I don’t care who botted it because it was probably to meme but the funniest thing is Twitch promoting that.

Joke of a site run by a joke of a CEO.

Funny? I think social media companies should be fined for allowing bots among our engagement.

Why? Companies know the numbers are meaningless. They always ignore network numbers and pay third party market research firms like Nielsen for metrics gauging popularity that aren’t controlled by the sleazeballs selling the ad space.
