What’s up guys, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. with
Clevver News, and the sun might be setting
on Jake Paul’s YouTube career as he claims
the platform is a “dead end” and is putting
much more focus on his music career.
Jake Paul is ready to say goodbye to the platform
that put his controversial career on the map,
as he admitted that he’s outgrown the YouTube
scene during a night out with Tana Mongeau
over the weekend.
On Saturday, paparazzi caught up with a very
obliterated Jake after having drinks with
Tana at Saddle Ranch, where he revealed that
he’s done with YouTube, in large part due
to the pay… or lack thereof.
“I don’t f*** with that YouTube s***.
It’s just dead-end.
They don’t pay s***.
F*** you, YouTube.”
So we’ve all heard the saying, “drunk
words are sober thoughts,” buuuut we’ve
also heard Jake say he’s quitting YouTube
many times before, like back in 2017, 2018
AND 2019…
Jake went on to explain that he has plenty
of other ways to make money, through his music
and the company, Fanjoy.
Another possible reason for Jake wanting to
quit the platform could be in large part due
to the recent raid at his Calabasas home after
the FBI issued a federal search warrant.
Jake previously clarified what happened in
a since-deleted YouTube video, admitting that
the FBI raid was “entirely related to the
Arizona looting situation that happened,”
and once again assured the paparazzi on Saturday
night that everything was fine.
He said, “People want to make light of certain
situations and put you in the news for crazy
s**t, but everything’s good.”
However, when watching the paparazzi interview,
fans became worried for Jake as he didn’t
appear to be “fine.”
One user commented, “Why does it seem like
he’s not in a good place rn.”
Another person said, “I feel like Jake lives
such a lonely and sad life.
Everyone he surrounds himself with just uses
him.
He has money but as you can see it does not
make him happy.”
In the since-deleted video, Jake seemed to
hint at the fact that vlogging would no longer
be a part of his life, saying QUOTE, “My
goal right now is to continue to focus on
my life, myself, boxing and music.”
He even thanked fans for their continued support
and for sticking by his side through the crazy
times.
Jake’s last vlog was posted three weeks
ago on August 2nd, where he and Logan Paul
address their issues face-to-face.
Although it doesn’t seem like a long time
to be away from the platform, Jake typically
posts vlogs multiple times a week, so he could
very well be stepping away for the time being.
Fans have been sending in their reactions
about Jake’s departure, and are thrilled
to help bid him adieu.
Many took to Twitter to share comments like,
“He’s quitting YouTube, we won, guys,”
and, “Hope he stays gone.”
Speaking of quitting YouTube, the platform’s
protege duo that is the Dolan Twins revealed
during a recent episode of Logan Paul’s
Impaulsive podcast that they’d like to ‘retire
or reinvent’ their YouTube channel.
While chatting with Logan, about their upcoming
podcast, Deeper with the Dolan Twins, Grayson
revealed QUOTE, “It’s just an open conversation,
like I have so much s**t on my mind that I
wish I could say on YouTube, but YouTube is
just not the place.
That’s for premium entertainment.”
Ethan went on to admit that as soon as the
cameras turn on, he feels trapped in his 17-year-old
body trying to put out content that his audience
likes, adding, “I have to act the same way
that I did when it was working.
But I’m gonna go f**king insane.
We just tried to film a video and it completely
failed just because I was like, ‘I don’t
feel like myself when the camera’s on.’”
The news comes a year after Ethan and Grayson
got real with their fans about how uploading
content every week for five years straight
was taking a toll on their mental health.
The tearful video was posted last October,
as the guys talked to Shane Dawson about their
health, and how they felt they needed to take
some time to focus on themselves.
The guys once again revealed that they felt
forced to mask their real emotions while filming,
and that they felt they were being “fake
on camera.”
Unlike Jake, fans were quick to clarify that
they are HUGE fans of the Dolan twins.
One user wrote, “It kinda hurts that Grayson
and Ethan think that we don’t want to see
the things that interest them.
Like I would love to watch their skate videos
and cliff jumping and stuff like that.
I love watching grays vids abt building and
really anything they put out.”
Another fan said, “I would watch Grayson
Dolan paint his house with a toothbrush.”
This just goes to show that wherever these
guys decide to take their career, their fans
will be with them every step of the way!
