One of YouTube’s most senior executives has refused to rule out the company working with Logan Paul in the future following the vlogger’s video showing a suspected suicide victim in Japan’s Aokigahara forest.

Robert Kyncl, YouTube’s Chief Business Officer, said the company’s current projects with the 22-year-old were “on hold indefinitely”, during a Q&A session at the Television Critics Association press tour, in Pasadena, California, over the weekend.

However speaking about YouTube potentially working with Paul again, Mr Kyncl said: “The most important thing to focus on is that actions should speak louder than words. Logan has the opportunity to prove that.”

Paul is one of YouTube’s biggest vloggers with over 15 million subscribers, and has starred in a number of collaborative projects with the company, such the 2016 YouTube Red film The Thinning and comedy series Foursome.

YouTube has removed Paul from its Google Preferred premium advertising programme in response to the furore surrounding the Aokigahara forest video.

Last week the company confirmed Paul will now not feature in season 4 of ‘Foursome’ and his new Originals are on hold. The controversy has also cast doubt over the upcoming YouTube Red film The Thinning 2, in which Paul stars and which was due to be released later this year.
