A YouTuber is making serious allegations against the company Fanblast, which involves the Twitch streamer Knossi: Allegedly, employees of an agency have taken over the chats of celebrities who supposedly sold their numbers beforehand. The goal: to rip off people’s money. Behind this is an extensive investigative research that has been ongoing for over a year. In a nearly 1-hour video, RobBubble has now presented his findings.
What are the accusations? In an extensive YouTube video presented by RobBubble, he states his accusations against Fanblast:
- Predominantly known female streamers are said to sell their phone numbers for money, where users can then buy them to write with the streamers.
- However, the chats are allegedly not conducted by the streamers, but by an agency named Oasis Agency, without the buyers of the numbers knowing that they are not actually writing to the real person.
- The so-called “chatter” is said to write in the name of the streamers, feigning intimacy and closeness, and subsequently blackmail the buyers mentally, so they buy pictures for a lot of money. According to RobBubble, this involves amounts in the mid 6-digit range. The chatters earn a commission from this. The higher the profit, the higher the commission.
- According to him, both Fanblast, the company involved with Knossi, and the streamers are involved, who knowingly warn the employed “chatters” and are supposed to disclose certain information to avoid possible contradictions.
- Fanblast and the agency handling the chats, Oasis Agency, are said to be located in the same office in Hamburg and are aware of each other. The co-founder of Fanblast is also said to be in the WhatsApp chats of Oasis.
- He mentions specific streamers like Alexisshv and GwendolynCeline; in total, it should be about 25 predominantly female streamers.
- Bild-Zeitung is also said to have sent a reporter undercover into this agency and uncovered similar allegations. The report by Bild-Zeitung is available online, but is behind a paywall.
Where do these allegations come from? According to his own statement, RobBubble spoke with two whistleblowers who found it to go too far. Moreover, he is said to have infiltrated a journalist undercover into the company and persuaded a friend to sign up there. He explains his approach and the methods of the “chatters” in detail in his video:
Update: Knossi leaves statement in the form of a comment
Update on December 14 at 5:50 PM: At around 5 PM, Knossi commented under the video. In his statement, the well-known streamer expresses shock over the recent developments at the Fanblast platform. He emphasized that he watched the entire video regarding the incident.
Knossalla explained that the original goal when founding Streamblast many years ago was merely to make streaming more interactive. He clarified that it was never his company, but he was simply part of the founding and investment team. Accordingly, there had been no distributions or financial gains.
He further elaborated that he was said to have had no influence on the new positioning and the name change to Fanblast. According to his own statements, he had not been involved in the company’s operational activities for over two years and had neither decision-making power nor knowledge of the company’s procedures.
He explained his departure by stating that he had already left when discussions about introducing subscription models had arisen. At that point, the company had nothing more to do with what they initially wanted to build.
In conclusion, Knossalla explicitly distances himself from the current content and offerings of Fanblast. He added that he has been gradually selling off his remaining shares for some time.
From here on, it continues with the original announcement:
Chatters build intimacy to later mentally blackmail users
What is this scheme? On the platform Fanblast, users can buy the numbers of various streamers. Subsequently, according to RobBubble, they may message via WhatsApp with the number. Users are supposed to feel as if they are chatting with the real streamer and thereby build closeness and a certain intimacy.
But instead of chatting with the actual streamer, users are supposed to be assigned a chatter who only poses as the streamer. The streamers are presumably required to fill out a profile in advance, so that the agency staff know exactly what they can and should say. Moreover, the streamers are supposed to consciously warn the staff when they are online, as otherwise the chats would be exposed.
Additionally, there should be extensive guides for staff on how to best emotionally pressure users to get money out of them. Just with the profile of the influencer Alexisshv, almost 50,000 euros are said to have been made in December 2025 alone.
In the chats that RobBubble partially has, people are to be emotionally pressured and blackmailed. Initially, there is to be a great deal of attention and love bombing, then emotional pressure is to be applied so that users should buy pictures of the streamers through certain links.
Pictures and voice messages from the streamers are supposed to be real and are pre-produced by the streamers themselves so that users truly feel as if they are chatting with the actual person.
How did he verify the allegations? On the one hand, he is said to have infiltrated the agency undercover with investigative journalist Christoph Kübel to obtain information. On the other hand, he sent a friend, a streamer who wanted to remain anonymous, to the agency to apply there. Through these individuals, he is said to have obtained further information, such as how closely Knossi’s company Fanblast and the agency are intertwined.
In his video, he also substantiates the allegations with chat excerpts and quotes from the whistleblowers who spoke with him. The Bild newspaper is also said to have received such chats and intimate information (via Bild.de, Paywall).
Moreover, there has already been a court case against Fanblast, which Knossi’s company lost, as RobBubble also refers to: According to the consumer advice center, Fanblast is said to have offered paid WhatsApp chats with purported actors, influencers, or erotic models, while agencies actually responded. Courts in Hamburg prohibited the misleading offer by injunction. Additionally, the courts identified violations of data protection, imprint, and youth protection regulations.
Only two companies are said to have responded to the YouTuber’s allegations
How are people reacting to the allegations? According to RobBubble, exactly two individuals have contacted him regarding the allegations by the editorial deadline:
- The COO of Fanblast: He stated that they could not comment due to an ongoing procedure, but they would not deceive anyone.
- A law firm on behalf of the Invictus Agency: They stated that the agency no longer has any operational business, and they reject criminal content.
- No statements regarding the allegations have come from other individuals, such as the streamers.
Streamer Knossi has been under criticism for some time because he made a name for himself with online casinos. The streamer talked about his past with online casinos in a stream. He concludes that he should not be compared to casino streamers and does not see himself as one: Knossi became huge on Twitch back then because he streamed online casinos but does not want to belong to “them”
