Logan Paul explains why he might go on a hiatus from YouTube Logan Paul Vlogs, YouTubeWhile Logan Paul is most famous for the multiple scandals that have occurred throughout his YouTube career, the vlogger might be taking a break from the platform very soon. Paul uploaded a lengthy message to his Instagram story on March 23, where he claimed that being a YouTuber is \u201cwack\u201d and expressed a desire to do \u201cmore\u201d with his career than creating videos. His statement earned him widespread backlash, prompting an interview with Drama Alert\u2019s Daniel \u2018KEEMSTAR\u2019 Keem, where he explained the reasoning behind his statement. I\u2019m in LA, I\u2019m in Hollywood,\u201d Paul said of the post. \u201cI go to an event and there are A-List actors my age there, and me, as the competitive person I am, I say to myself, \u2018I want that. I want that level of respect.\u2019\u201d The YouTuber stated that he hopes to get into a slew of other career options, including filmmaking, music, and even comedy, to which he referenced popular comedian Kevin Hart in his interview with KEEMSTAR. \u201cI\u2019ll see Kevin Hart or Chris D\u2019eLia doing stand-up comedy and a part of me wants to go try that,\u201d Paul continued. \u201cBut you don\u2019t just try that \u2013 people dedicate their whole lives to that and become experts at it.\u201d Despite Paul\u2019s misgivings, KEEMSTAR argued that YouTube is the new wave for entertainers, explaining in a Twitter video prior to their interview that YouTubers are able to create content and make something of themselves without requiring the input of a massive team \u2013 unlike Hollywood. \u201cDude, what is wrong with you, bro?\u201d KEEMSTAR asked in the video. \u201cThis mainstream Hollywood stuff\u2026 It\u2019s thousands of people getting together to create a piece of work. \u2026.YouTube is democratic. The people are picking the winners and losers.\u201d This isn\u2019t the first time Paul has expressed distaste with YouTube, either; he likewise claimed that he wanted to be seen as more than just a YouTuber in an interview with Access in December of 2018, claiming that there was a \u201cstigma\u201d around the occupation. \u201cI see myself as so much more than the \u2018controversial YouTuber,\u2019\u201d Paul said in the interview. \u201cI have a little bit of an uphill battle currently \u2013 my fault \u2013 but I think the stigma of being a YouTuber is getting old. It\u2019s time for me to exceed expectations.\u201d Paul is no stranger to Hollywood, either; the YouTuber was featured in the upcoming remake of classic film \u2018Valley Girl,\u2019 as well as his very own movie \u2018Airplane Mode.\u2019 Paul\u2019s statement on the matter follows news of YouTuber Lilly Singh\u2019s late night talk show, \u2018A Little Late with Lilly Singh,\u2019 which will air on NBC in place of the long-running \u2018Last Call with Carson Daly.\u2019 In fact, Paul even congratulated Singh on her success, despite many top YouTubers on the platform taking issue with her \u2013 including YouTube king Felix \u2018PewDiePie\u2019 Kjellberg. View this post on InstagramI can\u2019t even believe I am writing this caption. This is so surreal. What is happening? I NEED TO SIT DOWN. Okay. *breathe* I\u2019m THRILLED (and crying) to announce that ya girl is getting her own @nbc late night show! AHHHHHHH!! And not only did I get to announce this dream come true on @fallontonight but @sethmeyers came out and surprised me as well! I\u2019m so grateful and overwhelmed to be joining this incredible family. I\u2019m numb. I can\u2019t even process. This has been SO long in the making and I\u2019m so happy I can finally share this with you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! There\u2019s so many people to thank and I will do so over the next few (or hundred) posts. Watch the segment live at 11:30pm est! And now\u2026 it\u2019s time to work. It\u2019s time to make magic. It\u2019s time to hustle harder than ever before. Blessings :pray::skin-tone-4: #LillyOnFallon #TeamSuperAllDay Logan Paul likewise unveiled his Flat Earth \u2018documentary\u2019 on March 20 just ahead of his Instagram post, which many thought to have taken inspiration from YouTuber Shane Dawson\u2019s documentary series. However, Paul\u2019s \u2018mockumentary\u2019 played out more like a comedy sketch, rather than an informative film \u2013 which earned him massive backlash from the Flat Earth community. Despite this hiccup, Paul seems to be dead set on a major career change, following the debut of both his animated series and his collaborative series with friend and comedian \u2018Dwarf Mamba.\u2019 After getting his start on Vine, Logan Paul shifted to becoming a full-time YouTuber; with his wide portfolio of works, fans could very well see the vlogger make yet another massive change in the next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
