Here's a GREAT solution for new streamers and new viewers! I myself am new to twitch, both for streaming and viewing... I have no subscriptions and no idea who to follow. What if there was just something like "Twitch Surfing" kind of like chat roulette... It's a channel that randomly connects you to a random channel for 5 (maybe 10) minutes before jumping to the next random channel or until the view manually hits next... I you like what you see you can go to the streamers channel manually via a link on Twitch Surf, and continue watching there. This would be a great method of exposing streamers to new viewers, while simultaneously exposing new views to streamers. Win/Win right?

Twitch couldn't care less about the smaller channels, it's very sad since there are so many people who want to grow on there.

If I was twitch, I would divide all the streams into three categories on every game - Those with 0 - 100 viewers, those with 101 - 1000 viewers and the last category for those with above 1000 viewers. That way it will be easier for people to be discovered and the ones who already are discovered have their own category.

keybladesarah Twitch already divides streams into games, so if there was a category for those with 50 - 100 viewers then there's not many streams in that same category. It's also way more efficient than the system that is now, where there's from 0 viewers at bottom that are helpless. Also, if you have 50 viewers then you honestly got nothing to complain about lol. I'm lucky if I get 1 viewer when I stream.

A simple solution would be to have an option for broadcasters to have a captcha of sorts requiring people to answer a question or put a puzzle together before speaking in the room. Also, if they fail to complete the puzzle in a certain amount of time like 2 mins they are kicked from the channel, further more, each time they fail to complete they get a note on their account, 20 or more failures in a certain amount of time and their account gets temporary blocked. To go even further, to get unblocked they will have to wait a week for the first offence, 2 weeks for second and 3rd is a perma ban. As always insta-ban for any account suspected of botting that has proof.

When I was viewbotted, it was done by a guy who honestly thought he was "helping" me by boosting my views without me ever asking for it. Once I found out, I immediately notified twitch support (they gave him a very swift ban... luckily he also streamed himself setting up the viewbot program, so it was an open shut case) , and I also addressed it on stream (and highlighted it) so my viewers knew what happened. As far as preventing it... there really isn't much we, as streamers, can do. So long as our communities and twitch knows that we don't use nor endorse the use of viewbots, we're fine. If twitch were to implement a way for smaller streamers to get noticed.. that'd help against the "Pay for views" services. However, it wouldn't stop trolls from hitting random/targeted channels with ill-will. That is something twitch itself needs to fight internally.

This video was pretty informative, unfortunately we wish there was a solution at the end of the video. We were victims of viewbots today on stream. We have been streaming for 6 months and have 2400 followers. Today while streaming FIFA 15, someone came into our stream threatening us and demanded a ransom of FIFA Currency. We quickly banned the account thinking nothing of it. Minutes later a very similar user name said the same thing, we banned him too. Within seconds we got a barrage of followers, (at least 300) in seconds. We quickly ended the stream after knowing something was wrong. We filed a report with twitch, and within minutes our account was suspended. Even after breaking no rules, we cannot stream. Not to mention, contacting twitch is basically a joke. Other than one email address for filing complaints we have yet to speak to anyone that can help us. View bots ruin this community. There is no positive side to them. If you have a good personality and good content, viewers will come. Nobody likes a phony.

This in no way is a problem. you shouldn't have told twitch, Soon as you said that I knew what they would do. It isn't being a phony, look at these famous people, their entirely fake with alter egos. C'mon.. the only people that hate view bots are the people that lack content, personality, and skill. and don't want to share the millions of dollars they've made playing video games, while living in their parents basements. that have literally not put in a single days worth of hard work. geuss what.. fuck those people twitch - wizardofshame no viewbots yet, looking forward to em.

I stream 6 nights a week, 60 hours a week, and have been denied partnership 9 times. Twitch just finally gave me a reason saying something like "It appears your channel is having the viewer count boosted, and because of this we cannot consider partnering you." I have no idea if I am being botted or not... But this si simply not fair. I bust my ass on twitch and things like this completely ruin someones goals... Using the site socialblade.com I can see that I gain 500+ followers a month and my growth is amazing. I have a very strong passionate following, and even average $1000+ a month in donations, yet twitch still wont partner me, because of claimed view botting. I have no clue what to do at this point. But this much is true. A:Twitch has no solid proof anyone is doing it, since they said it "appears" it is happening to my channel. B: They are powerless to stop it, because I have asked them for help numerous times to make it stop if it is indeed true. They have given me no reply about what I can do, or if I can ever even be partnered at this point..

Listen guys view botting is not needed, if you target the right niche audience from various networks you will get them soon enough. TIPS: 1. Search Twitter add the people that have the same niche as you do. 2. When running stream set it so that your previous casts show so if anyone does stumble on you, they can watch any one of them. 3. Export your casts to KZitem, this will get more views and will help build your audience. 4. Always link your networks in the videos, you need to brand your name, you need to be active and consistent and not give up. 5. Tell everyone and anyone what you do, word of mouth plays a big part don't be afraid to tell people your a streamer. I'm new in this business myself and i'm doing research on it so i know not to go wrong. That's why i found out about xanbot, nightbot, moobot, and viewbot and i found out what viewbot does, and for me I will never use it. I will get viewers in time the legit way, everything starts small and becomes bigger just remember that!

I DID NOT ask for this and the sound of the notification was getting really annoying when going off *constantly*...

I personally think they need to make a special category for "top streamers" There's no reason for them to even be in the channel to be honest. Then that gives all of us low-mid range streamers a chance to get new viewers. They also need to break it down by age range, and gender. Girls instantly get more veiwers than guys when starting out. It's not impossible to get viewers you just got to find the right game.

Showing whatever from the computer you are using is not going to prove anything, not saying it is you who is botting. Bots are annoying and can do anything as long as Twitch is not going to do anything about it. Bots can fake the view count, they can be added to the viewer list, they can follow channels, they can actually even chat (automated of course). Totally agree they need to fix this and they actually can. Too bad they don't give a #%@# since it helps Twitch. Look at how big we are, look at the huge traffic we have, we are a big company that's doing great! Not to mention how much of that is actually fake!!!

It is hard to get any exposure on twitch because of the amount of sponsored/partnered streamers on there. depending on what game I'm playing I can hold 50 viewers legitimately but if I want to play some off the wall throwback i'll average maybe 10 viewers.

On the other hand, it takes hard work, time and commitment to earn followers, and I mean REAL people. For me I’ll stream for 3 hrs and have a bot viewer, which makes you think you have a person, except when they don’t talk the entire stream,it’s dumb tbh because I love talking to my viewers, so I ask them to text in chat if they are real and if I get no response then I know.

I have strayed away from streaming for a long time because I know the new streamers are buried in the directory by the thousands of others. I just gave in and started streaming, for 2 days now, and I have streamed for atleast 14 hours in those 2 days and I have 1 follower and 35 views. I get that, but still I would NEVER viewbot because I want to be known by what kind of streamer I am, not how many views I have. I think twitch should do what you explained with the NEW STREAMER SPOTLIGHT. This could be like a hour or so time that a few new streamers become spotlighted. Then after that hour or so few new streamers show up. In all honestly though, a lot of these big streamers got big because they were youtubers or come from HUGE gaming communities, and I would recommend if you can to find a good community and promote yourself as a new streamer in their community it will draw them to want to be a part of it. Yea, I know I'm low time right now but I still have fun. I am crazeeglue on twitch and I support this message.

I experienced this myself, however it effected me so badly that I get nothing but rejections for partnership. So I had to stop streaming and start over. Sadly not a single person tries to help you on twitch, they ask you to stop streaming or ignore the issue. Yet they still do nothing and keep rejecting me, I even lost viewers because of that issue... too much drama :( any advice?

View botting can be very beneficial to smaller channels. When streaming a big game like League of Legends, it is really tough to get noticed no matter how great of a stream you have. View bots can allow such users to get their channel up the ranks. Twitch needs to take smaller channels into consideration.

'View botting can be very beneficial to smaller channels.' You are cheating and deceiving others. There is nothing beneficial about that and, if you are doing it on purpose then you should be traced and IP banned. People like you are part of the problem and we don't want you on Twitch.

zenmonk Genryu What he meant is view bots get the smaller people up the page to get noticed by real people, once you have a few 100 real people watching your stream you stop botting. Twitch really need to help smaller people out, all they do is push the new people down and put their partners at the top because they make money off of it, it's bollocks.

Viewbots are like SPAM BOTS They can have a CAPTCHA to minimize the vewbots entries, before entering and during an hour of gaming without interrupting. Accounts that were used will be banned also I like the way you recommend the low viewers channels

I'm a new streamer and I've only been doing it for a few days now but the four five followers I have are way better then the six hundred fake followers you could get. If you wanna get big or known you have to take the steps. You can't cheat it's not right or fair for the people who work hard for this.

It is hard to stream specially getting less then 10 views. Twitch should do something for newer streamer to get notice for sure. And for viewbotting is such a bad move for people want it to be rank up fast. It's better to work hard and get that views without any cheats.

Twitch should only allow one account per IP Address with a limit as to how often you can cancel an account. How to block someone who is changing IP address as well is beyond me.

Isn't there a way to make "counter" script to detect and deny the viewbot scrips? I know not all viewbots are used by scrips. But the once that are giving the most views are def using a script. And they need to be stopped.

how do you know if you have been viewbotted? Sometimes we will have between 70 - 120 odd folk watching our stream, it creeps up over time and then stays fairly static but we don't have an awful lot of people chatting so when people come in they ask us if we are view botting. Is that what happens, what does a streamer viewbotting look like?

it's very easy to notice viewbots by seeing the steamer has lots of viewers but no chat activity. those bots will likely have irregular names and have no profile set up. I have seen the many times and it pisses me off that people still get away with this and ruins other legit streamers opportunities because they fail at attracting attention

Twitch isn't going to do anything about it because, it benefits them not to. Viewbotting isn't going anywhere, believe me. At some point they'll claim to have "addressed" the problem simply to appease the masses while fixing nothing. I'm not going to get into the business model (as I think it's deplorable), suffice it to say, if KZitem is anything to go by it's the ruthless, and devious that grow. Remember KZitem circa 2010? Around that time people began exploiting KZitem's mobile view system to grow their channels artificially. Many of these people are now the face of KZitem. Was anything ever done about it? Nope. Prior to 2010 KZitem was a nice little place to upload content you wanted noticed. Now it's a cesspit of botted copycat channels. Twitch is heading down the same rout unfortunately.
