Who the Heck Is Cyraxx? The YouTube Drama That’s Got Everyone Talking

3 minute read

And why are creators scrambling to cut his name from their videos?


If you’ve spent any time lurking around YouTube or Twitch drama circles, you’ve probably stumbled across the name Cyraxx. Maybe you’ve spotted it in a Reddit thread or during a heated livestream. But who is this guy, and why does his name send content creators into panic mode?

Let’s break down what’s actually going on.


Who is Cyraxx?

Cyraxx is basically one of those infamous internet personalities who's been around for years, but not for any of the good reasons you might hope for. He’s mostly known for clashing with other creators, controversial behavior, and getting himself into all kinds of trouble—on purpose or not.

Over time, the drama around Cyraxx has snowballed. His reputation online is… bad, for lots of reasons. Think “pro-level internet villain”—he’s someone people warn you to avoid getting involved with.


The Latest Drama: YouTubers vs. Cyraxx (Sort Of)

A post recently blew up on Reddit asking a straightforward question:
Why are people freaking out about Wavywebsurf (a YouTube creator) removing a Cyraxx segment from his video after a legal threat?

Here’s the situation:

  • Wavywebsurf posted a video that included a section about Cyraxx.
  • Cyraxx or someone involved threatened legal action.
  • Wavy took that part out of the video “for a while.”

Cue the internet’s overreaction. Some people started calling Wavy everything from “a grifter” to “just as bad as Cyraxx.” They said he caved under pressure and is only looking out for himself.


Why Are People Upset?

The internet loves drama—and it loves accountability even more. Here’s why this turned into a big deal:

  • People see Cyraxx as “fair game” because of his public antics, so removing a section about him feels like backing down from the “truth.”
  • Some viewers think creators who remove content are being cowards or selling out for their own benefit.
  • There’s a weird expectation that if you criticize someone controversial, you should “stand your ground,” no matter what.

But there’s another side: Facing legal threats online is no joke. Most creators aren’t ready to battle it out in court. Taking something down doesn’t mean you agree or you’re a fraud—it might just mean you don’t want a lawsuit.


Is Wavywebsurf “Just as Bad” as Cyraxx?

This is where things get wild. Comparing a creator who edits a video to avoid legal headaches to someone with Cyraxx’s rep doesn’t make much sense.

  • Wavy’s move was about self-protection.
  • Cyraxx is famous (infamous) for actual bad behavior.
  • Not the same thing. At all.

But in internet drama land? People love to exaggerate. If you take something down, some will say you’re sneaky. If you leave it up, others say you’re reckless.


The Takeaway

This is a reminder of how fast the YouTube drama world spins. What started as a segment in a video turned into accusations about character, ethics, and “grifting.” The line between covering drama and becoming drama is razor-thin.

If you’re a viewer, keep this in mind:

  • Creators are people, juggling risks and choices.
  • Some stories are worth digging into with a critical eye.
  • And not every drama is as deep as Reddit or Twitter make it seem.

Bottom line:
Not every creator who pulls a video is a villain. Sometimes, getting out of internet crossfire is just plain smart.
