==Overview==
Fruit Boom's YouTube channel was created on May 22, 2022, and he livestreams popular online multiplayer video games, such as Fortnite: Battle Royale, Roblox, and Minecraft, where he gives away free gift cards and in-game currencies to his subscribers. In his early videos during 2022, it seemed he posted livestreams from the Roblox experience named Pet Simulator X, although almost all his livestreams from Roblox were removed or listed as private, and he used to use an artificial intelligence female character as his appearance during his livestreams to pretend his gender as a female with stock images of individual females as his profile picture that were changed frequently.AnimeAnimationGames.

According to videos posted by his fanbase and the Roblox community on YouTube, it seems like Fruit Boom was scamming his audience with "free" gift cards for selected video game consoles and Amazon.com, as well as in-game content giveaways from various Roblox experiences.
Fruit Boom's current content centers around an interaction mini-game on his livestreams, notably titled "Find One Fortnite Skin I Don't Own...", where viewers need to name a Fortnite skin/character/outfit he doesn't own in his locker, and if somebody names a cosmetic outfit he doesn't own, they will win up to 13,500 v-bucks. Every 5–10 minutes during the livestream, he will do a giveaway where every viewer needs to follow each step of leaving a like on the livestream, subscribing to his channel, and spamming "me" in the live chat for a chance to win v-bucks from his gift cards, but only to find out the user he picked from the live chat via Nightbot was not subscribed to his channel and denied the giveaway. Furthermore, he will give away all his stacks of Fortnite V-Bucks gift cards and nominate them as their "biggest donator" with a shout-out if users send him $50-$100 (USD) donations through the Super Chat. Despite all that, the livestreams are pre-recorded, and the streamer rarely acknowledges the donations sent by his subscribers. The purpose of running those livestreams is to make viewers subscribe to his channel and send him donations.
