Logan Paul wishes his fans were older. They're not.
Logan Paul
Logan Paul  has a legion of young fans  but  he 'd prefer it if they were older.
 Paul  sat down with Michael Strahan on Thursday's Good Morning America. It's a somewhat soft interview  considering the serious backlash he's faced after his suicide forest video. While  Paul  stands by the fact that  he  thinks releasing the video was wrong   he  also sidestepped some major responsibility as an "influencer" who makes millions of dollars off of  his  diehard fans  known as the Logang.
"When you put out content like that  do you realize the age of your audience?" Strahan asked  Paul  after admitting  his  own kids know the vlogger.
"It's odd because  Michael  I'm 22-years-old  it's not like I'm making content necessarily for kids. Sometimes I cuss  sometimes I make inappropriate jokes. I want to make jokes that kids my age are going to like. I am my own demographic "  Paul  responded."
While  Paul  admitting  he 's very much still a kid was pleasing to the ears  the fact that  he  thinks  his  demographic is 20-somethings is wishful thinking at best.  Paul  knows  his  fiercely faithful band of followers are mostly comprised of teens and tweens because  he  sees them all the time. They show up at  his  apartment  they ambushed  him  at VidCon  and stalk  him  outside  his  hotel room.  He 's been nominated for five Teen Choice Awards  and has won two.
 Paul  constantly thanks  his  young fans   he  releases videos of them going nuts for  him   and  he  also actively sells them merch.  Logan Paul  profits off children  without any of the responsibility or moral ethics that come with it.
 Paul  knows  his  fans are young   he  just wishes they were older.
"I'm gonna be honest with you  Michael. I think parents should be monitoring what their children are watching more "  Paul  said in the interview. "Every parent I meet who's kids are under the age of like 12 I go 'Hey  you let your kids watch my stuff?'"
And  Paul 's right  parents should monitor what their kids watch. But  Paul  has also made millions of dollars off of these kids  and if  he  is "starting a new chapter" in  his  life  maybe  he  should start by being a positive influence on the kids who follow  him .  He  needs to start by recognizing that it's 8 to 14-year-old who are  his  demographic  not 20-somethings.
Paul acting shocked that young kids watch  his  stuff is a straight PR move  but you shouldn't buy it  especially if you're a parent.
