FF14 live streamer, sometimes other things but mainly FF14 with my FC "ONE". Still working out schedules and set ups but hoping to get things going! Come watch!
Also I just mentioned the income thing because...let's be honest, no one should deny it. why limit the viewer count which limits income possibilities? My job makes me question company income, so I don't know why streamers/twitch would want to intentionally limit their income...
I mean, if it's optional sure, could do this as a "first x number of viewers can participate in this special event", but otherwise I don't see this being something most streamers would do. More viewers = more ads/subs/donos/bits = more income for affiliates/partners/twitch.
Earlier this month, we shared plans to cap CCV on channels our systems detect are receiving sustained, significant inauthentic traffic - and we’ll continue applying those caps as part of our ongoing viewbot detection work.
Now, we’re introducing a new, optional View Count Cap feature that creators can use if they believe they're being targeted by bots. Set a cap based on your normal audience size, and we will cap your CCV to match that value.
You can turn it on ahead of time as a preventative measure, or enable it during a stream if you think your channel is being targeted. The optional cap stays in place until you turn it off. Partners will have access to this feature to start, and we plan to expand to our wider community soon.
Note, you aren’t required to turn the self-cap on. This feature is being offered for you to use as you deem appropriate, and you can use it at your discretion.
We’ll continue to explore ways to target viewbots and protect our community from botting across the board.
To apply the optional cap, head to your Navigate to Settings > Stream Manager:

I guess I just don't see how this will mitigate viewbots, it just limits how many people can watch a stream. It'll just make viewbots (intentional or not) make it impossible for interested new viewers or regulars to actually watch, so I'm not fully seeing how it'll help...
@Based_lalafell@MogTalkTweets@FrostyMog Just because you can complete a triathlon faster than others can, it doesn't mean you can win a trophy/medal if you don't actually enter a competition and abide by the requirements.
They chose not to enter, so they can't win anything they didn't compete for...
that and I doubt anyone will see this thread so if anything it's me venting out the frustration to the void lol
Anyway, my brain is happy again, I shall now sleep
I feel gaslit by all the answers being shown in comments of this post...
5+1=6, and let me explain why with every bit of logic I can give...
First, the ultimate given. 1+5=6. This is the most important part of what I'm going to go into in this thread as it is the base...
Anyway, this is why I need to NOT scroll through twitter at almost 2am as I can give into ragebait/gaslighting very easily but this was the one time I actually had to let it out because it was bothering my mind way too much as it reminds me of stuff I deal with at work...
