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.

what are those screenshots of though? "viewer list"? most people watching are not logged in. maybe it's identifying people who don't log in.

i feel like the image is implying that Riot created a lot of twitch.tv accounts and logs them all in and has them watch LoL streams but that is unnecessary to boost viewer counts. so im not sure what im looking at there


Couldn't they just be viewers logged in through the LoL client? I feel that is far more likely that Riot juicing the numbers. That sounds like a terrible plan that would ruin their relationship with twitch and anyone selling ads during their events. It just sounds way to stupid for them to have all the "fake users" logged into with names like A7584021.

Apparently, these viewers are real Justin/Twitch accounts. I have no idea why a game client would need to log into a remote Twitch.tv account in order to view a stream. Or why a viewer who isn't logged in would have to be listed as a random Twitch account. Then again, I know next to nothing about all that computer science stuff. Maybe somebody else can elaborate.

I'm just guessing here, but maybe the game client want some features like follow, history, upload your own VODs and so on, that is easiest for them to do through creating a twitch account that can be accessed through the game client. 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.

I'm surprised so many people are saying there's nothing wrong with this- it totally devalues advertising on streams if stream viewing numbers become meaningless.

Its like selling a washing machine (opening up stream) when you just want to buy that magazine abo (view the website). Better read the fine print (source code). :/
What a shady business. In real life, they would need to get in front of a court...

I don't play lol either. 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?
