Where do I begin…
Lets start with this Im sorry, Paul wrote in a statement posted to social media.
This is a first for me.
Ive never faced criticism like this before, because Ive never made a mistake like this before.
Im surrounded by good people and believe I make good decisions, but Im still a human being.
I can be wrong.
I didnt do it for views.
I get views, he continued.
Thats never the intention.
They proceed to film the body and call out to it.
This is a first for me, Paul said in the video after finding the body.
Suicide is not a joke.
Depression and mental illnesses are not a joke.
We came here to focus on the haunted aspect of the forest, this just became very real.
A lot of people are going through a lot of sh in their lives.
This was all going to be a joke, he said later in the video.
Why did it become so real?
Portions of the video have since been reposted across YouTube as the backlash continued to brew.
You disgust me,The Pathactor Aaron Paul (no relation) tweeted to Paul.
I cant believe that so many young people look up to you.
Hopefully, this latest video woke them up.
You are pure trash.
Suicide is not a joke.
Go rot in hell.
Youre not raising awareness.
I cant believe how self-praising your apology is.
You dont deserve the success (views) you have.
I pray to God you never have to experience anything like that man did.
YouTube personality Lilly Singh tweeted a less direct response to Pauls video.
Imagine if everyone who had power and massive influence used it for good?
yo dont let @youtube views alter your values and morals.
Common sense over ad sense.
In addition to his YouTube channel, Paul also appeared in the filmThe Space Between Usand YouTube RedsThe Thinning.
It wont happen again.
