Streaming is one of the most uprising professions in the community facilitating the engagement of wider masses on a platform. Trainwreckstv, who is a popular streamer on Twitch and is also seen streaming on the new platform Kick, dropped bold claims about the viewership strength of big streamers.

Recently, the streamer informed the community about the new platform to which he would be contributing his expertise. He further announced that the platform will have a “95% creator- 5% company”split revenue. By drawing criticism around Twitch, he made it very clear that the new platform and his efforts would be directed at “making the live streaming world better.”

After Twitch disallowed gambling streams, it affected the streamer as he is known to avidly do gambling streams. Being a major personality with a high following in the streaming community, he gave his thoughts on the estimated presence of “view-botting” among the top 90 out of 100 streamers.

Trainwreckstv during a stream raised the topic of view-botting with his viewers. He said, “I’m under the impression…confidently…that, in the top 100, at least 90 out of 100 are not only blatantly view-botting, but we’re talking massively view-botting. Cause you can’t tell at that point, right?”

Even though it comes as a straightforward claim from his side, he gave an explanation that he could be wrong as well. “Like it, all makes sense, like I said this could be some skitzo delusional s*** who knows? Maybe I’m copping I don’t know, right? If I was, would I know? Probably not.”

However, he continued to cite the basis of his “view-botting” notion. He said, “For the longest time, I sat there thinking, ‘Why are these streamers with my viewership average or higher than me by 20-30 thousand, why are they sitting there so worried about me? Why am I hearing all these things behind the scenes, you know?”
