“JJ could sue YouTube” - Sidemen members give their take on KSI losing £10K worth of Amazon gift codes

In a recent Side+ (Sidemen's podcast) episode, the group discussed the controversy involving KSI's Amazon Gift Codes that were inexplicably claimed even before his video got uploaded to YouTube.

For further context, the YouTuber recently concluded his "Try Not to Laugh" series, where he would make a giveaway of Amazon Gift Cards every time he chuckled at a video clip. These codes would be covertly displayed on the screen.

On November 27, JJ tweeted that almost £10K worth of Gift Cards were claimed even before the video went public.

The creator surmised that someone working within YouTube might have been involved in the act. Reacting to the entire drama, Sidemen members took to their podcast to give their takes. Fellow member Ethan "Behzinga" exclaimed:

"JJ could sue YouTube."

Sidemen members discuss strange disappearance of KSI's Amazon gift cards

KSI has spent over £100K worth of Amazon e-vouchers on his fans during his recently concluded "Try Not to Laugh" challenge series. Usually, fans are the ones claiming the codes. However, in a video scheduled to go live in November, the codes appeared to have been claimed even before reaching the screens.

Speaking of the anomalous activity, fellow Sidemen member Vik "Vikkstar123" said:

"When you upload a video, it gets sent to YouTube staff. They manually review it to see if it's safe to have adverts on it. What seems to have happened is someone (from YouTube) watching it has been like, 'hang on a second'."

Upon being suggested that KSI could sue YouTube for the supposed transgressions, Josh "Zerkaa" said:

"But at the same time, it's one pr*ck at YouTube if it's the case right."

Furthering their discussion, Vik added:

"JJ is so rich and carefree, if they'd have banged two cards, he would've been like, 'Oh, that's weird. Two cards are gone. Oh well. I'll just put the video out.' But they've taken every single card!"

Fans have shared their reactions to the video, speculating about the possible explanations behind the sudden disappearance of the cards. While some Twitter users suggested that Mo, JJ's editor, had taken them, he swiftly denied such allegations.

Here are some of the reactions that were shared under the YouTube clip:
