Kamil Labudda, a popular Polish influencer known by Buddha's nickname, after over a year of break announced his great return to creating content on the Internet. However, it will not return to YouTubewhere he won millions of fans thanks to automobile and adventure films. Instead, launches its own streaming platform called CSI TV, which is to be the "clean side of the internet" – free from drama, gossip. He submitted this information in a special video published on 13 December 2025.
Break and return after a difficult period
Budda, or 28-year-old Kamil Labudda, disappeared from the net for over a year after a series of controversy and legal problems for organized raffles. In his latest material, he honestly told of this time: he spent three months in isolation in a 7 square meters cell, which was a huge challenge for him. Still, he heard fan support during a demonstration under arrest, which motivated him to return.
"I'm not going back on YouTube. We'll do it on our own platform."
– emphasized in the video, rejecting offers from large streaming services that offered to buy him a library of films and regular materials.
Labudda noted that the last year was devoted to preparing for the new project. He recorded content for six months, investing as much as PLN 6 million in it. Total costs, including platform infrastructure, amounted to about PLN 9 million. Influencer compared this to his YouTube revenue from 2023-2024, which reached less than PLN 3 million, with much higher production expenditure.
CSI TV – a new era of Buddy content
New platform, available at https://csitv.net/, runs officially on December 20, 2025. The CSI, meaning "Clean Side of the Internet", is to focus exclusively on positive entertainment: motorization, adventures, trips and special materials. The platform is intended to be an alternative to toxic content on the network.
Movies on CSI TV will be longer than typical YouTube material – from 45 minutes to up to 1.5 hours. The platform will not include advertising and access to content will provide subscription. The basic price is PLN 37.77 per month, with a promotional discount of 23% in December. Packages are also available: six months with one free or one year with three months free of charge (which lowers the price to PLN 27.77 per month). A limited annual package with an invitation to an exclusive event in Warsaw has been prepared for the most loyal fans.
The Prime Minister's schedule looks impressive. From December 20, the long awaited material will appear, and from Christmas Eve (24 December) to New Year's every day a new film – including archive hits from the "best era" of the Buddy Channel. As of January 2026, new episodes will be published every two weeks. Users will also get bonuses: app for smartphones and TVs, wallpapers, backstage files and Q&A sessions where Buddha will answer difficult questions.
Fan reactions and career context
Buddy's return aroused enthusiasm among fans who had been speculating about his plans for months. Labudda, known for his films on luxury cars, travel and challenges, has millions of views on his record. His documentary "Budda. A '98" kid of 2024 broke ratings records in cinemas, attracting over 351,000 viewers on the opening weekend. Earlier controversy, including family disputes and legal troubles, did not weaken community loyalty.
Influencer stressed that CSI TV is not just a business but a mission: "The more you get there, the more we get it back in the movies.‘. The project is to be self-sufficient, based on subscriber support, without external sponsors.
