Trainwrecks, one of the biggest advocates for battling bots, has once again brought up the issue of view-botting on Kick and Twitch. In a recent stream, Trainwrecks expressed his frustration with the rampant use of bots on these platforms, claiming that almost everyone is doing it. This is not the first time Trainwrecks has spoken out against botting, as he previously accused Twitch of having the number one view-botter in the industry.
View-botting is a common practice where individuals artificially increase their viewership by using fake viewers. This is a problem that all streaming platforms face, and it can have serious consequences for both creators and the platforms themselves. Trainwrecks believes that the issue is so widespread that 99% of streamers are using bots, and he is one of the few who is not.
During a Twitter conversation about Kick's Creator Incentive Program, Trainwrecks expressed his concern that the program may also be rewarding view-botters. He believes that it is important for platforms to address this issue and ensure that legitimate, hard-working streamers are not left behind.
In response to Trainwrecks' concerns, Kick acknowledged that view-botting is a problem that all streaming platforms face. They are actively working to address this issue and make adjustments to their Creator Incentive Program. However, they admit that it is a difficult problem to tackle and it makes their job harder as well.
Trainwrecks also believes that Twitch needs to take a more active role in addressing the issue, as it is more prevalent on their platform. He argues that real change needs to start from Twitch in order to see a truly bot-free streaming landscape.
The problem with view-botting goes beyond the unfair advantage it gives to creators. It also poses a threat to the platforms themselves, as advertisers cannot be sure of the real viewership numbers. Both Kick and Twitch take this issue seriously and have taken steps to combat it. However, it is still a challenging problem and there is a lot of work to be done in order to create a bot-free streaming environment.
With the co-founder of Kick speaking out against view-botting, it is clear that this is not an easy issue to fix. Bots are still a prevalent issue on both Kick and Twitch, and it will take a collective effort from both platforms to address it.
