The reality-show villain has evolved. Ladies and gentlemen, meet the YouTube villain.

Look no further than Jake Paul, a YouTube-generation successor to platinum-blond miscreants like Spencer Pratt of “The Hills” and Jonny Fairplay of “Survivor,” mixed with a little bit of the “Jackass” crew.

Mr. Paul, 20, an actor on the Disney channel show “Bizaardvark,” has 8.5 million followers on Instagram, and more than 8.5 million subscribers to his YouTube channel. But a local news clip from Los Angeles that featured him infuriating his West Hollywood neighbors introduced him to a different audience this week.

“The neighbors hate me,” he says proudly in the spot, which features him jumping atop the local news van and mocking a reporter’s shoes, as well as shots of his eager young fans hanging out in the street. Told that the neighbors are complaining that he’s turned the street into a circus, he responds, “I mean, but people like going to circuses, right?”

“It used to be a really nice quiet street and now we’re just this war zone,” said Maytal Dahan, the only neighbor named in the piece. The station, KTLA, reported that a neighborhood meeting is planned for next week to discuss the possibility of filing a lawsuit against Mr. Paul, who did not immediately respond to questions sent through a publicist.
