I guess I got fired from being "DayZ Police". Wonder who I upset without interacting with them...

Disclaimer: Some might not understand how embeds work and how that can affect numbers.
I think anything is possible based on the numbers. I haven't made any claim against anyone.
I have only presented scenarios from different places. People can have different opinions.

[NAyRAM @NAyRAM00]

There's different kinds of ways to inflate numbers.
There's no way to confirm it for each case but it exists.
I see there is a pattern to it and it doesn't seem right to me. Each to their conclusion

The more I see the public discourse on this the less it all makes sense.

If Twitch can identify viewbots through historical data then why can't they strip only viewbots instead of just apply an arbitrary cap on views overall?

It's because they can't.

The viewbots people use today are primarily done through embedded traffic on third party sites. Distributed over many different areas and routed back to the channel. That means it's real people, real traffic, and real websites but the stream is in the corner as an ad or hidden as a single pixel. This still counts as a viewer and inflates the channels numbers.

The view capping they are planning doesn't actually fix the issue and it will likely paint targets on streamers backs. If someone gets capped it will be seen as "proof" of view botting even if it was someone else trying to hit that streamer. We already see tons of people using third party browser plugins and starting witch hunts over flimsy data thinking viewers are bots. This just makes it "official".

The real issue here is embeds over anything else. If you want to do actual damage to view botting then kill off embeds and shift everything back to user traffic in-site. From there you can actually fight this behavior instead of using blanket methods like this.
