=== Kolyma ownership, decline, terror attack (2022-2024) === In the aftermath of the buyout, the site was once again flooded with a wave of users posting videos containing Neo-Nazism, white supremacy, racism, and pro-Russia propaganda in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, more than ever seen before on the site. Many users fled to other alternative sites or left the community for good. On January 18th, 2023, Lolwut announced on the VidLii site blog that Kuz had stepped down and left the site after a decline in overall involvement in 2022, and that lolwut was now sole owner of VidLii moving forward; in spite of this announcement, however, some in the alt community speculated that Kuz was still an administrator or otherwise continued to take part in VidLii some other capacity. In early 2023, rumors started popping up on the internet that Kuz had died from HIV/AIDS, which later turned out to be false, as Kuz was allegedly fleeing Russia to avoid dealing with legal issues. On August 12th, 2024, Arda Küçükyetim, a VidLii user under the alias Skreewie, entered a tea garden in the Tepebasi district of Eskişehir, Turkey, and streamed himself randomly stabbing people in his vicinity;<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c24p7mgp2d6o</ref> a total of seven people were injured, one critically. On his channel, Skreewie had uploaded content related to Nazism, racism, and glorification of real world tragedies.<ref>https://onedio.com/haber/eskisehir-de-masum-insanlari-bicaklayan-saldirganin-bilgileri-ifsa-edildi-1239703</ref> Some Turkish outlets called for VidLii to be deplatformed and for people who use it to be put on a terror watchlist, further jeopardizing VidLii's future.
