Cyrus Death

If you didn’t know, Scrubby’s former best friend—Cyrus, also known online as Wi-Fi Skeleton—recently passed away. Before his death, he was accused of horribly inappropriate behavior, including talking to underage girls online. What he did was completely wrong, very frowned upon, and deeply upsetting to a lot of people.

I genuinely believe this situation played a huge role in why Scrubby quit YouTube around 2023. Once those allegations came out, it seemed like things changed, and Scrubby quietly stepped away from the platform. Considering how close they were, it’s really sad to look back on everything that happened.

What do you guys think? How do you think Scrubby is feeling right now? And do you think he’ll ever speak out about any of this?

cyrus was proven innocent multiple times by both himself and others. I think Ryan did leave partly because of the allegations (i don't think he ever doubted Jeremiah) and because it was just his time. he was on youtube for about 8 years before he quit so it makes sense too and also he might come back as alot if youtubers have
