Do Cancelled Influencers Deserve A Second Chance? | IMO Ep.130

Logan Paul has recently got into some drama again after YouTuber Coffeezilla's three part exposé about Logan Paul's failed crypto project CryptoZoo. Despite many believing Logan to be on a redemption arc since his incident in Japan, the infamous YouTuber seems to be always involved in controversy. Do people truly change? In this episode of IMO, we discuss if cancelled influencers such as Logan Paul deserve a second chance, and how that second chance looks like.   *UPDATE* It was mentioned in the podcast that Logan Paul has lost a million subscribers from this saga, this is incorrect. He has not lost or gained subscribers according to Social Blade. Sorry for the mistake.   He has also now released a second video about his refund plan for CryptoZoo here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hAjggQvFc20
