Special Containment Procedures: Any content uploaded by SCP-4999-J onto the internet is to be immediately removed and downloaded for archiving purposes. SCP-4999-J's social media presence is to be heavily monitored/censored from the general public. Should any individual witness an instance of SCP-4999-J, they are to be immediately amnesticized.

Description SCP-4999-J designates a group of self proclaimed "Vloggers", who will manifest themselves approximately every 24 hours. The location of manifestation will vary, but previous examples include locations such as hospitals, city streets, homeless shelters and Japanese forests. SCP-4999-J will manifest only in the presence of one human person at a time. All subjects recorded to date have been in terminally poor health, are critically ill, are homeless, or run a quiet, upstanding business. All subjects involved have seemed to be aware of the presence of all instances of SCP-4999-J, showing signs of distress and anger when interacting with SCP-4999-J. Upon manifestation, the various instances of SCP-4999-J will begin surrounding the subject in question, and will perform various actions depending on the state the subject is in.

  • If the subject has been seriously injured, one of the instances will produce a cellular phone and will begin recording.1 A second instance will produce various "healing crystals", and will attempt to sell them to the subject. Finally, a third instance will begin crying into the camera.
  • If the subject is critically ill, all instances will apply face masks and will begin applying litres of hand sanitizer to themselves and the subject while recording. Should the subject make any bodily function related to their affliction (Eg. sneezing/coughing), all instances will immediately recoil and make loud noises until bursting out of the room. If there are any windows present in the room, the instance with the phone will continue filming through the glass.
  • If the subject is homeless, all instances will immediately start "making it rain" on the subject, often throwing small bills and coins with increasing force at the subject. After throwing varying amounts of USD at the subject, (Usually within the range of 10-15 dollars) they will continue talking to the camera as they search out another homeless subject. This will continue, on average, until 4 or more homeless individuals have been "helped".

Should the subject pass away before/during SCP-4999-J's arrival, all instances will immediately begin crying into the camera, expressing apparent disbelief and commenting on how "crazy" it is. After roughly 10 more minutes, they will end the recording and will immediately post the video onto numerous video sharing sites. While Foundation censorship teams have, on record, been fast enough to remove the videos before they are viewed, there have been 4 cases where the videos have reached the "trending tab" instead.

SCP-4999-J will always start and end their appearances with phrases not dissimilar to those said by various other online celebrities. Any video posted by SCP-4999-J will almost always ask the viewer to "like and subscribe", as well as to "Dab" on "the haters". To date, all events have lasted at minimum 10 minutes, and may go as long as 20. Any outside individuals that attempt to interrupt SCP-4999-J's proceedings will be immediately vaporized.

Discovery: SCP-4999-J was discovered in late 2017 when one of SCP-4999-J's videos: - "You won't believe what we found in this creepy forest!!! (GONE WRONG) (NOT CLICKBAIT)" went viral on multiple video sharing platforms. After information gathered from the UIU suggested the Foundation investigate the video, surveillance footage was found of SCP-4999-J materializing in the maternity wing of the St John's Hospital in Maplewood Minnesota, where the instances began "pranking" a newborn infant and their mother by attempting to hide behind various obstacles inside the room without being spotted.

While sightings of SCP-4999-J have been most common in recent times, evidence gathered throughout the years have provided reason to believe that SCP-4999-J has been around since at least 2016. Termination requests are currently pending.
