>>102890141if it's youtube redirecting actual viewers, then they're not bots.
thing is because the patterns are so fucking obvious for some people like jurard I kinda doubt it's literally all just o algo shit. the super obvious ones like that where he has 300 viewers one day 12k the next are horseshit absolutely.
the slow "it's minorly engined, maybe" kind of thing could be algo? but someone would have to go test this. just leave autoplay on and see if youtube pulls you into another stream. if it's repeatable and multiple people can confirm it, then there's stronger evidence of it. if youtube naturally does it, we should be able to easily see it for ourselves. the fact nobody's pointed it out all this time however makes me kinda doubt it's that simple.
