Hopefully they got shut down.

Their entire business model was "steal content, get paid"

[u/BumblebeeLopsided486 → u/BobGuns]

Good riddance. All they did was repost stuff from here and other local pages without credit. Never understood why people gave them so much attention in the first place

[u/apatheticbear420 → u/BumblebeeLopsided486]

because they don't censor racists and bigots, this was a platform/page for this type of people

[u/Mission-Dark9250 → u/BobGuns]

They stole my most recent post and claimed it was dm’d to them lmao

[u/kajer209 → u/BobGuns]

You don’t make money on Instagram in Canada

[u/Sea-Dog9448 → u/kajer209]

I believe it came out that YegWave is based over seas. So I’m not sure, but that should change things.

[u/kajer209 → u/Sea-Dog9448]

People think it was the gotcha moment but they just use a VPN

[u/Substantial-Flow9244 → u/[deleted]]

That's how it started, briefly.

[u/Oarbitor]

Good riddance.

[u/ken_masters97]

Weird, I didn't even notice. Now how will I find out where the house fires and flipped vehicles are?

[u/Icy_Queen_222 → u/ken_masters97]

Same! I NEED to know!

[u/pos_vibes_only → u/ken_masters97]

And how to blame everything on Carney and Bike Lanes

[u/TailoredExperience]

It’s a rage farm. And hopefully gone for good.

I seriously wonder if it was attached to Russian data centres like many thought it was. It’s definitely an AI account.

[u/cranky_yegger → u/TailoredExperience]

My feed has seriously been less rage bait over the past week. I feel renewed in my spirit. I’m attributing it to Russian data centres being gone and I’m all for more of them disappearing.

[u/TepHoBubba → u/TailoredExperience]

It was Russian. They outed their location once by accident and tried to say it was just a VPN. Sure man...using a VPN to spoof a Russian address.

[u/Kydra_117 → u/TepHoBubba]

Whoa ... it was ?

[u/CanadianPanda76 → u/Kydra_117]

Yes, there was this whole thing where Twitter or Instagram out location on people's profile. They got outed.

[u/JordanPetterPans → u/CanadianPanda76]

It showed them in many different places which is evidence of a VPN. Pretty standard 

[u/JordanPetterPans → u/TepHoBubba]

Not it wasn't, it was evidence people don't know what a VPN is

[u/TepHoBubba → u/JordanPetterPans]

Mmhmm

[u/JordanPetterPans → u/TepHoBubba]

? It showed them in multiple different places... How was this not very obviously a vpn? 

Though there is some comedic irony in people spreading pretty obvious misinformation about yegwave lol

[u/Organ0n → u/TepHoBubba]

I dont like them either but it was a vpn. They were high schoolers back in 2020

[u/TepHoBubba → u/Organ0n]

Mmmmhmm.

[u/ssm10 → u/Organ0n]

can second this, the people who started it went to high school with me.

[u/Embarrassed-Bad-8655 → u/TailoredExperience]

Briefly the twitter location had them from the Netherlands when locations first became visible, then they got it changed somehow, most of the commenters have accounts based in Canada still though...

[u/bagelgaper → u/TailoredExperience]

It’s been down long prior to the recent attacks tho

[u/WillyWonkaCandyBalls]

lol well Ukraine bombed all the Russian server farms so maybe that’s it.

[u/PurpleSausage77 → u/WillyWonkaCandyBalls]

lol the timing

[u/fIumpf]

Hopefully got shut down and deleted with Ukraine destroying a Russian bot farm.

[u/MZillacraft3000]

They got banned from Insta for posting a video of a crash about a month of two ago.

All I can say: I'm glad YEGWave is gone. In my opinion. It just brought out the worst in people.

[u/Substantial_Ant77]

Never posted an ounce of positivity on there. Glad they’re gone.

[u/Limp-Elevator-6908]

The Russian Bot farm was bombed 🤣

[u/Bubbly_Sun2910]

Rip bozo smoking that yegwave pack 🚬 Absolute cancer on our city

[u/normalguypizza]

Russian bot farm

[u/YEGSports]

"And there was much rejoicing"

[u/Mr_Meeseeks9]

Probably went under when Ukraine bombed the Russian Data Centres and disappeared with the other hate mongering bot accounts that commented on their posts ;)

[u/JustJess487]

They got shut down on Instagram. But X still allows them, because they have no morals

[u/Wulfho]

Ukraine took out their Russian bot farm HQ

[u/1362313623]

Ukraine bombed a Russian data centre that ran most of the bot farms on the internet. So I'm guessing that.

[u/tambourinequeen]

They've been banned for weeks, way before Ukraine bombed Russian data centres. I noticed 2 weeks ago, and found a reddit post from a month ago talking about it.

[u/Glass-Accountant5200]

i think its on tiktok idk or smth similar

alot of videos here get uploaded there with that watermark

[u/EightBitRanger]

Good riddance.

[u/Wallbreaker-g]

This isn’t their first time. Probably their third time this year.

[u/JeffreyDonaldMusk]

Ukraine doing Ukraine stuff?

[u/iaac_1084]

Good riddance!!

[u/Kallisti13]

Their "business" promotion page is still up and running.

[u/lemasei]

Looks like they have a TikTok account still up.

[u/seynee]

I think they renamed themselves to "yeg" on IG cause I dont remember following this page, and there's a gap in their posts between 2023 and 2025
