The company's actions come after the massively popular YouTuber apologized for 'all of the racism' he's posted.

, which has nearly 8.4 million subscribers, are all demonetized for an indefinite amount of time. YouTube did not respond to inquiries about how long his suspension will last.The list of offenses includes, but is not limited to, doing blackface on multiple occasions, saying the n-word, and playing Asian and Latino stereotypes in skits.

When asked why action is being taken now, the spokesperson provided statements that said the company reviewed Dawson’s older videos and determined his actions warranted a corporate response. In Dawson's lengthy apology video, which now has over 11 million views, the 31-year-old YouTuber said blackface was"something that [he] did a lot" in 2014. He"I'm sorry I added to the normalization of blackface or the normalization of saying the n-word," he said in his most recent apology video.

While Dawson did not address the Willow Smith clip, he did address other comments about pedophilia he'd made. "I swear on my life, I am not somebody who would ever talk about a child that in any way was inappropriate," he said."That is disgusting. That is gross. It is not something I would ever do. It is something I did for shock value or because I thought it was funny."

I think it’s the right move, but YouTube hardly has a great track record on this.

His jokes are highly disturbing too and if any NORMAL person said these things they would be fired from their job and arrested.. he is toxic and needs to learn from his mistakes which means stepping down and doing his part to make change.

Can White people please stop accepting this mans apologies on behalf of black people

BuzzFreed who else is waiting for jeffreestar to respond with baited breath? Omg

Cancel culture

I’m so confused on what’s happening. I don’t really follow him or Jeffrey Star. I just know they are in the makeup business. So what’s going on?

alfts0706 lo están acusando de ser pederasta 😫

Omg this guy is a monster... sorry, an apology isn’t enough. This guy is putrid and there will never be enough to make up for how twisted and perverted he is.

Holy shit

YouTube do nikkilimo and stevegreene next

Hey, ... Why is racism in the title of the article in quotes? It's racism, period. 🙄

Good he’s a god damn pedophile

Might as well delete every youtuber are we going to act like everyone else are angels this is a joke.

2 questions. Who the hell is this guy? Why?

yeah baybee

Get rid

Shame he’s already a millionaire. His career is over but he never needs to work again, so he will get away with it all, well unless they police come knocking!

HAAAAA GET 'IM

Good. Now delete the channels YouTube !!!

FINALLY SOMETHING GGOOD

losing your job for something that you did 10 years ago...

Youtube demonetized the videos but still runs ads on them? It should just ban the channel, otherwise Youtube is making profit from this whole clusterfuck.

And he’s a perv

That Dawson is up a creek it seems

Andiee_93 y aquí que ondas? 😂

If a YouTube person influences you. You’re part of the problem

Good good, now what about jeffree he’s no perfect dandelion either.

Shane is cancelled for the right reasons. After seeing his past videos, I am deeply disgusted. Now it's time for jeffree to go.

So YouTube will let him stop making money but he can still post content? That makes no sense! Ban the trash already.

My question is, if all the shit Shane did was years ago, what’s the point of demonetizing him now?
