    His twitch username is twitch.tv/alcohol_arcade
    Seems like he only streams to gain money. Shame. Not sure though, but I don't like that.
    NOTE - There is no hatred involved in this video. This is purely an educational/instructional video on how to determine if someone is a viewbotter/is viewbotting/ or is being viewbotted.
    Viewbotters are toxic to the twitch community and actually ruin it for people who are trying to stream legitimately. If you do spot a twitch viewbotter, take the following steps:
    1) Inform the streamer. Ask them if they are aware if they're being viewbotted or if they know what a viewbot is. If they are unaware, tell them to report it to Twitch immediately. If they deny any allegations, report it yourself to Twitch Support.
    2) Report the user: / portal. .
    3) Gather evidence and create a forum post: / portal. .
    - Make your post under Current Issues/News or Legal.
    4) Spread the news to anyone in their stream, including their moderators, as well as on social media. Contact @TwitchSupport if you can.
    Thank you for taking the time to watch this video.

    So if I had a giveaway on my channel, for lets say, a ps4, but I give info down below on it, suddenly I am fake?
    My only question. I have seen many twitch users have giveaways without posting any info on it and still actually give away something.

    3:51 I'm confused on the 4th row 2nd person is AimzAtchu? Because this is a bot account does that means Aimz has used views/follow bots before?

    • @DatOwl
      @DatOwl  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      • Gerardo • Potentially, or they have been followed/view botted. If it frequently happens and you see accounts similar to the ones I showed in the video in his chat (similar casing by the name), then yes the possibility for viewbotting is there and could be on his part. But once again, it is hard to prove.

      Alcohol Arcade I can revise the video. It will not be entirely removed until evidence of the 3,000 users is provided.

    • @DatOwl

      Alcohol Arcade By the way, as to if I monetize my videos :) : gyazo.com/d87fe5c3ebf7a19f4849032840648ac0

    • @DatOwl
      @DatOwl  9 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Alcohol Arcade Not donations, we are beyond that. Please refrain from attacking once again. I am asking for the 3,000 alleged followers that switched to your channel during that time after the charity livestream.

    • @DatOwl
      @DatOwl  9 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Alcohol Arcade You still haven't proven anything to me. Evidence will always outweigh words. I have provided mine. Still waiting for yours.
      Live-feeds show that your channel did not grow significantly until well-over a week had gone by from the end of the charity livestream (which would be the 11th, since that was the day booked on the website) :
      gyazo.com/bd18c3b0ac540e95f75c65bcd54e5a8b
      This does not make much sense, growth would occur during the stream, since your channel is being promoted on the stream.

    • @DatOwl
      @DatOwl  9 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      Alcohol Arcade This growth from the earlier months (jan, feb, mar) in the year wouldn't make sense either, unless there was some experimentation with some sort of viewbot: gyazo.com/15f06ae5e25dbc65132c8f15edb9f369
      *EDIT* By growth, I mean views. This is a total views chart.
      I hadn't met you until recently.

    1 way that I know he is veiwbotting is that he has 11 players in his mps on mineplex with 170 viewers. On the other hand datowl has 80 mps players and 120ish viewers. C the difference?

  • @ImDewys
    @ImDewys 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Sadly this wont make a difference anymore, as twitch doesnt ban for view/follow botting because there is no way to prove if they are doing it themselves or if someone is doing it to them, sucks really but if they exposed themself or something they would be banned but otherwise not :/

    • @DatOwl
      @DatOwl  9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Im Dewy Yes, very true. It's hard to prove that someone is viewbotting without essentially seeing their panel on stream. It's very unfortunate, however Twitch is doing their best to spot channels that do this consistently. I'm in hopes that they'll announce something soon about these channels.

  • @MsK4YY
    @MsK4YY 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    I dont understand how they can have the energy to create all these accounts, fix all the bots, and all the other hassle to do all this stuff just to stream while desperately trying to grt fake views. I stream with only around 5 people and at most 10 and it's actually fun playing a game with people that actually likes to watch (or listen) and it's even more rewarding when you have followers that becomes a regular viewer of yours even if it's just a 1-2

  • @Cabbiterz

    It's not always the broadcaster who 'viewbots'. That's assumptive. I've been viewbotted from an entirely different entity before multiple times.

      @DatOwl  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      ItzPhantom Parker did this to raise money for his MineCon trip so he could meet his fans and attend an event. He doesn't do these things on the daily either (doesn't say "$1 for a signed minecraft toy"), it was a one time or very rare occurrence.

    • @DatOwl

      Alcohol Arcade The fact isn't the amount of donations coming in. The fact is you're using this in attempt to get donations. Twitch is a livestreaming service that you shouldn't just see as something to gain some sort of monetary value.
      I was pointing out you seem often to bring money into the equation, when it really is not about the money when you stream.

    plus 456% a month. Ok lol. I've got no speculation on this, but does this guy stream on Mineplex at all, if he does lemme know.
    I completely agree. I have the same perspective as you do on streaming, videos, etc. Should be based off the community you're a part of, and for the fun. If you look at most of the bigger names that's what they do. Best of luck cleaning up twitch, quite the challenge. Nothing you can't handle though, great video.

    • @DatOwl
      @DatOwl  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Alcohol Arcade I don't mind stopping by your stream and asking them to stop. I never intended for them to attack you, just simply take a look at your channel to see if you potentially were breaking TOS.
      If you're not breaking TOS, then you probably shouldn't care this much because you would be right and you would have nothing you needed to prove to me.

    • @DatOwl
      @DatOwl  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Alcohol Arcade But my question is, why do you care so much if you're doing nothing wrong?
      If you're doing nothing wrong and I'm the guilty party, you don't have to worry.

  • @AndrewMcClenning
    @AndrewMcClenning 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    People who stream games should be done only as a hobby, and not as a full-time job. It's extremely lazy, sitting on your ass and playing games.Grow the F up, and find a real job. And if you are looking to be partnered with some random company to increase your income, you should have your gaming devices taken away... it should be about the gameplay and nothing else; that goes for Subscribers, too.

  • @Mumzel
    @Mumzel 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I don't understand it's not your priority to watch over twitch. There are people who work on twitch, and they will or will not ban his stream... I don't see why you should care. You could easily just flag & move on.
    And I know for a fact you don't go and watch others streams because you stream yourself, so it makes it suspicious that you only care about what people do "negative" which is a bad thing..
    Please think before posting, since Twitch has a v v v hard control over their twitchers.

      You're such a hypocrite, shouldn't you be off and ignoring Nolan? But instead you decided to tell everyone that he should just ignore it, and leave it for someone else to figure out. Dude, people like me would really want to know about this whole thing. You clearly you don't understand that the reason Nolan does this is to educate us. Maybe before you start typing away in the comment section, you should really start to realize that we just can't ignore everything. And I'm sorry if I was being rude, but you really need to think about what you type.

    • @DatOwl
      @DatOwl  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      mumzel99 Of course it's not my priority to look over Twitch. I don't work for Twitch. However, it is nice to bring light to those who are in the wrong and do these wrongs on the daily. It's not okay for smaller streamers who are constantly pushed down already. Viewbotters lead to them not getting any significant recognition.
      If you're not on the first page, you typically won't get noticed.
      Twitch is a hard place and viewbotters only make it harder for smaller streams. The fact that I gather evidence doesn't hurt anyone, only helps people realize what is going on.

    • @DatOwl
      @DatOwl  9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      mumzel99 Just as well, people watch other streams for me, and I constantly check Minecraft over during my streams to see where I stand. At the same time, I open other streams and look if someone is potentially viewbotting.
      "And I know for a fact you don't go and watch others streams because you stream yourself, so it makes it suspicious that you only care about what people do "negative" which is a bad thing.."
      This statement doesn't make sense. Why let anyone slide when they break TOS? It doesn't matter the great they do, if they're violating a rule, they're still violating a rule.
