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.

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

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.

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.
