Suicide Forest Controversy: Paul uploaded a video to his YouTube channel that he had filmed at Aokigahara at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan on December 31, 2017. This area is commonly known as the suicide forest as it is a place many people have gone to commit suicide. Paul’s video showed a dead body hanging from a tree. The video had 6.3 million views within 24 hours of being uploaded. Several online petitions were created urging YouTube to delete Paul’s channel. Paul removed the video from his YouTube channel and issued a written apology on Twitter on January 1, 2018. On January 9, YouTube issued a statement via their Twitter account condemning Paul’s video. On January 10, YouTube announced it was removing Paul’s channels from its preferred ad program, Google Preferred. Paul was also fired from the YouTube Red series “Foursome.” In the aftermath, Paul donated $1 million to suicide prevention agencies.
Other Controversies: YouTube suspended all advertising on Paul’s channels in early February 2018 due to his “pattern of behavior.” YouTube was specifically referring to Paul taking part in the Tide Pod challenge, the time he took a out of his pond to, in his words, “jokingly give it CPR,” and the time he videoed himself using a taser gun on two dead rats. Paul received no revenue from his page views during that period. YouTube reinstated ads on his channel two weeks later. However, he remained on probation for 90-days, during which his channel and its content was not eligible to appear on the trending tab on YouTube.
Then, in January 2019, Paul said in a bit on his podcast, “What is it, male-only March? … We’re gonna attempt to go gay for just one month.” There was widespread criticism aimed at Paul for his remarks, specifically that he implied that being homosexual is a choice.
