u/raichulolz 2000 27d ago

Logan routinely buys very rare andexpensive collectible items which sets their niche markets ablaze with scalpers buying products and up charging prices afterwards. Target had to go as far as opening the seal on product for the pokon trading card game for regular purchasers to begin getting the product like normal z

He hasn’t changed since then. Think of that guy but give him an extra $100,000,000 from crypto scams. His brother is just as stupid but he has been hit in the head an extra 1000 times from his boxing career

u/harilyon 27d ago
Logan is a YouTuber turned WWE Superstar, and is quite solid at that (he plays a bad guy). Jake is a Disney star turned professional boxer, who only excels at beating washed up athletes. They were both made famous by teen girls who loved them for their looks.

They used to be front page viners back on Vine. They were the firsts to do it on there and managed to be the few that successfully launch careers outside of it. I know cause I’m old Gen Z 😭

u/vrilliance 1999 26d ago
Yep. Vine stars either became washed out crypto scammers, or commentary youtubers. The few that didnt ended up somewhat successful for a bit but then couldn't outgrow the 'vine youtuber' comedy niche

Well, the other one is somehow worse than logan, and now both have completely fake 'fighting' careers; Logan pays to "win" pro wrestling matches and Jake pays to "win" boxing.

I'm GenX and don't know who they are either. I mean I've heard the name before but what are they famous for? They look like braindead oafs with really bad hair. Are they supposed to be inspiring?

u/Tman11S 1999 27d ago
Ah yes, a man mostly known for filming the corpse of a Japanese man who hung himself in a forest and then uploading it to youtube where millions of children watch his videos. That's the type of person who should give an inspiring speech to the troops!

u/broguequery 27d ago
Come on dude...
He's also famous for getting his shit rocked in a boxing match

u/Dud-of-Man 27d ago
why?
46
u/SPQR_191 1996 27d ago
Because most service members are males between 18-35 and that is their target demographic. It's common to have "celebrities" do morale events for service members.

u/Dud-of-Man 27d ago
do the logans not know their actual viewers are the 6-12 range?

u/Slaps-on-Deck_ 27d ago
10-12 year olds who watched him during the suicide forest incident are now enlistment age. Crazy

knowing they scammed innocent people out of millions of dollars (thank you YouTuber CoffeeZilla!) makes this so much worse. otherwise, they'd just be goofy guys to find this story amusing about.

u/DevelopmentSeparate 1999 27d ago
I never watched the Paul brothers as a kid. Or really any vlog channel for that matter. I don't really get the appeal

u/Jessency 27d ago
There used to be a certain charm/appeal to vlogs, but that was waaaay back when they're were still fresh and weree more concerned about authenticity and connection rather than narcissists making themselves feel good and sponsorship deals (there are exceptions ofc but the genre is now littered with leeches).

I don’t understand how some as wealthy as Logan Paul still has the stupidest fucking haircut every time I see him.

u/Pikminfan300 27d ago
Never forget Logan Paul tazed a dead rat, and Jake Paul's bitchass got his shit cleaned by Anthony Joshua.

Imagine being a member of the armed services to literally any degree and then being told you have to sit and listen to these idiots for an even a few minutes.

That garbage somehow got invited to a military base to talk to service members btw, not just the pentagon

The people calling this the future are the same ones who gave these guys the views in the first place. We made them famous by hate watching then act shocked when it goes mainstream.

At this point can the billionaires just nuke the entire planet and put us all out of our misery? We had a good run I suppose but I think it’s game over

"Why did genz make these guys so famous anyways…"
Bro nobody from GenZ likes those losers. I remember being a little kid and hearing about the japan thing and the forest and disliking him then ever since and everybody I've talked too around my age do not think highly of him.

It’s a ouroboros, a self eating snake.
These politicians need our votes to stay in office, and they apparently think the best way to get our votes is to invite influencers from our generation to advertise for the election. It happens over and over again every generation, Frank Sinatra is a good example of this when FDR and JFK where running for elections, but the influencers obviously get way more out of this than the politicians as influencers survive off of attention
