Well, I guess I was running on the theory that Youtube would eventually find the need to ban or de-monitize him, though granted right now that may be thinking too highly of all the participants. But in the event Youtube DID get brave and shut him down, would his audience really not follow him to wherever? I guess his popularity may be more precarious than I think it is, but there are (I'm led to believe) many fans who make their own Youtube videos about why whatever Logan Paul is doing is OK and to take him off Youtube would be tantamount to a hate crime, you'd think if someone puts that much effort into their fandom, they'd put up the effort to add a new bookmark to LoganPaul dot com to their browser.
I say this as someone who's favorite web show, http://www.sfdebris.com/, isn't available on Youtube because they kept banning his channel for copyright even though his work clearly and obviously falls under fair use.
I have a Patreon for doll couture.
SVU did their Giggledygoop episode (and yes, I'm going to keep calling it that, it's a name as ridiculous as the movement itself), they cast Paul as the villain.
That's a bit of on the nose casting.
Boom, 4 million more followers.
Sadly, given Trump's election and the Brexit referendum's outcome, I think you're low-balling that figure.
I feel like either you didn't understand @Commander Zoom's post, or I really didn't understand it? It seems to be a response to the post Zilla360 made immediately before it:
And not in response to the strip itself, which is what you seem to have interpreted it as.
Huh. My bad. @Commander Zoom didn't quote the comment he was replying to, so I took it to mean that he was commenting on the strip itself, which does end on a question ("Is it possible that this [i.e. tazing dead rats] was some youthful, misguided attempt at defibrillation?") which could admit a yes-no answer.
Of course, while typing my original response, I was half-wondering exactly how many levels of irony the comment was operating on.
Agreed, and the only reason I know that is from seeing the dude's pic in some random news feed.
Sadly even after reading said news feed I still have no idea what this is all about. Some random idiot posting videos of random jackassery? Shocking, this has never happened before, the internet is reeling. *shrug*
No worries, just wanted to clarify.
Temporarily demonitized, then he gets another 1.4 million subscribers because the masses are fucking dumb to begin with, and whatever he lost is just a roadbump compared to what he's gained in subs. A business expense if you will.
And instead youtube rewards that shit because that is one of the few who make money. Slap the hand so the masses see 'justice done'. Theyll forget in 24hrs because we live in a 10hr news cycle.
He did it with that japanese suicide forest, and look how he managed to break through to complete public awareness. He knows the youtube algorithm and he knows how theyll respond now. And he doesnt give a fuck about everyone else that are being burned by youtube's reactionary policy because he got his.
So yes, there comes a point where one 'should' say, we no longer want to partner with you. Its just not the greaseballs at youtube.

as an aside, it's not given that a local place will be "vastly superior." your average "mom & pop" diner just throws together shit they buy off of the Sysco or Gordon Food Services truck.
Last two "mom & pop" diners in my town failed because of that. Can't get away with mom & pop prices for very long if you don't have the expected mom & pop quality. Meanwhile the chain convenience store/gas station/pizza & sub joint is still open and doing brisk business because the markup has not exceeded cost+convenience.
