1st fnaf theory and then started to binge all of your videos when I finshed that I just went onto Film Theory And GTlive you are Like my favorite youtuber
Again to anyone who read that thank you I love you guys all so much.
I think the video cut off a little early
I'm sure they'll find a way to balls it up and screw us all. I'd say just warn their accounts permanently and ban tgem if they have another breach in the guidelines. That or permanently demonetize their channels. Honestly, they keep doing the same crap. Any smaller channel would've been deleted by now.
Youtube probobly gonna do nothing
For years I’ve used this platform to watch videos made by wonderful, dedicated creators who I can never fully appreciate. I have just been sitting passively by and watching from a select few of my favorite, most trusted channels. And the longer I have, the more I’ve seen how poorly YouTube treats them, for all the awesome, quality content they make. Until a while ago, I just ignored most of the problems with this broken system. Who am I but some random person sitting on their couch watching these videos? What reason do I have to care about channels? Honestly, this channel is the reason I decided to even make this profile, so that I could interact with the community. If it weren’t for MatPat, I wouldn’t have given a thought about how I could help a channel, even with a single subscription. Every time I see a Game Theory episode go up, it makes my day. Every time I see a GTLive start, I feel like it’s a chance to hang out with Mat and Steph. This channel is, by far, the best I have seen, and I hope that it lasts for years to come. I know I’ve been going on for a while here, so TL;DR, I love you MatPat. Platonically speaking.
"to act acord…" …what? …the suspense is killing me
Personally I just want to make reviews and fun stuff I don't want to be popular I just want to have some fun.
Can't they just give his channel strike as punishment? What more do they need to do. Once he's sitting at 2 strikes for his stupid antics he's gonna start being alot more careful.
Lol the end when it cuts out
