  Man. Hasan puts up numbers. How “real” are twitch viewer counts? Is that bot inflated or like, a genuine count?

    This site says about 80% of his viewers are logged-in Twitch viewers for this stream. Which is about the same as it was for his stream from yesterday.

    As I understand it, it’s not that 20% are definitely bots or that 80% are definitely “real” viewers, but that there’s a greater likelihood of non-logged-in could be bots. I believe if you watch Twitch from an embedded video on another site then you’d be included in the non-logged-in view count.

      Yeah I always wonder the same thing with YT viewers. I think its mostly real.

      So probably 35-50k watching across all streams?

        Yeah, seems like there’s at least as many people watching online as there are in-person, so 70k+ total seeing it live
