Streamers on the new streaming platform Kick.com have been using this abuse for months ever since the website was created. View botting yourself on other platforms is at least somewhat deterred by it being difficult to do, but Kick leaves itself wide open for anyone to view bot. Randomly see streamers with high concurrent viewer counts but a following that doesn't match? This explains it. Just FYI, Kick follow botted a lot of streamers to get them to affiliate, which everyone also knows.
I made this video for people that don't know much about Kick and want a good laugh. The website runs smoothly, but simply they haven't created a viewer list in an attempt to hide that #1 people freely view bot on the website and #2 that the website view bots streamers by counting viewers as multiple viewers.
There are many other problems with Kick, but this is maybe the more important one that people need to be aware about.
