Streamers of Apex Legends: Twitch has become one of the most popular platforms for streamers in recent years. Twitch has been used by gamers and content producers to expand their fan bases and grow their fan bases. However, starting from scratch is not an easy task. A small number of gamers use unfair means to accomplish their goals, while the majority of streamers prefer to work their way up the ranks. Diegosaurs and FaithTTV, two Apex Legends streamers, have recently been charged with view-botting on Twitch.
With the use of bots in nearly every aspect, the Esports industry has been rigged. Even a few professionals have admitted to using aimbots and other applications to cheat while playing video games. In the streaming industry, view-botting is also a common practice. Diegosaurs and FaithTTV are the most recent streamers to be accused of using it, though many others have used it in the past.
FaithTTV and Diegosaurs, two Apex Legends streamers, have been basking in the spotlight for a while. However, it appears that bots have a significant role to play in the sudden increase in popularity.
TSMFTX ImperialHAL, an Apex Legends streamer, brought up the accusation against the aforementioned streamers on social media. ImperialHAL did not simply make statements without providing any supporting evidence; rather, he did so.
The streamer made note of the fact that hundreds of viewers on both accounts were added on the same day. The fact that none of these accounts follow the streamers is most important. The gamer also noted that they receive an immediate viewer boost after the streams, which is improbable.
Several sponsored streams have been done by Diegosaurs and FathTTV. Surprisingly, ImperialHAL notes that both sponsored and unsponsored streams continue to draw the same audience.
Fans did not hold back from responding after the allegation gained widespread attention. While some have made similar arguments, others have pleaded with him to look into the competitive aspects of other games as well.
Some people have even mentioned how many viewers the streamers have. Their chatbox is completely inactive, though.
The accusation is serious, and the supporters have also voiced their displeasure with it. It will be interesting to see how the view botting problem affects their standing within the Apex Legends community.
