The eight-part "The Mind of Jake Paul" docu-series by Shane Dawson has recently come to an end. In the finale, Shane presented Jake with criticisms from our video, ("Parents' Worst Nightmare: Jake Paul",) namely that he is manipulating his young audience by advertising merch for up to 50% of the runtime of his videos.
Jake responded by saying his merch reminds people to be happy, that concerns about advertising to children are "stupid" and "ridiculous" and that we should "Shut up." Jake claimed that his merch advertisements really aren't that effective, and that a kid wouldn't believe that wearing Jake Paul merch would make them cool. There is a mountain of evidence that indicates Jake was lying to Shane and knows otherwise. He is a sophisticated marketer who owns numerous companies whose primary purpose is to deliver brand messaging to child audiences. One of Jake's companies, TeamXGlobal, offers Chinese brands the opportunity to capitalize on the American Social Influencer.
