Twitch CEO Dan Clancy has announced a new system to punish streamers who use viewbots to fake their viewer numbers. The platform said it has been working on this problem for a long time because many creators use outside services to make their streams look more popular than they really are. Twitch says this hurts both the company and honest streamers who grow their channels naturally without using fake viewers to increase their numbers.The new punishment system will start rolling out in May. According to Dan Clancy, streamers who are caught repeatedly using viewbots will have limits placed on their concurrent viewership numbers, also called CCV. This means Twitch will stop fake inflated numbers from appearing across the platform. The company explained that the cap will be based on the streamer’s normal real traffic and will affect all Twitch surfaces where viewer counts are shown to users.s trying to make the platform fairer for everyone. Do you think that people are smarter that what technology can do on the platform ?
