>>2613612>>2615489>>2619058Something I noticed watching Pekora vs Botan stream last day, is that the live views kept rising and dropping on a clear pattern. Everytime they were on the wait for a new game period, the live would drop to 23-24k, and as soon as they started the actual game rounds, it would go up to around 28k, every single time.
I dont really believe something like 4k people (nearly 20% of the audience) kept constantly leaving and coming back to the stream at the exact time games would start or end, there`d be no way to know it, nor there`d be a reason for you to keep coming back and out again every single time, when you know there will be another round.
Im thinking this fluctuation in the numbers has something to do that "spam viewer" bullshit. When out of the game, the viewers` chat activity would fall, maybe they`d browse a second window while waiting; and when a new round started, they`d tab right back, and get more active on chat again.
Im thinking youtube doesnt count as live viewers those kinds of viewers who are not sending messages in chat and/or doesnt have the stream as their first tab.
