Logan Paul has made his comeback on YouTube – but people aren’t sure how to feel
YouTube star tries to make amends by raising suicide awareness, saying he had lacked sensitivity because he had never known anyone who had taken their own life

YouTube personality Logan Paul is back, and asking for a second chance after the whole ‘filming a deceased body in Japan’s suicide forest’ debacle.
If you missed out on that saga, Paul managed to anger just about everyone and anyone by posting a distasteful video filmed during his trip to Aokigahara, Japan – and it ended with YouTube removing him from its Google Preferred platform and putting future projects with him on hold.
But after taking a three week hiatus from vlogging to “reflect”, he released a video on Wednesday (Jan 24) about suicide awareness. It has already garnered more than 4 million views, at the time of writing.
Adopting a solemn tone in the video, Paul says: “It’s time to learn from the past as I get better, and grow as a human being”.
“I’m here to have a hard conversation”.
