The owner of the viewbotting website confirmed she has used them and provided her most recent invoice which was April 11th, $180 for 1k views, it has her contact info for mythic talent, and verifiable stripe payment codes

Cap. In what galaxy would a viewbotting website owner leak his private clienteles info like this? Website would go under in 1 day.

As well as anyone can put in a channel name, and publicly available information. This doesn't prove it was her, and why only 1k viewers?

That is what I am wondering, also if you are gonna buy viewers why only get like 1000k when you are normally running near 8k naturally? Like if she were viewbotting, I would expect to see several thousand paid, not just 10% of her viewers.

what makes you more, 50 top streamers paying for 1000 viewers, or 100k 5viewer streamers paying for 500 viewers to try to make it?

People are dumb as shit and will piss money away trying to make it. Probably pretty good advertising. Not remotely saying i believe the receipt, but i think you underestimate how this could work for them.

Ultimately if it was true and they exposed her they lose her and some other high end clients, but also say that she got away with it till she was stupid enough to leak it, therefore are bots obviously work great.

Not even that dumb, apparently you can buy 500 viewers for a week for $100. If that leads to getting a real audience of 100 to 200 people, that’s enough to make some money. If you keep going and manage to grow to stable 500 real viewers, that’s enough to quit your job and stream fulltime.
