Youtube is like
>huh? why are hundredths of thousands of American accounts subbing to a Japanese channel without content?
and the same can be done to live viewers, the EN's always get 1:1 viewer to like ratio and poll participation, something impossible because that would imply a few things, each mutually exclusive and thus making the irregularities more prominent to anyone with BRAIN
>no one is watching on embedded platforms where you don't have the "LIKE/DISLIKE" feature
aka, watching on Holodex/Jetri and similar platforms with embedded players, specially those with multi-view feature
you could ask the devs of those sites for their concurrent users/visitors and, unless they open the video with the only purpose to like it and continue viewing in the embedded platform, none of those concurrent users are being counted
>no one is watching with a non-browser solution
aka, watching through a local media player like MPV
>every single viewer is watching on a platform that allows to interact in chat with poll features
aka, no one is watching from smartTV, consoles or streaming media players (roku, firestick, appleTV, chrome cast)
>there's not a single viewer watching without a google account (to like a video you need to sign in)
the only way to restrict someone to watch a video is first having it flagged as "mature content" because that would need you to sign in with a "verified" +18 account (unless you are using something that bypasses the check like MPV)
don't believe me? open literally any other live stream, I'll guarantee that NONE of them will have a 1:1 like to viewer ratio
