Former Vine-Star, Logan Paul, has been getting major heat from his Japan “suicide forest” video. With millions of followers, the video went viral on December 31st. The video included an unidentified man who had recently hung himself. The video continues to Logan stating, “suicide is a serious thing.” And some clips of Logan laughing at realizing what he had just filmed. Clearly, this got viewers upset, so he went on twitter the next day and posted an apology.

Stars like Breaking Bads’ Aaron Paul, Game of Thrones Sophie Turner were NOT having it and expressed it by dragging him on twitter on his video and apology. On January 2nd, he posted a video apology saying, “He doesn’t expect anyone to forgive him.” The video got over 24 million views and get this…He’s STILL making money off the video. Viewers were not letting him off the hook because it’s being reported that he’s made between $7,000 to $56,000 or and they had some thoughts…
Logan Paul monetizing his apology video for uploading a vlog in which he laughed at and zoomed into a dead body, which he also monetized, just further proves how ignorant and money hungry he is. Some people do not deserve the success and platforms they have.

Hey @LoganPaul you really want to apologize? Donate the $20,000.00 you just made on your MONETIZED apology video to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Set a real example. Stop with the crocodile tears. Do something that matters...

Logan pauls apology video about showing a lifeless body is monetized but my video giving advice about having small boobs is not. @YouTube my video is helping many young girls. Stop worrying about sexualizing SACKS OF FAT and get logan paul off of your platform. pic.twitter.com/5Hj0HWTcli

What do you guys think? Is it wrong for his video to be making money? And what should he do with the money?
