Jake Paul reveals legal reasons behind quitting YouTube Jake Paul is more than a mere YouTube star: having founded his own business, created music, and even dipped into a professional boxing career, it seems like this internet sensation is moving on from the \u201cYouTube\u201d label for good. While Paul has hinted at leaving YouTube behind before, it seems like he\u2019s finally done with the platform, as stated in a video uploaded on November 27 titled, \u201cI\u2019m quitting YouTube. Here\u2019s why.\u201d In the video, Paul and his crew travel to San Diego for a training camp with pro boxer Ryan Garcia, where the YouTuber admitted that he doesn\u2019t exactly want to be a \u201cYouTuber\u201d anymore. While he\u2019s previously cited such reasons as YouTube\u2019s divisive stance on demonetization and child-friendly content (seen in the FTC\u2019s COPPA ruling), Jake admitted that he had received four lawsuits from filming videos \u2013 a major factor in his choice to step away from the website. \u201cWhy am I like, waking up every single day to film YouTube videos that are just getting me in trouble?\u201d Paul revealed. \u201cGetting me in lawsuits \u2013 like, I have four lawsuits from filming YouTube videos \u2013 when I can do something I love waking up and doing that pushes me mentally to a place that I haven\u2019t ever been before?\u201d (Timestamp: 13:05 for mobile readers) That \u201csomething\u201d is boxing, which Paul has been ardently pursuing as a professional career since his KO victory against YouTuber Deji in 2018. Claiming that he \u201cfeels like himself in the ring,\u201d Paul went on to admit that he wouldn\u2019t ever truly \u201cstop\u201d his work on YouTube \u2013 but he\u2019s taking a big mental step back from the content creation grind to focus on training. \u201cI\u2019ll always produce YouTube content,\u201d he continued. \u201cBut I think waking up and having YouTube be the only thing on your mind is a lot of YouTubers\u2019 mentalities.\u201d While Paul has yet to reveal his next opponent, he hopes to face off with the likes of Joe Weller, KSI, and even Deji, once more, who also revealed that he\u2019s stepping back into the sport earlier in November. With both Jake and Logan Paul looking to step away from YouTube to pursue fighting, Jake\u2019s latest video could hint at a significant shift for some of the platform\u2019s most prominent personalities to date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
