Digital Desires #25: Logan Paul

Celebrity vlogger Logan Paul got himself into hot water for posting a video called “We found a dead body in the Japanese Suicide Forest” on YouTube. The video shows Logan and his brother Jakel wandering through Aokigahara, an infamous suicide spot, where they found the body of someone who appeared to have taken their own life and proceeded to joke about it. Was this stunt an effort to raise awareness about mental awareness or a cynical ploy to gain more followers and clicks? Fuad and Vizla discuss.
