Suffering! The Secret REASON Why Whamos Cruz’s Facebook Page with 8 Million Followers Was Suddenly Deleted—and the SURPRISING Betrayal of His Fans
For several years, Whamos Cruz’s name has become synonymous with ‘viral’ and ‘trending’ in the Philippine social media landscape. As one of the most popular content creators in the country, his Facebook page boasts over eight million followers, a virtual kingdom where he rules with hilarious pranks, series of live streams, and posts that go viral. But recently, one event seemed to topple his throne: the sudden and mysterious disappearance of his official Facebook page. The deletion of the platform that represented his main source of income has left a huge hole not only in his financial situation, but also in the hearts of his supporters—and those who were waiting for his downfall.
The disappearance of Whamos’ Facebook page wasn’t just a simple ‘deactivation’ or ‘rebranding.’ It was a permanent deletion that erased his digital footprint and the millions of connections he had worked so hard to build. The news spread quickly, and the question echoed across social media: Why is this account gone? In an instant, a solid pillar of revenue—from views , brand collaborations , and live stream earnings—was gone, leaving Whamos in a state many described as “suffering.”
The Mystery Behind the Disappearance: Mass Reporting, Controversy, or System?
There has been much speculation about the real reason for the page’s disappearance. Being part of the family of a popular content creator who also lost their page has added to the mystery. It can be recalled that Whamos’ brother, Awit Gamer, also lost a Facebook page with almost four million followers and it has not been restored to this day. These related disappearances have given rise to theories about a possible series of targeted attacks or a broader issue with their content style .
One of the most prominent reasons is the online casino or gambling promotions that Whamos often highlights. He is a well-known endorser of various online gaming sites . While some experts say that Facebook is not quick to remove pages simply for promoting gambling—especially if there is a proper disclaimer and it follows the rules—the public is hesitant due to the ongoing tightening of regulations on online gambling. However, doubts remain, and this has colored the collapse of his account.
The bigger possibility, and one that is more likely to affect public sentiment, is the issue of mass reporting . It is no secret that Whamos has been the subject of many controversial videos and negative comments in recent months. The hottest issues are the alleged scripted accident that angered many viewers, and the negative comments against him after he was featured on a Toni Gonzaga show. These incidents caused widespread dismay and prompted many individuals to complain or report his posts or the page itself . Amid the chaos, many netizens have issued their own verdict, saying that the loss of the account is a kind of “karma” for his alleged bragging or failure to pay the correct taxes. The lack of an official statement from Meta has further complicated the situation, proving that Facebook’s deletion process is opaque and full of mystery.

The Darkness of Fame: Betrayal by Fans
The biggest emotional blow to Whamos, and the most depressing in the eyes of observers , was not the loss of his page , but the response from his supporters. In the midst of his ordeal, where he created a new Facebook page with a noticeably somber tone, most of the comments he received were not messages of support or sympathy. Instead, it felt like an online begging session .
Almost all comments are asking for financial help, Gcash numbers , or money. Messages like “Grabe nangyari sa Facebook mo idol Wamos, pero sana mapadahlan mo naman ako, naghihirap na ako” or “Mawalan man ang Facebook mo, ang masuk ng mga sampai mo sa qaba” have gone viral. These statements reflect a profound and worrying shift in fandom culture. Instead of supporting their idols in times of crisis, supporters have chosen to take advantage of the situation. It seems that the true spirit of being a fan, which used to be seen in caring and understanding, has been lost, and has been replaced by a kind of parasocial relationship based solely on what they can get from their idols.
Commentators and fellow content creators have highlighted this incident, which proves that influencers should be more careful with their platform and legacy . Carrying gambling promotions or being too self-absorbed can damage their connection with their followers, which is what makes this type of opportunistic behavior possible . Whamos’s grief has become a joke in the eyes of some, suggesting that support has disappeared along with his million followers .
The Future of YouTube and the Lesson of Destruction
Despite the severe blow, Whamos Cruz remains on YouTube, where he continues to produce content . However, it is undeniable that Facebook is the lifeblood of virality in the Philippines, the fastest platform for videos to spread and gain attention. YouTube, while having a more stable and clear monetization system and content rules , is not as aggressive in reaching the masses as Facebook.
Whamos Cruz’s story holds an important lesson for all content creators and social media worshippers. It shows that success can be as fragile as glass and as fleeting as an internet connection . The hope that his page will be restored , as happened to other creators like Boy Tapang and Sashna, remains. However, the deeper lesson focuses on resilience and the need to build a foundation of success that is not dependent on a single platform.
More importantly, his situation raises a bitter question: What is the true value of followers ? Are they genuine supporters who share in your joys and sorrows, or are they individuals who see you only as a source of income? Whamos’s experience is a stark reminder that among millions of followers , genuine connection and caring are the hardest things to maintain and the easiest to lose. Ultimately, the measure of his recovery will not be how quickly he can get his page back up and running , but how he can deal with the emotional and financial devastation and how he can transform his platform to be more meaningful and not fall victim to the darkness of online fame again.
