Making accusations in this way is kinda dirty
Dude was caught paying to break the hype train record, view botting would be very plausible.
And stating that would have negated my point, and I would have never replied to the comment.
He was previously caught live on stream artificially boosting his "hype train" or whatever it was Twitch called it. So it's not like this guy doesn't have a history.
Was he the one doing it? I thought it was someone else doing it for him,
He paid a close associate ~~a few thousand dollars~~ (I don't remember how much it actually was), and the associate then donated that same amount of money for the hype train. It's basically just a method to conceal it
Yeah but being in kahoots with one of his mods to boost the stream isn't really making all that much difference imo.
