today the two poles will go face to face
both young men have risen to online fame
and infamy at times and are now what we
call YouTube stars like him or not they
found a niche and Exploited it their
creations may not exactly be ingenious
but the two guys were certainly a
student enough to discover a digital
goldmine Logan Paul was recently
lambasted in the global press for his
insensitivity towards a suicide in Japan
but that didn't affect his popularity
shortly after the stunt the BBC reported
that Logan was the most popular vlogger
in the UK for youngsters aged 5 to 16
those kids seem to love what the BBC
calls shocking content and brother Jake
isn't much different in his approach
today we'll see how they fare in a
comparison in this episode of the
infographic show Logan Paul versus Jay
Paul Logan Paul is the older of the two
brothers he was born on April 1st 1995
so that makes him 23 he grew up in West
Lake Ohio with his parents and brother
Jake the family is said to have mixed
European ancestry he stands 6 feet 2
inches tall and weighs 181 pounds he has
blue eyes and blond hair his build is
described as athletic and most reports
state that he was good at sports in
school his brother Jake was born on
January 17 1997 which makes him 21 years
old Jake also stands at 6 feet 2 inches
tall but weighs 192 pounds this makes
him fairly similar to his brother
perhaps with a bit more muscle or fat on
him they look quite similar but when we
checked out one teenage girl dedicated
website
it seems Jake gets the thumbs up for
looks but Logan for personality it may
all sound childish but that's what the
teenage girls are saying who was the
more popular in terms of reach various
websites publish YouTube statistics so
we'll tell you what we found
remember these numbers are volatile and
can sometimes change by the second Logan
Paul has nearly 17 million subscribers
which gives him a subscriber rank of
forty sixth in the world in all his
videos have been watched 3.3 billion
times just in the last 30 days his
content has had over 208 million views
it looks good and it's more than he had
this time last year but it's down on the
last few months his estimated earnings
are said to be between six hundred
twenty-five thousand and ten million a
year but this is complicated so we'll
talk more about this later
Jake Paul has fewer subscribers at
nearly 14 million this gives him a rank
of 71st in the world his videos have
been seen a total of 3.7 billion times
which give
the edge on his brother in the last 30
days his videos have been watched over
195 million times which is also a
decrease from a very active middle of
last year it said his yearly earnings
for his videos is anywhere between five
hundred eighty five thousand and nine
point four million what about their most
popular video for Logan that was a song
called the fall of Jake Paul it has 166
million views pretty impressive
given that that's more than the
population of Russia the ninth most
populated country in the world we might
also remember the record-breaking season
7 finale of Game of Thrones which drew
an audience of 12.1 million views when
it was aired Jake Paul beats him though
in terms of his most-watched video that
was one called
it's everyday bro and it has been
watched over 180 million times perhaps
the most talked-about thing to come out
of the video was the line sung by guest
Nick Crompton who told us England is my
city both Jake and Logan still have a
long way to go however before they reach
the billions of views some videos have
attracted we can look at who are the
biggest stars on YouTube at least as of
February 2018 and still both boys just
miss out on one list we found made by
Business Insider the list didn't put
them in the top 19 but in terms of
subscribers Logan Paul should now be on
the list while both brothers would
certainly like to have the fanbase of
Swedish vlog or PewDiePie they are not
close yet he has over 60 million
subscribers but when we look at them in
terms of how much money is earned we
enter a complicated field because ad
revenue revenue from clothes and apparel
and also lucrative sponsorships are not
easy to work out some media does however
attempt to assess the earnings of
youtube stars forbes put a list together
for earnings in 2017 and jake paul came
in seventh it said he earned about 11.5
million dollars pewdiepie may have many
more subscribers but his earnings were
only said to be 12 million dollars and
guess what Logan Paul in fourth place
was set to earn 12.5 million dollars the
Brit Daniel Middleton aka dantdm was in
first at sixteen point five million so
it looks like Logan earns a bit more
than his brother and gets the thumbs up
from some fans for having better content
we will add that when we say better we
use the term lightly given that Logan's
Japan video was called by much of the
world's media and anyone over the age of
16 crass cruel insensitive and just
plain childish however in terms of
accolades one flow
again is ahead of his brother having
been nominated for more Awards both
brothers have won something at the Teen
Choice Awards two times so with all the
controversy surrounding the brothers and
many people hardly impressed with their
stunts we took a look at forums to see
what regular people were saying about
them a lot is mentioned about the feud
the brothers have but most people think
this is some kind of stunt to gain more
views what seems to be quite telling is
while people on forums criticize the
brothers they are still talking about
them we might be reminded of Oscar
Wilde's famous line about negative words
aimed at you being better than no one
talking about you at all what else did
we find some people on forums say Jake
copies Logan is envious of them has
worse content and is even bad to women
in fact Jake takes a beating by many
people with one person calling him a
stupid childish money-hungry
attention-seeking youtuber in fact
wherever this logan verse jake
discussion takes place you'll find just
about everyone saying that logan is the
more talented of the pair and for those
who don't like either of them the least
annoying he seems to have a bit more
cash to spend - and a few more fans so
if we have to pick a winner in this
matchup
we'll pick Logan Paul Vanity Fair
however would disagree in 2018 it
published an article saying the
popularity of these two brothers is a
bigger problem than we think in view of
what it says about humanity calling Jake
odious and Logan and egomaniac the story
alluded to this matchup being a draw
with them being equally bad both
indicative of a growing idiocracy so
what are your thoughts are the Paul
brothers amazing or are they indicative
of a social decline let us know in the
