Hmm. Is this being applied consistently? I remember plenty of Rust event streams AFK for hrs milking KPP. Didn't Aria's spycam streams get funded by Kick Studios? Didn't @PirateSoftware publicly brag about KPP revenue from his 24/7 ferret channel? @kick@Svntvmvriv@crashoverride
idk if only there was a really good offer on the table for all of this to finally end but the other side is a brick wall with a giant ego
oh well we continue being annoying ig
Holy shit is everyone associated with this platform a liar?
Yes, creators fake their numbers. Kick also inflates numbers. They boost partnered creators to keep them happy and on the platform
Hiding viewcounts gives them even more freedom to selectively promote whoever they want
Kick CEO Eddie says he’s aware of many big streamers who faked their way to fame using bots
"Some ppl are very big in the streaming world bc they have faked their way to the top, there's many..I know a lot of them that've done a very good..very smart, they've used these bots to completely fake it till they made it..very clever kids and adults"
"But I think this has to stop..we have to put less emphasis on this number..tell streamers to hide their view counts..it will not effect ur discoverability on the platform (Kick)"
I don’t know who needs this right now, but hey it’s not too late and you still have time. Life can happen and it sucks, it’ll bring you so much joy and still kick your ass at times. Despite that, you’ll get to where you need to be. If you have something you love and you’re passionate about please feed that side of yourself more. Be kinder and surround yourself with genuine people, that helps make the difference. You got this.
@nmplol@korzawyd criticizing viewbotting on twitch whilst wearing a t-shirt repping the most botted streaming platform is an interesting choice mr polom 🤔
@Dexerto Twitch desperately needs leadership from people who actually grew up in the livestreaming space and understand the culture, incentives and ecosystem beyond raw spreadsheets, statistics and monetization
