of course its the old "send this and get x2 back" scam but even with that amount of viewers the payment addresses still have 0 balance, weird. ( which is good of course )

Those are a dime-a-dozen to be honest.
So many of them going on people stopped reporting it here

Even if there is a lot of them popping up, I think that we still should do our part on reporting them because that means that they are victorious. Only when people stopped fighting for good will evil reign over. I know that it sounds futile but this could create awareness towards the platform or other users and curious onlookers to join the fight, the people who fight this scams are fighting the good fight.

Regarding the livestream, the best that you can do is post an awareness article on your social platforms to warn others about this so in the near future when they encounter this kind of scheme at the very least they have an idea of what it is so they do not fall for this scams.

it's not weird at all since the majority of those(maybe all) "viewers" are just bots to enticing people who might come across their video into possibly depositing on their address.
anyway, the video is now unavailable. maybe next time it would be better to take a screenshot so people have a reference what to look for if they came across with it.

Video is no longer available, it means that Youtube has taken down already, maybe people have reported this stream that's why they've have to take action. Nevertheless, we have to thank the OP for reporting it here and maybe some of our members have reported it that's why the quick and swift measures taken by Youtube.

There are so many of them. These scammers are very creative in making newbies and beginners believe that their offer is real. Youtube needs to be more strict in the approval process of these scammy ads. As these scammy live stream videos are taken down by Youtube, scammers won't stop creating new ones. Youtube can only remove them after their videos are reported for scamming, but they can't do so much in making sure that these scammers would ever do the same incident again. It's all about learning from our past mistakes and not falling for these traps again.
