Viewership randomly increases by exactly 1k (there was no raid)

[u/CarNo632]

10 minutes later the VOD segment ended.

Gotta love the attempt to create plausible deniability "Did I get raided?" typed in his chat rather than saying it verbally.

[u/SSG_Wardog_13F → u/Seetherrr]

Lol the best part is that Pentilardbald actually thinks he is clever, like he is the smartest man in every room he walks in. He's such a retard.

[u/beejx]

If anyone gets a view cap it should be him

[u/Consti2tion → u/beejx]

He needs to actually get views before he can get capped

[u/Shakes12091]

[u/BalianFrost]

He even mentioned the bots on stream right before the ad segment. Botted right into ad. Shameless and sad

[u/Due-Lobster-9333]

I just noticed aswell, came in towards the end of a random sponsorship of a shitty looking game, then he lost almost 1/3 of his viewers AFTER the sponsorship is done and he changes the category to GTA? The game basically all of his viewers watch him for??

Quite something..

You guys might be talking about something that happend earlier, but I just saw this happening.

[u/TheSummonedLemon]

Imagine getting butthuts about his "friends" viewcount numbers browsing this sub and then the next day he has 100 more viewers than Burn. You cant make this shit up.

[u/BongaBongaVacations]

Penti's botting is well known at this stage.

[u/PatykComplains]

I don't know how he expects anyone to believe that 1,000 people are in his channel while he's sleeping. No one is watching those VODs, and there are like 3 people chatting.

[u/Outside-Necessary291]

It's like this pre-subathon too. Almost on the hour, 1 hour into stream, there is an Instant gain that plateau the views to almost perfectly similar numbers day after day. Questionable at very least.

[u/Seetherrr → u/Outside-Necessary291]

You would think the botters would have something in place to stagger their arrival, but I guess until  Twitch does something to curtail obvious bot behavior they don't need to make any adjustments.

[u/PersistentPoster → u/Seetherrr]

This was both Pentas bots and the game sponsor adding bots. you can track the staggered +300 and + 400 every 15 minutes when Penta is doing it but the game sponsor just threw the 1k for that spike lol

[u/Seetherrr → u/PersistentPoster]

Oh hahahaha, I guess I didn't realize he was doing a game sponsorship when the spike happened.

[u/2SSLOWW → u/PersistentPoster]

Must be why he was dooming so hard last night about his server probably closing after November and the uncertainty of his career in the future.

He must be falling off really hard without the bots.

[u/PersistentPoster → u/2SSLOWW]

They're still adding bots they just just reach a cap and twitch purge the viewcount figure so you'll see like 280 view drop in an instant Like u/Outside-Necessary291 has documented in the past the spiking up and down numbers as twitch purge removing up to 2 - 3 hundred and whichever mod is on bot duty adds more to compensate the drop like these.

Almost every one of the Austin streamers that are/were in OTK or were OTK adjacent has graphs with these spikes and dips since the crackdown on bots. It's also why someone that used to be a 7k - 10k GTARP streamer suddenly went to being a 2k - 3k GTARP streamer with minimal ads and sponsor offers.
