Viewbotting uses automated bots to inflate live viewer counts, often to manipulate platform discovery and growth opportunities for streamers.
“Today, we're introducing a new enforcement type that we plan to roll out over the next few weeks,” Clancy shared in a post on X. “For channels identified as persistently viewbotting, we will apply a cap to the streamer's CCV [concurrent views] for a fixed period of time, on all of the Twitch surfaces.” Clancy added that the cap would be based on “historical data regarding that creator's non-viewbotted traffic” and that the limits will increase in duration with repeated violations.
