And for however long you watch, that person will be the face of your YouTube. I guarantee you will find someone else out there talking about it for you. Type in something you’re too afraid to talk about out loud. But instead of clicking on his apology video and giving him yet another view, I’m going to ask you to go to YouTube and type something else into the search bar. You want to soak up the drama and maybe write an angry comment. You want to scroll through Twitter to see his reactions to this scandal in real time. Right now, if you’re anything like me and haven’t already done so, you probably want to Google Logan Paul and read all about his fall from grace. One girl said she watched my videos with her therapist. We’ve received dozens of messages saying that watching us made people feel more comfortable in their own skin. Even more people reached out to Gaby to thank her for representing bisexuality in a positive way. People from all over the world reached out and thanked me for being so open about my struggle with mental illness. But then Gaby and I started “Just Between Us” and I was shocked by the response. In a lot of ways I felt so represented I was almost a living stereotype.

I saw and identified with aspects of myself on TV and in movies all the time. I grew up a white Jewish girl from an affluent part of New York. I never understood the importance of representation until I was an adult.
You can take our ad money, but you can’t take our freedom to upload. But unlike the rest of Hollywood, these molds will not break us. To his small credit, Paul never monetized the video in question (creators can choose whether or not to apply for ads), but his well-watched and monetized apology video certainly made him money.Īs is still common across Hollywood, the odds continue to be stacked against creators who do not fit a certain mold. Through sketch comedy and a fake advice show, we talk about mental illness, the LGBTQ community, sex positivity and a variety of other topics that YouTube has recently deemed “unsuitable for most advertisers.” Logan Paul, a straight, white male who films stunts with his friends, had no problem maintaining advertisers until he showed an actual dead body. With more than 757,000 subscribers, we are considered a medium-sized channel. Since then we have made over 300 videos and obtained over 130,00,000 views. I started a YouTube channel with my best friend, Gaby Dunn, in April of 2014.
