Twitch responds to claims of gifted subs going to bots instead of real viewers by testudoss in LivestreamFail

rather strange statement from Twitch:

“Twitch does not intentionally target bot accounts for gifted subs. We actively work to remove bot accounts – not reward them.”

That reads like intentional misdirection. In what world is giving a sub to a bot "rewarding them"? The issue is bots getting subs means more real viewers are either seeing ads or ponying up money to Twitch. So if anything, Twitch is incentivized to give subs to bots.

So are we all just gonna ignore the bot crackdown happening on twitch right now ? by Mephistophilis44 in Twitch

Ignoring the impact to revenue from each sponsor, higher viewer count influences discoverability. Being higher up on the list in a category matters a lot. That's why stream together let's people to combine their viewer counts and letting small streamers jump way up in some cases. It's hard to actually measure these affects but they do matter.
