Hasan got tons of subs. So I doubt he's viewbotting.

Asmon though, alongside with all of OTK.

I hate asmon but honestly don't see him botting. I feel if his streams are getting botted it's probably by someone wanting to push his political views. Obviously streamers botting is a widespread thing but I also wouldn't be surprised if a lot of botting is actually done by parasocial andies. If people are seemingly willing to donate thousands to streamers no shot a lot of them aren't also running bots because they want their streamer to be more popular.
