Following Twitch\u2019s recent action on tackling creators using bots to boost their viewer numbers, many high-profile streamers have expressed their opinions on the topic. Slots streamer Trainwreck, naturally, has given his two cents about the reported temporary 24% drop in total viewership following the crackdown:<\/p>\n

Based on my understanding of what can be seen on the backend of Kick, Kick can see exactly who is botting\/being botted, some are victims of botting harassment and aren’t to be blamed, however, most, are botting and hiding behind that same plausible deniability; because of this,\u2026<\/p>\n

He went into how people who are using bots often have some form of \u201cplausible deniability,\u201d which means that Kick can\u2019t take action against these accounts. He then targeted Twitch, remarking that it has 15 years of experience in the space \u2013 versus less than three years for Kick \u2013 to figure out who is botting and fix the problem.<\/p>\n

called for improved security on streaming platforms and third-party independent audits of viewership<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The 34-year-old has called for improved security on streaming platforms and third-party independent audits of viewership figures. He remarked that all the safety checks are completed by people who stand to benefit from higher viewer numbers.<\/p>\n

Trainwreck ended his thread by suggesting that even if streaming platforms can\u2019t take action against accounts obviously using bots, that they can stop recommending them on the front page or featuring them on social media.<\/p>\n

This feedback comes a few days after xQc told his followers how they could see which Twitch streamers were viewbotting<\/a> after the recent purge.<\/p>\n
