Calvin Lee Vail (born 1995 or 1996), known online as LeafyIsHere or simply Leafy, is an American former Internet celebrity, best known for his YouTube channel which focused on reaction content. Vail first gained popularity on the site for his commentary on cringey Internet videos and culture.[2] Prior, he posted Let's Play content.[4]
Beginning in 2016, Vail was involved in several conflicts with other YouTubers which led to allegations of cyberbullying and various violations of website terms of service. YouTube terminated Vail's account in 2020, citing repeated violations of their harassment policies.[1][5]
