Logan Paul's YouTube channels are once again serving ads - but the controversial vlogger isn't out of the video platform's doghouse yet.

YouTube resumed running ads on Paul's channels this week, a little over two weeks after announcing that it was temporarily suspending all ads from his content because it determined that his recent behavior made his videos "unsuitable for brands."

Pre-roll ads served in Logan Paul's videos on his main channel Tuesday included spots for 20th Century Fox's "Red Sparrow"; Comcast and Sunrun's residential solar-power system; chat-story app "Hooked"; mobile game "Guns of Glory"; and boutique hotel chain AKA. The videos also included overlay ads sold by Google. YouTube's restoration of ads to Paul's channels was first reported by Tubefilter.

The 22-year-old comedy vlogger became a lightning rod for critics when he posted a video on Dec. 31 showing a person who died from a suicide (which he subsequently deleted). In a Feb. 5 video, Paul shot a Taser at a dead rat - precipitating YouTube's decision to pull ads from his channels.

According to a YouTube rep, since the ad suspension, Logan Paul and his team have acknowledged that they reviewed and understand YouTube's Community Guidelines and advertiser-friendly guidelines.

However, Logan Paul's channels are still in a 90-day "probation period" during which time content from his channels is not eligible for the YouTube trending tab, nor is it eligible for non-subscriber notifications. In addition, his channels remain ineligible for the Google Preferred premium-ad program.

YouTube had previously yanked Paul's channels from Google Preferred following the suicide video and cut him from YouTube Red original series "Foursome." He is represented by CAA and affiliated with Studio71.

Some critics view YouTube's temporarily demonetization of Paul's channels as a mere slap on the wrist. A petition calling on YouTube to delete his channel has more than 660,000 supporters.

The Logan Paul controversy has played out as YouTube has been under increased scrutiny about how "brand safe" its platform is for advertisers. Last month, YouTube said it will start manually reviewing all videos in the Google Preferred program and set new minimum thresholds for creators to be able to participate in its ad-revenue sharing program.

YouTuber Logan Paul has reportedly had his ability to earn ad revenue from his videos restored after an 18-day suspension. According to TubeFilter, a spokesperson said the platform engaged in "conversations with Paul and his team" and now feels he better understands YouTube's community guidelines and advertiser-friendly guidelines, though he remains on probation. As such, his channel hasn't been restored to Google Preferred and will not appear on the site's Trending tab.

Paul's channel was temporarily demonetized earlier in February, a move YouTube credited to his recent "pattern of behavior." In late December, Logan famously posted a video containing footage of a human corpse he discovered while filming in Japan's Aokigahara Forest. After being reprimanded by the platform, Paul would go on to post a video on February 5 in which he fired a Taser at a dead rat. YouTube subsequently suspended his advertising on February 9, pointing to those recent videos, which they found "not only unsuitable for advertisers, but also potentially damaging to the broader creator community."

SAN FRANCISCO - YouTube said on Wednesday that it had dropped Logan Paul, one of its most popular stars, from its top advertising ranks and had suspended production of a YouTube movie that he was supposed to appear in.

Late last month, Mr. Paul faced a deluge of criticism after posting a video that appeared to show a dead body hanging from a tree in a Japanese forest known as a destination for suicides. Mr. Paul took the video down and apologized for what he called a "misguided" decision.

The move to punish Mr. Paul a week after the video surfaced highlights how YouTube, which is owned by Google, is slowly coming to grips with controversial content. The issue is becoming more apparent as the online service replaces television as the main entertainment platform for younger audiences.

Top YouTube stars like Mr. Paul, known for pushing the envelope with outlandish behavior that would not be acceptable on mainstream television, present a particular problem. Their antics build an online audience, but can create a cycle of boundary testing as they look for ways to keep their viewers entertained.

"In light of recent events," said a YouTube spokeswoman, Jessica Mason, Mr. Paul was dropped from Google Preferred, which grants content creators access to guaranteed revenue from premium advertisers. She also said YouTube was delaying any projects that it had in the works with Mr. Paul, including a sequel to a YouTube movie called "The Thinning."
