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?
tootoughtoremember@lemmy.world 3 days ago
Yeah, seems like there’s at least as many people watching online as there are in-person, so 70k+ total seeing it live

I’m gonna put a wager down that this was bigger than the CO, record breaking rally.
I bet we’re 50k+ in person. I did some basic crowd size estimates using the park. Then Bernie said there were people up to a half mile away. I think they set an new record today.
