countless media companies get caught fudging viewer/subscriber/reader numbers .

Twitch.tv is not doing that. They are doing something much more subtle which will never get caught. they are just turning a semi-blind eye to viewboting which creates fake viewers.
i don't trust twitch.tv's #s because they're just another media empire and its in their best interest to have #s as big as possible.
its hilarious when Winter claims he has more viewers watching him play the WoL campaign than a veteran Incontrol with a massive history in Brood War and SC2 playing the game.
twitch.tv is letting viewbotting slide because it makes their #s look bigger than they really are.
any viewer #s coming out of twitch.tv can not be trusted...period..end of story.
Imagine one day we discover that twitch is double dipping and is actually behind botting services as well!!
