In 2019, the YouTube channel of the famous YouTuber Luisito (Tender Communicates) gained attention due to a story about a 60-year-old man named Sergio Ramirez. Sergio, who had never traveled, expressed his desire to experience travel through Luisito's travel videos. Luisito, touched by Sergio's story, asked his followers to help find Sergio and fulfill his travel dream.
However, Sergio Ramirez was not a real person. The entire story was a hoax created by Yao Cabrera, a Mexican user who gained popularity at the end of 2019. Cabrera's plan aimed to generate subscribers for his channel by pretending to be Sergio Ramirez. The story gained momentum when Luisito's followers subscribed to the channel to help find Sergio.
The channel gained over a million subscribers, becoming the first in history to reach such a figure without uploading any video. Upon discovering the hoax, Cabrera claimed that he, not a hacker, was the one who contacted Sergio and obtained access to his account. He also posted a supposed blog post from Sergio, stating that he only had one way to contact Luisito – via a messaging app called Fireworks.
However, inconsistencies in the story, such as links to Cabrera's videos in the supposed hacker's posts, led many to realize it was a hoax. The real Sergio, an actor named José Luis, admitted to being part of the scam and apologized. The YouTube channel was eventually taken over by Cabrera, who started uploading generic challenges, but it lost almost 200,000 subscribers and was eventually shut down due to copyright claims.
In conclusion, Sergio Ramirez was a fictional character created by Yao Cabrera as part of a massive hoax. Despite the controversy, Cabrera managed to gain a large number of subscribers for his channel.
