>>16663020I used a Python program called Chat Replay Downloader to get all chat messages, then made some modifications in order for it to count and print the number of unique chatters. I had to do this because it's hard to compare Kiara's streams to others since hers are much longer than average.
Anyway, here's an example: In the first 3 hours of her recent Link's Awakening's stream, there were 3644 unique chatters and 32670 messages. Compare that to another recent stream, Fauna's Skyrim. Scroll down a bit to see it
https://www.hololyzer.net/youtube/channel/UCO_aKKYxn4tvrqPjcTzZ6EQ.htmlFor hers, there were 3542 unique chatters and 25266 messages, so the number of chatters is similar. However, while Kiara's CCV peaked at around 4600, Fauna's peaked at 6500, with an average of 5000, with a really sharp drop at the end when she switched to SC reading.
From that, I can see 3 possibilities:
1. YT is still culling Kiara's live viewer count
2. Kiara just has more chatters compared to others
3. Kiara has higher viewer rotation, with many leaving and entering
I've compared Kiara to other recent streams with similar chatter count besides this one and this still holds true.
