YouTube vlogger Logan Paul has been penalised by the video-sharing site following a clip of the controversial star tasering dead rats.
In the video, Paul, 22, can be seen shooting the weapon at multiple dead rats he has found outside his home.
This is the second time the vlogger’s antics have landed him in hot water, as last month he was suspended from YouTube’s paid-content programme after he uploaded a video of himself in Japan’s Aokigahara Forest, a known location for committing suicide.
In the video, Paul was accused of to ‘make light’ of suicides, even commenting: “Yo, are you alive?” to a dead body hanging from the trees.
Japanese Police were reportedly keen to speak to the YouTuber following the video’s upload.
Paul’s most recent rat-taser video proves he’s yet to learn from his mistakes, resulting in YouTube removing all advertising from his videos.
This will be a bit hit for the star who is said to have earned a staggering £9.25m from his videos last year alone.
A YouTube spokesperson has since commented: “We believe he has exhibited a pattern of behaviour in his videos that makes his channel not only unsuitable for advertisers, but also potentially damaging to the broader creator community.”
Twitter users have taken to the site to express their disgust at the vlogger, using the hashtag ‘#LoganPaulIsOverParty’ with some users even blaming the hosting site for not penalizing him sooner.
It took two dead rats for @YouTube to demonetize @LoganPaul‘s videos. His outraging videos in Japan were deeply offensive but @Google didn’t see any problems with them…but dead rats are unbearable. #loganpaulisoverparty

Why do we live in a world in which making fun of suicide and making a show of torturing dead animals is rewarded and allowed to exist on a platform that I once had so much respect for? #YouTube #loganpaulisoverparty
