I mean yeah, it was ghoulish and fucked up. Logan Paul is a nasty piece of work through and through and probably the real life embodiment of the fears of many past generations about where photography and television would be taking us. But it's not like fascination for the morbid and graphic depictions of dead people and killings was exactly a new thing either, especially on the Internet. Paul is just bringing that whole entertainment edge to it. This is the price to pay for a commercial platform open to everyone and mostly everything (except sex and copyright violations). I don't think backpedaling to the pre-internet model is possible (nor that it was flawless) and I don't know how we could go forward in a positive direction from there.
The guy has a history of shit like this. Didn't he hide thousands of dollars somewhere and had a bunch of people fighting each other to find it?
IIRC during VidCon or YoutubeCon or WhateverCon he was attending. Though I'm not clear on who's who between the two brothers. They're also doing reckless shit in their backyard (setting fire with flames going several meters up in an empty pool), making their whole neighborhood miserable, made a video saying their car accident was provoked by one of said neighbors SABOTAGING THEIR WHEELS, and often will make no effort to respect any common sense guidelines (for instance, documenting on video the home adresses and car plates of several people without any blurring of framing).
