Never left a stream so fast...
Just watched a streamer lash out on a viewer for not "showing up enough."
Like what???
Have we forgotten that our viewers are people too? They have responsibilities of their own and their own lives outside of your community. God forbid they don't drop everything to watch 24/7 😱
Also, like... viewers don't owe us anything? To me, I am appreciative that there are people who would make the effort to even stop by for a few minutes to say hello and wish me luck on the stream??
Jesus Christ... no one should ever have to be publicly shamed for something so stupid 😭
oh and what's this?
Class Identity Wrap-up
We don’t want any of our classes to be viewed as the DPS class—all three classes should be capable of roughly the same damage output.
A quick update on viewcounts. We have teams and tech dedicated to ensuring that the views that show up on channels reflect actual viewership, and aren’t artificially inflated in any way. Ultimately, metrics on Twitch should represent the real and growing communities that show up and participate on channels, so we regularly update detection tools and methods.
We recently made changes that meaningfully improved our ability to identify viewbots, inauthentic viewership, and other potentially fake engagement. These changes will roll out over the next few weeks.
So, if your channel was viewbotted, or if some of your viewers are artificial or inflated, you will see an impact to your channel’s viewcount. This also means that third party sites that publish unverified Twitch viewcounts are going to see changes to that data over time.
We recognize that viewbotting can be out of the streamer’s control. In making these changes, our goal is to improve the experiences for both streamers and viewers.
