The Deserved End of Vitaly | Internet Anarchist

0:00For as long as he's been on YouTube, Vitaly has always been a victim of his own stupidity, from ruining his reputation with fake pranks to literally assaulting random people. Vitaly is the type of croted to do anything and everything for views, and worry about the consequences later. However, what happens when you take that mindset to a place with zero tolerance for stupidity or reckless stunts? Hi, I'm the internet anarchist, I create weekly YouTube documentaries, and today we'll be covering the story of YouTube's most iconic and idiotic troublemaker, Vitaly. How he repeatedly sabotaged his career for views, why he doesn't seem to learn his lesson, and what he did to utterly destroy his entire life. Throughout his life, Vitaly has done a myriad of things to make a name for himself, from trying to be a proscator to appearing in adult films.

1:00Vitaly spent his early years experimenting with the unusual in an effort to carve out a career for himself. However, what truly sparked Vitaly's online career was YouTube prank videos. Back in the early 2010s, prank videos were rapidly growing trend, and Vitaly was fortunate enough to hop on it just as it was becoming mainstream. The first viral hit on his channel was the infamous Miami zombie prank, in which Vitaly chases random people on the street while doing his best as zombie impression. While the video managed to rack up an astonishing 30 million views, and net Vitaly thousands of subscribers, the virality of the video and the reactions of the people in it was due to a very gruesome tragedy. A few days prior, a Miami resident named Ronald Poppo was brutally attacked and had a major part of his face consumed by Rudy Eugene, who was later dubbed the Miami zombie, the incident

2:04expectedly left other Miami residents on high alert, and Vitaly was very much aware of that, but he didn't seem to care and took advantage of the tragedy for views. On one hand, it gave Vitaly his start on YouTube, but on the other, it warped his sense of what constituted as viral content, harassing, disrespecting, and using other people's pain for views was a formula that would eventually come back to haunt Vitaly. However, at the moment, it has brought in tens of millions of views, with uploads like Russian Hitman's 60 Seconds prank, Woman in front of Cops prank, and the classic Goldticker prank. He even managed to land a lead in the movie Natural Born prankster alongside other internet pranksters like Roman Atwood and Dennis Rody. For years, their pranks have gone viral. But what happens when they get too big for the internet?

3:05By 2019, Vitaly's unhinged escapades allowed him to surpass 10 million subscribers and cement his position as a YouTube icon. Within a few short years, Vitaly had gone from a no-name teenager harassing people to a widely recognized internet celebrity, but that success didn't come without a cost. On numerous occasions, Vitaly had been arrested by law enforcement and even spent a few days in jail at several points in his career. Some of his most notable misadventures and subsequent arrests include Climbing the Hollywood Sign, streaking during the 2014 World Cup, and filming himself climbing the Great Pyramids in Egypt. Vitaly's time as a prank star taught him that being a public spectacool was the only way

4:23to get views. No matter how stupid the stunt was, this mindset was only reinforced by the fact that he had hardly faced any serious legal consequences for his immature and criminal behaviour. Unfortunately for Vitaly, that was all about to change, as his reckless approach to life was almost about to cost his own and completely derail his career. On 12 April 2020, Miami Police were summoned to Vitaly's neighborhood following a very disturbing 911 call. The assailant in question was none other than Vitaly, and according to both his later statements and police records, he had consumed several grams of psychedelic mushrooms, resulting in extremely vivid hallucinations that compelled him to leave his residence. Once outside, Vitaly spotted a woman jogging on the side of the road and began approaching her.

5:27Despite her attempts to get away from him, Vitaly tackled his woman to the ground and began viciously assaulting her with his fists. The attack left injuries on the woman's face and I too horrific to show on YouTube. As people started to take notice, Vitaly fled the scene and returned to his home. A few minutes later, police arrived at Vitaly's home to apprehend him. News on the internet spread like wildfire, and immediately destroyed Vitaly's reputation, as brands, fans and other influencers began distancing themselves from him. This would only be the start of Vitaly's problems, as the woman followed a lawsuit against him the following week, to say that Vitaly was in a tough spot would be a gross understatement. Not only was it going to

6:29face heavy legal costs, but his career was also actively losing revenue from missed sponsorships and YouTube demonetising his older prank videos. As if that wasn't bad enough, Vitaly was involved in a nearly fatal skydiving incident while trying to promote one of his adult websites. Apparently, the parachute that was supposed to serve as a banner for his site was too small and didn't provide enough air resistance to slow his descent. With his career, reputation and body in shambles, Vitaly was forced to lay low for two years as he tried to resolve the lawsuit and make it through physical therapy. Vitaly wouldn't make an official comeback until the 6th of July 2022, when he posted this video to his Facebook page.

7:45Following this, Vitaly apologized to his fans and promised to be a better person, however, he refused to mention outright what he did and the woman he harmed. It was obvious that Vitaly wanted to worm his way back into the hearts of viewers,

9:02and while they accepted him, there was one statement that foreshadowed the real reason he was coming back. Money Regardless of his motives, Vitaly had made his return to the internet, but it was only a matter of time before he returned to his old ways. By the start of 2023, Vitaly moved his online activities from YouTube over to kick, where he began doing IRL streams regularly. After all this time, you'd expect Vitaly to either come up with a new content strategy or at least turn down his previous one. Unfortunately, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Vitaly immediately returned to harassing random people in a matter reminiscent of his original prank videos.

10:04Naturally, people weren't very interested in content from a previous era, and to barely engage with the streams. This forced Vitaly to take an even more drastic approach to his content. Around 2024, Vitaly rebranded himself as a catcher and sent it his content around setting up sting operations with larger streamers like Aiden Ross. With a more justified target for his harassment and a viewer base that enjoyed watching

11:19is getting taken down, Vitaly found a new way to monetize his unhinged antics and wasted no time in doubling down on it. For the next several months, Vitaly and several other internet personalities, Lewadin and humiliated Prudda after Prudda. This type of sensational content rapidly drew in millions of viewers and hundreds of thousands of followers, eventually resulting in Vitaly receiving a kick deal through Aiden Ross. I've generated 400 million impressions on kick. Where do I send the invoice to me? Really? Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Oh shit. Bro, this is no budget Vitaly. Bro, you don't understand what I want to do for the platform bro. Yo, y'all really got to fuck with him. I'm not. I'm not. I'm a f***ing minimum deal friend. We gotta get in the max contract. Social media success aside, Vitaly's campaign against Prudda's has some concerning qualities that stand out when viewed critically. For one, a majority of the pr*****'s are rarely arrested and of those that are apprehended, there's yet to be any solid convictions. This fact holds true even when they catch someone notable. Furthermore, while Vitaly is supposed to bring

12:23these scumbags to justice, he's shamelessly promoting gambling the entire stream. One minute, his forcing and alleged p-data kiss his feet. Kiss my feet and apologize. Kiss my feet. Kiss my feet. Kiss my. And the next, his shilling online casino games to his viewers. He finally lose right now. Oh boy. Okay. Pick a mine. Pick a mine. Click anywhere on the screen. You better f***ing click it right. Good boy. I gave you one more chance. Pick a mine. You better be green. You better be green. You better be green. You better be green. Wheeeee my boy is making me bread. Why am I mine? Unomas. Unomas. Should I give him another try? He's making us bang. Good boy. Good boy. To Vitaly, this wasn't about bringing pr- as to justice, it was about making a public spectacle and a quick bark. Sadly, it wasn't long before Vitaly's game of catch the pr- uh, you did some real consequences for everyone involved. During one of his sting operations, Vitaly received a

13:25kick band after a pr- to decide to take his clothes off in front of a hired actress. This incident not only highlighted how incompetent Vitaly and his team were, but also how dangerous these types of operations could be. Kick would eventually reverse the band, and Vitaly was once again forced to find a new way to make money off harassing people. Unfortunately for Vitaly, this next method he settled on would cost him much more than a simple band. By the 27th of March 2025, Vitaly abandoned the pr- catching and moved to the Philippines to try his hand at travel vlogging. For a while, Vitaly seemed to have good intentions when he entered the country and visited less fortunate areas to give away various items. However, during his next stream titled

14:28Vitaly, disturbing the peace in Philippines, it became apparent that Vitaly was still going with his usual public tomfoolery. I have no team to control me. I'm myself right now, and you will see, you think shaving head and pissing on their face was too much? I'm coming back ultra demon time, thousand x-splinkable demon time. This bastard was gonna get f-ing kind of my grigger, want to hook, left right, done bro, knocked out everyone, bro, so nobody gonna beat my content. I'm already getting licenses to become an op- police officer. Within just two hours of the stream, Vitaly was already harassing everyone inside. I have a question. I have a very important question for you. Can I shove this up your booty? What? Can I put this in your butt? It's a cold-innu-b-video game. Maria quote, Mario Kart Infinity 360. Is that okay or no? When he didn't get the reaction he wanted, Vitaly decided to take things a step further and commit the first of his many crimes in the Philippines.

15:50If harassing people the first time didn't work, Vitaly was more than willing to do it as often as he needed to to get the reaction he was looking for. The incredibly disturbing part about all of this was how little Vitaly seemed to care about the chaos he was spreading and only seemed to care about how many viewers he was getting.

16:51Herrassing people wasn't enough of Vitaly as he went to round stealing various items from stores around the city. Even after doing all of these idiotic acts, Vitaly felt like nothing would come of it and did face absolutely no consequences. While Vitaly was right about one thing, his clips would go viral, but they also set in motionist series of events that would eventually lend Vitaly in his worst nightmare. However, before that could happen, another travel vlogger named Unlock Philippines, aka Eric Cabrera,

17:56confronted Vitaly and tried to talk some sense into him. Instead of critically thinking about Vitaly's escapades as damaged his reputation and the reputation of other travel streamers, Vitaly only considered how viral his antics were.

19:10When Eric questioned him about the deprived nature of his content, Vitaly immediately resulted into insults and threats of violence. It was clear that Vitaly felt no remorse for his actions. No one else was worth considering if

20:22it meant to get a few views and donations on his stream. Unfortunately for Vitaly, he wouldn't get away with that sort of behaviour forever. By the 2nd of April, Vitaly's luck finally ran out, as he was apprehended by Philippina law enforcement. Even now that he was in police custody, Vitaly still wasn't taking the situation seriously, laughing and smoking while they read him his rights. In Vitaly's mind, the worst they could do was either to port him or find him. After all, this wasn't his first time being detained in a foreign country. Sadly, this wasn't Egypt or the United States. Philippina law enforcement takes this kind of thing very seriously. By the 7th of April 2025, Vitaly was brought on national television

21:27to be officially charged for his crimes. For a bit of extra context, Vitaly was being charged with the following crimes, alarming scandal, attempted theft and unjust fixation. All together, these charges could lend Vitaly multiple decades in prison if convicted, and there's no doubt that the Philippina law system wants to make an example out of Vitaly, but only time will tell what is its act to punishment will be. Throughout his entire career, Vitaly has been incapable of acknowledging his mistakes and has been radically delusional about the potential consequences of his actions. For years, he harassed, threatened and provoked people to grow his online platform. Even when people want him about the danger, Vitaly felt he knew best and thought anyone criticizing him was just trying to keep him down. Since he hadn't received any real time behind bars, Vitaly likely

22:27assumed he'd never see the four walls of a prison cell. Fortunately, if what the Philippina law enforcement says is true, then it looks like that's all Vitaly will be seeing for a long time. Comment below if you think Vitaly should be in prison.
