The current cull is still within tolerance (10%+ of VOD numbers getting nuked is when things start getting sus, i.e. 4k for a 40k VOD, 30k for a 300k VOD etc.)
Patra's actual peak for this Xenogears stream was around 2.9k (just like her previous Xenogears stream).
Her old VODs got about 40k, and however this goes, we will have a good idea about how Youtube handles bot numbers.
1. No more axe-like culls = Youtube handles viewbots during the first part of verification (when her VOD was basically stuck at a number for about an hour or two) and anything afterwards are legitimate VOD views.
This implies that Sara and Koron's streams were viewFARMs and not viewBOTs (for anon :
>>24741166).
2. Further axe-like culls that exceed the tolerance = Viewbots are culled during VOD verification phase. This implies that Sara and Koron's streams were from viewBOTs.
Currently, 1. seems to be the most likely to happen. I will check until verification is complete, and we'll have an answer either way.
