I've actually streamed a bit in the past and and I would get 10-20 viewers doing a specific thing but still only get chat messages every few minutes at most, it's normal. And I know it wasn't my friends silently boosting me to 2view status because it only happened for one specific thing (DCSS tournaments, after shilling myself all over the internet) whereas I'd get like 2-5 views playing retro games or pokemon romhacks.
Anyway, I'm sure that because of the way Twitch counts views, some percentage of the people aren't actually watching the stream. On a huge streamer like IM, it could be dozens, maybe even hundreds. But the idea that 5,000 people flood into every Ironmouse stream, mute it, and go watch markiplier instead is retarded. The only reason I could see for someone to believe that is that they're a tribalfag who's upset that IM gets better numbers than Holo/Niji/whoever.
