Is online fame worth the cost of controversy? The story of Calvin Lee Vail, better known as LeafyIsHere, serves as a potent reminder that the internet's capacity for both elevation and destruction is immense. His trajectory, from a rising YouTube star to a figure embroiled in multiple platform bans, underscores the complexities of online discourse and the responsibility that comes with a significant digital platform.
