This change is reportedly in response to Paul’s controversial vlog that he uploaded to the platform in early 2018, where he filmed a deceased person in Japan’s Aokigahara ‘Suicide Forest.’

YouTube explained the release of The Thinning as “fairness” to the hard work of the film’s staff in a statement to the Verge.

While YouTube initially punished Paul’s vlog by removing him from their premium advertising program, it seems that he is still paying for his mistake with this expulsion.
