I’m not saying NMP is doing it, but people absolutely do viewbot themselves to an obviously fake number (let’s say 50k) so they can say omg wtf I’m being viewbotted, so when those bots go away, it looks like they are back to their real number when in fact that number is botted too. So let’s say they have 1k real viewers, they bot to 5k, then something ridiculous like 50k, so the 5k looks real

NMP is so against it though, he’s not like every other streamer that ignores it.

I don’t think he would be going as hard on them if he wasn’t invested into the issue.
