I want to know the psychology of a YouTuber... do you think, to be a YouTuber, you have to have something off?
Since the beginning, I have always tried to just be me. There have been moments in my career as a YouTuber where I've recognized that I'm trying to emulate something else, or I'm being heavily influenced by a YouTuber or something like that, and I realize that's not what I want to be putting out.
If you see me as a controversial artist or controversial human being, then I could be cashing in on some reality shows. I am not doing anything like that. That's not my aim.
The word "YouTuber," even though - listen, I love YouTube, and I would never, ever abandon it, but I think when somebody says "Youtuber" it says "Oh, they talk about what they ate that day." That's not me - I do way more than that.
I'd be very controversial if I said why, and I don't do controversial anymore. That's too passé. So last year. Being controversial is boring now.
I'm not going to back down from my controversial positions. If I were to do that, my base would be gone. And so my strategy is just, continue to speak the truth, even if it is controversial.
Is it possible for Logan Paul to make a comeback or am I going to be a failed YouTuber?
I have comedic things in my stuff, but I don't consider myself a comedian. I'm just a YouTuber, I guess just a personality.
But, you know, sex is controversial, it just is and it always will be.
Controversial issues are always more interesting but I don't create material about a subject I have opinion on just because it's controversial. The most fun is having a point of view that the audience is generally against and presenting an argument that challenges their thinking.
I have to tell you, a few people had very controversial feelings about what I was doing with Gucci at the beginning, and now, after a couple of years, they are changing their minds. I want to give journalists the time and space to know me and what I'm doing better. But it's not a priority for me. At the end of the day, I am not an artist; I am not doing a performance; I'm doing things that need to be sold. And I know my job.
Whenever I feel bad, I go to the library and read controversial periodicals. Though I do not know whether I am a liberal or a conservative, I am nevertheless enlivened by the hatred which one bears the other. In fact, this hatred strikes me as one of the few signs of life remaining in the world.
I've always been called "controversial." I think if I were not controversial I wouldn't be doing my job.
I was always controversial, being gay, so nothing was more controversial than that.
Ultimately, I feel like there is just a pervasive evidence of God. Though I know that is maybe a controversial thing to say.
I've always been controversial because I offer new ideas. For me to be controversial, I think this is positive.
