YouTube: JJJacksfilms
YouTuber Jacksfilms has accused a network of YouTube channels of “scamming” viewers using pre-recorded footage and fake giveaways while pretending to be livestreaming.
In the video, Jack shows multiple channels broadcasting at the same time, all labeled as “live.” However, visible cuts and repeated sequences reveal the streams are actually looped videos feigning to be live.

The investigation focuses on streams targeting fans of Roblox, where creators promise free Robux – the game’s currency – in exchange for paid interactions.
In one example, a streamer tells viewers: “Whoever is the first person to click the little gift box… and send me the laughing disco… you’re going to be next.” The “laughing disco” is a paid YouTube gift worth around $5.
Jacksfilms shows multiple users sending these gifts, but when the streamer “picks a winner”, it is the same name over and over again, proving it is a looped segment.
He also highlights tactics used to boost engagement, including fake countdowns and staged moments like pretending they are about to call emergency services, which never happens, simply done to drive the viewership up in anticipation.
Network of channels linked to same scam format
Jacksfilms says he identified at least 12 channels running near-identical streams, often using the same footage.
Channels mentioned include Joxy, RYLO, JustAlx, and Sylex, who boast between 150,000 and 1.4 million subscribers, respectively.
He also points to identical channel bios stating that the creator “does not control the account”, which he believes is used to deflect responsibility.
At one point, a streamer briefly breaks from the loop to address Jacksfilms directly, saying: “You need to stop trying to expose us… we’re not doing anything wrong.” The stream then returns to the pre-recorded footage.

However, Jacksfilms referenced YouTube’s policies on scams and deceptive practices, arguing the streams violate rules around misleading content and spam.
“YouTube doesn’t allow spam, scams, or other deceptive practices,” he explains.
At least one of the channels has been taken down, though others remained active at the time of his video being published.
Jacksfilms has used his platform to call out bad actors in streaming before. He was asked in Dexerto’s 20 Questions interview what he would “delete” from the internet, and named IRL streamers who go around causing trouble.
Jacksfilms encourages viewers to report similar streams, noting that some chat users are already beginning to recognize the pattern and call it out in real time.
