Logan Paul
Logan Paul published a video to YouTube that showed him walking through Japan's "suicide forest" and showing footage of a dead body hanging from a tree. He was also cracking jokes the entire time, and the extremely disrespectful clip earned him some major criticism. He apologized and said he was only trying to bring awareness to suicide prevention, but many people found that hard to believe. YouTube suspended his ad revenue, one of his biggest sources of income, after that.
Patrick Starrr
Starrr posted a photo of himself wearing a curly afro wig in 2017, but his followers didn't appreciate the "costume." They shamed him for attempting to "look black," and he lost tons of followers on YouTube. Fans take cultural appropriation seriously, even if influencers don't.
