2018 has been an eventful year for Logan Paul, one of YouTube's most popular personalities.
In early January, the 22 year old caused a firestorm after he uploaded a video showing the body of a man who died by suicide. The backlash from that incident caused YouTube to temporarily withhold video ad revenue from him, and he subsequently took a break from posting videos. But after his short apology tour, he quickly returned to his roots, using car crashes to get views and getting raunchy on Twitch.
And now, in a video uploaded on Sunday, he announced to his 17 million subscribers that he was ending his daily YouTube vlogs. With his typical frenetic energy, intense edits, and lots of yelling, Paul explains that he wanted to get back into comedy -- similar to the Vines that launched his career -- and wanted to spend more time on other projects.
But don't worry, he said he will still be involved in making videos and "making waves," as well as selling merchandise.
As he so eloquently put it: "Bro, if anyone's going to end my career, it's going to be me."
The rest of the video involves going to pick up a $150,000 Mercedes.
RIP Logan Paul vlogs.
