“From a guy who used to make money off people…?”
“Wrecker” YouTuber Caracula, who was sentenced to 12 months in prison for his involvement in blackmailing his fellow YouTube mukbang star Tzuyang, has teased his return to the platform, triggering some intense reactions online.
Going back on his “retirement” announcement, Caracula posted a video on his channel, which had been wiped as of July 2024.

In the video, the problematic YouTuber apologized for “causing such a major public controversy and disturbance” and asked for the viewers’ trust again.
First, I sincerely apologize to everyone for causing such a major public controversy and disturbance. Everything that happened was due to my shortcomings and lack of qualifications…
…I regret what I’ve done and I promise to show how I reflect on my past, not just through words, but through action. If only you could give me another chance, I will strive to become someone worthy of that trust.
— Caracula
While it seems like the YouTuber had worked on himself, it was his “rebranding” that raised both questions and concerns. Going from “Caracula Media” to “Caracula Animal Rescue,” the YouTuber announced that he will be shifting the channel’s content from covering scandals to rescuing abandoned and abused animals.
Though his channel remains demonetized, Caracula noted, “I have no plans to ask for donations. I will simply move forward, bearing the heavy responsibility of my past wrongdoings.”
As noble as his intentions sound, the video has not been too well received by the netizens who remember Caracula as a toxic “cyberwrecker” that bullied and blackmailed Tzuyang.
- “From a guy who used to make money off people? Just go away.”
- “Guess animals seemed like an easy way to pull in donation money. Even without YouTube monetization, he could just say, ‘We need funds to rescue this animal’ and collect money through a personal account. Then, since animals can’t talk, he could just say, ‘It went well, the animal got adopted!’ and disappear. There’s no way to verify anything.”
- “Ran out of money, huh?”
- “What a load of BS.”
- “Just look at how he’s been active on Instagram… So much for ‘reflecting,’ IMO. I remember checking his account right after he got out on bail because I figured he’d post something, and sure enough, he was flexing about being in detention, posting all these cocky photos and rebutting news articles. No matter how bad the incident, he seems to love the media attention and people talking about him. If there’s no monetization, why even bother making content? It’s obviously about using animals to repair his reputation, thinking time will pass, people will forget, and he’ll be seen positively again. What else could it be but a ploy to enjoy fame?”
- “What’s he planning to do now with animals that can’t even speak for themselves?”
- “Oh… so this is what it looks like to exploit something for content.”
- “Pfft.”
- “Please do not use the poor animals. What did they ever do to deserve this?”
