- Twitch’s new anti-bot system caused viewer counts to nosedive across hundreds of channels, with some losing over half their displayed audience.
- Channels running 24/7 reruns saw the biggest drops, with Mira falling from 2,000+ to under 200 viewers overnight.

He was previously caught live on stream artificially boosting his “hype train” or whatever it was Twitch called it. So it’s not like this guy doesn’t have a history.
Was he the one doing it? I thought it was someone else doing it for him,
He paid a close associate
a few thousand dollars(I don’t remember how much it actually was), and the associate then donated that same amount of money for the hype train. It’s basically just a method to conceal itYeah but being in kahoots with one of his mods to boost the stream isn’t really making all that much difference imo.
