>>98749964>Any proof or is it just the feeling?Here some did a write up:
https://www.reddit.com/r/HoloStatistics/comments/1jgwihw/new_advanced_botting_since_march_5th_2025_from/It's likely view farms rather then bots, hence the difference in behavior to the usual, but yeah it's pretty much all artificial.
You can look through their minecraft streams on
vrabi.net, they're all like this. Linear or even exponential viewer increases, up to 5-10x the viewer count with basically no changes in chat activity.
>They can raid each other just fine Here, pic related, is one of Maria's 11 hour streams. Gets raided twice for ~7k new "viewers" after holding 400-500 for ~6 hours. The first raid doesn't even result in an increase in chat activity when almost 10 times the viewers get raided in. The stream has a total of 396 unique chatters during the 11 hours, and a total of 2684 chat messages being sent.
Along with the unnatural viewer increases and the viewers beign able to be raided, none of the other metrics make any sense compared to other streams with similar viewership.
>They get much better video viewsPart of this is due to stream lengths, streaming longer means more viewer churn so more initial vod views, but it is possible not all of the artifical views are getting properly filtered like bots normally would
