MODERATORS
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.
