Internet Advert revenue are essentially a commons, lots of people use streams and google adds / banners to make a living, adding more for yourself doesn't seem to detract from the world at all. But the venue just loses legitimacy and advertisers will eventually catch on to shit like this, only reason why advertisers don't get up in arms about it is because it's extremely difficult to measure the effectiveness of advertising. It also wastes bandwidth / upkeep / electricity if you care about that sort of a thing. | ||

When LOL player "ImSoPr0" first time sees a stream through the client and automatically get an account created, maybe the name "ImSoPr0" is already used on twitch though, so the game client just makes up a new name, like abc239865, and then internally links that the LOL player ImSoPr0 has that twitch account. Result would then be that people watching (or having stream on at least..) through their LOL client show up as abc34845, and these accounts are still "legit" in the sense that they actually belong to a person. But again, just guessing. If these accounts are just people watching through the client, I don't think it's really fair to compare lols "inflated" stream views with the sudden x11000 viewers here though.  Ahhhh, ok. That would make sense. I don't play League of Legends, so I have no idea. Thanks for the insight. Hahaha! Nice one, BoSs. | ||

Again, I'm only guessing around. My only information is that, if I've understood correctly, there is some ingame thing in lol that allows people to watch pro stream. Someone actually playing the game could confirm, but I guess it isn't really important, so nevermind.  Let's make fun of that chart instead. Did they get a good looking girl on the team and she promised to undress at one million viewer? | ||
