Two weeks after Logan Paul's video surfaced featuring an apparent suicide victim, YouTube is taking action. Polygon's Julia Alexander and Rooster Teeth's Jon Risinger join Cheddar to discuss YouTube's next move and more from the media world.

Plus, after an ABC exec implied the network will cancel "Inhumans," we discuss what the show's failure means for the studio's upcoming TV projects.
