Top Game Influencer on Twitch, isn't a person its a website!

One of the top influencer's for games on Twitch isn't a streamer or a personality, its a external website.

Influencer marketing is generally getting the word out about a product or a service to a large group of consumers via "Influencers". On Twitch "Influencers" are generally streamers who are payed or sponsored in some fashion to play a video game or show case a product. Streamers who are not paid but are inspired to play games and/or use products they like on their channels are also "Influencers" in some capacity.

Top Games Twitch 2018 May
One major factor on overall influencing on Twitch for video games is the game directory. If a game is on the top slots of the overall directory, more viewership generally trends into those channels featuring said game.


In comes "Gamepedia", which is owned by Amazon, the parent company of Twitch Inc. Gamepedia is promoting Twitch streams across their vast network of crowd sourcing wiki's. Only the top Twitch streams that are of affiliate level or higher get promoted depending on the game. So lets say a Twitch affiliate streamer named "Justin" is playing and streaming Diablo. If no other Twitch affiliate or partners are streaming that game, Justin's channel will be promoted on gamepedia's diablo wiki on the bottom of the content pages.

As people search for Diablo related information on search engines, they will most likely see in the top search engine results, gamepedia related pages.  Once they visit a gamepedia content page, they will be counted as a view for the twitch channel being promoted at the bottom.

gamepedia embedding twitch streams
Here is a example of a Twitch stream being promoted on a gamepedia wiki page at the bottom.

If no one is streaming Diablo, then the current top streamer of twitch will be promoted in that spot.

All of these views from gamepedia add up and directly influence the overall placement of games on the directory.

And here is also another really interesting factor, that many don't really know about or consider. Any  streamer who gets promoted on gamepedia wiki's will be able to see the traffic coming in via the dashboard stats from external sites. If the traffic is pretty substantial why would they switch and play other games? Who is going to say no to thousands of free channel views and viewers automatically coming to your channel?

Update: 7/26/2019 --  Gamepedia has stopped promoting twitch streams as a autoplaying embed on their wiki platform.  Gamepedia is also not part of Twitch/Amazon anymore since the start of this year.

Here is the reason why from MisterWoodhouse from Gamepedia:

Free Channel Traffic / Free Views

Get free channel traffic to your Twitch stream by knowing about gamepedia's promotional content section!
free views for twitch streams
So your a small streamer on the Twitch platform? Want a way to get some possible free traffic going to your stream? Well here is one way to get some views going into your channel.

Gamepedia is now one of the biggest traffic generators for Twitch Streams

Please note: It's not going to work for all channels, you need at least 10-15 concurrent viewers + to be able to take advantage of it.

Steps
  1. Research Gamepedia and all the wiki's
  2. Figure out what wiki is popular and is promo'ing streams.
    • To know if gamepedia is promoting streams
      • Go to a game wiki
      • Then click on to a content page or a random page
      • Make sure you have adblock off, and then check the bottom for a 'Promotional Content' section, if you see that, a stream should be showing as a embed.
  3. Start playing/streaming that game and if your channel's in the top spot, Gamepedia will feature your stream on all its wiki content pages for that game.
    • During researching phase, check on Twitch to see if many people are streaming the game, less streamers the greater your chance at getting the top spot.
  4. When your done streaming, put the past achieve in rerun and let it run until the next time your broadcasting.
    Update 8/20/2018 Gamepedia now has created a rule out of no where saying any stream that is 24/7 / ReRuns which gets promoted at Gamepedia Wiki's will be banned.
Here is what traffic looks like using my channel's data during the streaming of battletech.



Even though my stream wasn't in the top spot for a majority of the time, it still managed to generate around 5,000 channel views. Every little bit of promotion, views and traffic going to your channel helps out.

If you have any comments or questions fill free to post them up in the comment section below!

**Update on this article**, Gamepedia as of around 7/22/2019 has stopped embedding Twitch Streams on their Wiki Network. They are also not part of Twitch anymore, they were sold off to Fandom / Wikia at the beginning of this year.

Gamepedia is now one of the biggest traffic generators for Twitch Streams

Gamepedia is embedding and promoting Twitch live streams on a majority of their wiki content pages.

Back in August of 2016, Amazon via Twitch Interactive acquired 'Curse, Inc' for a undisclosed amount. Gamepedia was part of Curse's network, a wiki hosting platform dedicated to games and supported by user generated content.

Twitch streams are now being promoted on the wiki network at gamepedia. Depending on the wiki, it will show a Twitch stream as promotional content at the bottom. Only the current top streamer for said game gets promoted in that section.

Here is a example from the battletech wiki on gamepedia that was featuring my stream. Goto the following URL: https://battletech.gamepedia.com/Maneuver

Make sure you have any ADBLOCK'er disabled and scroll to the bottom of the page.

Twitch Embedding - Gamepedia

Screenshot of promotional content section is available, click to enlarge.

If you are a Twitch streamer and want to know if you have received any traffic from gamepedia's embedding it should show up on the stream summery and stats section on the dashboard. Go to the "Where did my views come from?" section to see external views to your channel.





Now for the good and bad news (note this will be my opinion and perspective)

Good
  • Twitch is promoting streamers outside of the platform, 
  • Billions of additional channel views will be generated from this connection.
  • Games with very high traffic wiki's on gamepedia will be higher placed on the overall Twitch directory, leading to more floating users checking out those games. More people viewing, more perception of popularity / hype / bandwagon effects, which may lead to more game sales, increase userbase and community.
  • Ad Revenue will increase for Twitch in whole and for some partner streamers. (But may cannibalize other revenue streams from before?)

Bad
  • AdFill rates will crumble, to much inventory and not enough supply. (This can be turned around with a really super strong marketing team that entices advertisers) If a streamer is depended on advertising revenue, they are going to be taking a hit unless they situate themselves into a game that has high wiki traffic from gamepedia and can hold the top spot.
  • Viewbotting accusations will be on overdrive, which is going to lead to addition reporting posts that admins will be wasting time and energy on reviewing. This can also generate harassment to the streamer from others because they assume fraud is occurring with viewbots.
  • Check my previous post on Embedding, bottom section the downsides and links posted to reactions. I have been a very long time embedder focused channeled, its been a unique road and now others will sadly have to face some of the challenges I had to due to external promotion.

Twitter rules changes and what streamers need to know

Twitter is updating their rule and policy document and here is what streamers should know.

The update focuses on cracking down on bot related activities but will also impact anyone using automation type of tweeting.

Here is what you need to know about the rules update:
  • Do not post duplicate content to multiple twitter accounts
  • Do not post the same content more than once to a single Twitter account
  • Do not use any form of automation to perform actions such as likes or retweets across many accounts that you have authorized.

Here is the official blog post on twitter about the update changes - https://blog.twitter.com/developer/en_us/topics/tips/2018/automation-and-the-use-of-multiple-accounts.html 

If you use any sort of automation to generate tweets when your stream goes live, make sure the URLs, the titles and description content is also unique.

How to delete clips made by viewers

Guide on how to delete clips created by viewers from your channel on Twitch.tv

One of the new features on twitch.tv allows viewers to create clips from your broadcast. If you wish to delete the clips created from your channels content, here is how to do just that!

Step 1
Login to your Twitch Account and go to your Stream Manager, then click on the 'Content' section to expand, then you will find 'Clips', click on that.

Here it will show you all the clips created by yourself and viewers from your channel.


Step 2
Click on Clips of My Channel




Step 3
Select the clip you wish to delete by clicking on it. You can narrow down by game via the game search box which is located under the 'clips of my channel' section.

Once you click on the clip you want to delete a pop up will happen with the clip video player and some button options.



(4) Menu Buttons are available.


1. Moderation
  • Timeout User (24 hr)
  • Ban User
  • Delete All Clips from Video


2. Delete


3. Share
4. Watch Clip on page


TIP
Clips currently don't seem to offer any sort of monetization.What I have seen streamers do in order to monetization clips is to create compilations by combining user created clips and then uploading that to the channel. Since you don't want to duplicate content, it maybe best to remove all clips from that stream session. You can use the 'Delete All Clips' option from step 3 to do just that for certain stream broadcasts.

The case of 2 "curious" partner streamers and some members of the community

When two partner "World of Warships" Twitch streamers enter your channel.

This is going to be a opinion / reflection post on something that has recently occurred on my Twitch.tv Channel.  Here is the chat log and under the logs I will write my opinion and reflect on whats being said.

[23:04:04] <~%Daopa> all a big group
[23:04:06] <ROY4LPAIN> I'm single
[23:04:10] <ROY4LPAIN> ;)
[23:04:11] <ZakuuI> must have to do with view botting you piece of shit
[23:04:14] <~%Daopa> and dont like it that i have views
[23:04:15] <generaldort> ready to mingle
[23:04:18] <~%Daopa> and your wondering whats up
[23:04:23] <~%Daopa> so u came to chit chat?
[23:04:27] <Phelin3> im with zakuul hes my shooger daddy
[23:04:28] <~%Daopa> I guess thats it
[23:04:36] <ROY4LPAIN> Whats goin on
[23:04:38] <~%Daopa> I dont hide anything
[23:04:42] <~%Daopa> Im a embedder

When people ask, I disclose that my stream is embedded, I'm transparent about it. Its on my info section, on this blog etc

[23:04:46] <generaldort> how come i watched u for an hour and nobody talked til we did lol
[23:04:46] <~%Daopa> I run content sites
[23:04:51] <ROY4LPAIN> whats that dad
[23:04:53] <~%Daopa> and I put the stream on the side bar
[23:05:06] <~%Daopa> check my info section for 2 different websites
[23:05:09] <~%Daopa> with examples
[23:05:10] <ZakuuI> iirc google banned auto-play.
[23:05:13] <~%Daopa> thats what i do
[23:05:28] <~%Daopa> Now if you dont believe it
[23:05:34] <~%Daopa> i have nothing more to say.. it is what it is
[23:05:48] <Phelin3> so technically these ppl arent watching you
[23:06:00] <~%Daopa> no
[23:06:04] <~%Daopa> thats not the case at all
[23:06:14] <~%Daopa> they are prob watching and reading .. or seeing on twitter
[23:06:15] <Poster_Nut_Bag> One downside of having a massive amount of embed viewership is being accused of viewbotting. Many people will mistakenly assume you are viewer botting because of the imbalanced of the chat to view number ratio. Lucky for you these type of people are very simple to ignore.
[23:06:20] <~%Daopa> I embed on twitter too
[23:06:42] <~%Daopa> there is a guide on how to do that too on the twitch blog i made
[23:06:45] <~%Daopa> ushould use it
[23:06:47] <~%Daopa> if ur a streamer
[23:06:53] <~%Daopa> very handle and good
[23:07:28] <ZakuuI> "very useful" Well it also proves you're a piece of shit that would stoop to such low levels instead of working hard and building a community. Really makes me think.
[23:07:44] <ROY4LPAIN> Who no premium consumables
[23:07:47] <generaldort> dortROASTED
[23:08:55] <Phelin3> so there are always exactly 250 people on your "contest website"?
[23:09:04] <Phelin3> at all times?
[23:09:08] <Phelin3> no more no less?
[23:09:25] <generaldort> thats the best streamer retainability ive ever seen
[23:09:49] <~%Daopa> u are free to run ur stream how u see fit
[23:09:58] <~%Daopa> this is not to your liking just leave guys
[23:10:00] <generaldort> yo 4 emotes
[23:10:02] <~%Daopa> its a waste of time here
[23:10:05] <ZakuuI> Am I free to hijack websites and put hidden streams in the background too?
[23:10:09] <generaldort> whats that like 10 subs?
[23:10:27] <Phelin3> it may not be viewbotting but your still a fucking scumbag
[23:10:38] <~%Daopa> Hey
[23:10:47] <~%Daopa> theres nothing wrong what embeding

with* typo, I made alot of typo's I was kinda busy playing the game.

[23:10:54] <~%Daopa> Every streamer has embeds somewhere
[23:10:56] <~%Daopa> ruunning
[23:11:00] <generaldort> nope
[23:11:01] <~%Daopa> lets not be stupid now
[23:11:03] <~%Daopa> yes
[23:11:09] <ROY4LPAIN> real talk, why don't you have premium consumables
[23:11:09] <~%Daopa> everyone does over time
[23:11:10] <bfk_fer1yfe> Not actual streamers
[23:11:11] <generaldort> and i still get 270 viewers lol

This guy reeks of competition mentality, needs to compare, make fun of others.

[23:11:16] <~%Daopa> people get embedded all over
[23:11:20] <Poster_Nut_Bag> @Phelin3 @ZakuuI wtf is wrong with you people
[23:11:25] <bfk_fer1yfe> Why is there no chat?
[23:11:27] <generaldort> GOOD people get embedded all over
[23:11:37] <generaldort> not people who dont talk...AT ALL
[23:11:51] <bfk_fer1yfe> nearly 300 people with no chat?
[23:11:56] <generaldort> ^
[23:12:04] <ROY4LPAIN> Real talk, why no premium consumables?
[23:12:38] <~%Daopa> This is not a gimmick stream
[23:12:43] <~%Daopa> nor a personality stream
[23:12:48] <~%Daopa> its chill and mininal
[23:12:53] <bfk_fer1yfe> It sure is not a WOWS stream
[23:12:57] <~%Daopa> i run my thing different from what u see on twitch
[23:12:58] <ROY4LPAIN> BUT NO PREMIUM CONSUMABLES
[23:13:00] <Poster_Nut_Bag> its a titty stream obviously
[23:13:01] <~%Daopa> again
[23:13:05] <bfk_fer1yfe> the standard of play is junk
[23:13:08] <~%Daopa> IF this is not your likeing move along
[23:13:16] <~%Daopa> no one is holding ur hand here to watch
[23:13:22] <bfk_fer1yfe> The reports will begin to flow

The re-occuring we are going to report you threat.

[23:13:24] <ROY4LPAIN> My question
[23:13:24] <ZakuuI> Do you know who @generaldort is? He's one of the most ACTIVE World of Warships streamer in the community. He's been streaming for years, creating a community with HARD WORK and yet somehow he is nowhere close to your view count. You - a nobody that no one knows who is. Please, can you fucking go 200MPH on the highway for a while and make a sharp right?

Here is a confirmation they at least know each other, prob in the same circle of friends.

They want to say I dont work hard? Kappa

I have been a partner streamer since Justin tv, I was most likely one of the original pack of streamers to get into the partnership way way back then.  I have been streaming almost every single day, 8 hours+ for many years. What works for my channel is vast different from what you normally see on Twitch. I'm not a personality streamer, I do not engage in gimmicks or overlays, giveaways etc. I aim to be as minimalist as possible and interaction mainly via chat.  Its a super chill stream with supplemental support from my gaming related blogs that advertise my channel on. This also creates many synergies back to guides and blogs.

Over the years people would ask me, How do you do X or how do you do Y.

Instead of sending people to other websites that offer guides on how to do X or Y, I built up many blogs that answer these questions. I enjoy making game related fansites and thru out my many years of content creating this all adds up. All of this is hard work, done over many years to which these other people have no clue on...

[23:13:32] <ROY4LPAIN> no consumables?!!?@@@1!~!
[23:13:37] <ROY4LPAIN> oops

[23:17:17] <generaldort> sorry @Daopa ur done

hmmm?

[23:18:31] <Femennenly> Daopa, I’m a massive fan but first time chatter. I felt confident enough to say something now that there are other people chatting

Here comes Partner Twitch streamer #2, a "massive fan"

[23:18:41] <bfk_fer1yfe> oh
[23:18:42] <Femennenly> I was curious on something tho
[23:18:43] <bfk_fer1yfe> hai
[23:18:43] <ROY4LPAIN> :D
[23:18:49] <bfk_fer1yfe> femeWave
[23:18:57] <Femennenly> May I ask a question please :)?
[23:19:10] <bfk_fer1yfe> femePoint
[23:19:51] <Femennenly> Why twitch? You say you’re not one for interaction and it’s just about game play

Why Twitch? Twitch is the #1 live streaming platform for gamers.  They seem to want to push the narrative that I do not interact, which is not the case, I interact with everyone via chat.  I do at rare times mic up and chit chat also but I try to stick with text chat (some reasons why, for non english speaking viewers they can translate what I say from text chat and I have some viewers who I know are deaf. I do not have the ability to captioning and transcription in a live stream format.)

[23:19:59] <Femennenly> Why not use YouTube?
[23:20:40] <Femennenly> The add revenue from having all those videos embedded everywhere would be much more than this
[23:20:53] <generaldort> dont bother he interacts about as much as @bfk_fer1yfe 's dad. Dude went out for cigarettes 30 years ago and hasnt been back
[23:21:05] <Femennenly> Considering that no one is subbing to you
[23:21:21] <Femennenly> No one is chatting with you
[23:21:29] <~%Daopa> I offered disclosure
[23:21:37] <ROY4LPAIN> Thats not funny, my dad left to get milk for breakfast and I haven't seen him in 7 years :(
[23:21:39] <Femennenly> What’s the point of being live, if you’re not planning on interactig
[23:21:40] <~%Daopa> U guys know whats up
[23:21:46] <Femennenly> You know what’s fun Daopa
[23:21:48] <~%Daopa> its fine u dont like it
[23:21:53] <Femennenly> Not sure if you use the Partner discord
[23:21:55] <~%Daopa> but its not against any reals

rules* typo here

[23:22:03] <ROY4LPAIN> whats reals
[23:22:03] <Femennenly> But we actually were chatting about this the other day in there
[23:22:09] <~%Daopa> I promo my channel different the what u do
[23:22:12] <Femennenly> And it’s actually against ToS

This is interesting, they want to say embedding a stream on a website is against the ToS. If this was the case, Twitch wouldn't offer the embedding option which you can find under all streamers in the share button section.

[23:22:15] <ZakuuI> I offer the truth, you view bot and you know it. Have fun getting cucked.
[23:22:17] <generaldort> ^
[23:22:17] <~%Daopa> no its not at all
[23:22:22] <~%Daopa> everyone gets embeds
[23:22:29] <Femennenly> Then why did twitch staff confirm it :)

I will assume this person is making this up; if not this Twitch Staff is not getting the correct facts of the matter and this streamer is creating a false narrative against my channel.

Update: After checking Twitch Partner Discord, I found the following which furthers my point this person is possibly making things up and attempting to use scare / intimidation tactic.



[23:22:30] <~%Daopa> u can promo your stream on your website
[23:22:37] <Femennenly> Iyes
[23:22:40] <~%Daopa> whatever
[23:22:40] <Femennenly> Your website
[23:22:48] <ZakuuI> link to this website please?
[23:22:49] <Femennenly> That no one has posted on for ages
[23:22:53] <Femennenly> Or commented on
[23:23:00] <Femennenly> I’m just curious more than anything

So now they want to know more details of my website(s) because they are curious. Kappa

[23:23:08] <~%Daopa> Again
[23:23:11] <Femennenly> What’s the point of it? You’re not building a following

This person wants to believe this as fact when they don't have any idea. Yes I have a following and its not in "World Of Warships" sphere of things.

[23:23:14] <~%Daopa> you are free to do whatever u like
[23:23:16] <~%Daopa> on your channel
[23:23:22] <~%Daopa> whatever gimmicks
[23:23:23] <ZakuuI> Also what's this 14.7m views website? I am curious, for something so popular it must be great!
[23:23:24] <~%Daopa> and engagement
[23:23:27] <Femennenly> Your social media accs have very little activity
[23:23:28] <Phelin3> is that all you can say?
[23:23:37] <Femennenly> I agree
[23:23:40] <~%Daopa> how ever u like to promo on social media or whatever
[23:23:40] <Femennenly> You do you
[23:23:46] <~%Daopa> im different so u wanna target me
[23:23:47] <Femennenly> But I’m curious on your motivation
[23:23:52] <Femennenly> That’s all
[23:24:00] <~%Daopa> If i wanna watch a stream
[23:24:00] <Femennenly> I stream for community

When people say they are streaming for community and then enter other people channels who are streaming the game they primary on and do what they do.. this is not community building, its tearing down others or trying to intimidate others.

[23:24:05] <~%Daopa> I dont want gimmocks
[23:24:07] <Femennenly> You’re obviously not doing that
[23:24:09] <~%Daopa> I dont want cams
[23:24:14] <~%Daopa> I dont want mic up alot
[23:24:15] <Femennenly> You don’t need them
[23:24:16] <generaldort> i stream so i dont have to pop my p***y up at the club
[23:24:17] <~%Daopa> I do streaming
[23:24:20] <ZakuuI> are you 10 then?
[23:24:22] <~%Daopa> the way i wanna chant
[23:24:24] <Phelin3> NO ONES ASKING you to cam
[23:24:24] <Femennenly> Again I just want to know why
[23:24:25] <~%Daopa> watch
[23:24:31] <~%Daopa> THis is a chill stream
[23:24:36] <~%Daopa> I do Chat Interaction
[23:24:39] <~%Daopa> its simple
[23:24:45] <Femennenly> Chat interaction...
[23:24:46] <ZakuuI> a 10 year old that found a website to view bot and become like *ahem* PEWDIEPIE? But you're so scared of showing your fucked up face?
[23:24:49] <~%Daopa> I offer guides and do gaming content
[23:24:50] <Femennenly> No one ever chats here
[23:24:57] <~%Daopa> and this is suppilemental to that
[23:24:57] <generaldort> ever
[23:24:58] <Femennenly> We’re only here cause it’s confusing to us

Sure you are ....

[23:25:00] <~%Daopa> and that to this
[23:25:01] <Femennenly> Daopa
[23:25:04] <bfk_fer1yfe> stop zakul
[23:25:07] <bfk_fer1yfe> let him talk
[23:25:07] <Femennenly> I looked at your media
[23:25:08] <ZakuuI> lul
[23:25:11] <Femennenly> Content pages etc
[23:25:15] <Phelin3> no its an illegal stream embedded on some BS site no one ever visits to cover up your viewbots
[23:25:15] <Femennenly> No one watches it

This person has a wizards ball of some sorts or telepathy. And knows where all the content pages are and who watches what...

[23:25:35] <~%Daopa> You have no idea of what website, webpage
[23:25:42] <ZakuuI> link pl0x
[23:25:45] <~%Daopa> what traffic levels are
[23:25:48] <generaldort> no idea?
[23:25:49] <~%Daopa> or anything
[23:25:52] <~%Daopa> you dont know
[23:25:58] <~%Daopa> all you can so is speculate
[23:26:06] <Femennenly> I just want to know what you’re gaining from this :) you’re not building community, you’re not getting subs, yours not making money(besides farmed ad revenue)
[23:26:08] <~%Daopa> I have been up front with u guys
[23:26:18] <Femennenly> You haven’t answered my question
[23:26:20] <Femennenly> :/
[23:26:27] <Femennenly> What are you getting from this
[23:26:33] <Femennenly> Nothing that twitch is know for
[23:26:37] <Femennenly> So why not do YT etc
[23:26:38] <~%Daopa> why can I have a stream and chat with people?
[23:26:47] <Femennenly> That’s what I’m confused about
[23:26:56] <Femennenly> I’ve lurked enough to know no one talks here
[23:27:08] <~%Daopa> My friends come here
[23:27:12] <Femennenly> It’s literally you playing T2 or 10 DDs
[23:27:16] <~%Daopa> Other viewers come here
[23:27:24] <Femennenly> Lesigh
[23:27:27] <generaldort> i watched u for onver an hour, nobody said a word
[23:27:27] <~%Daopa> its not crazy but it is what it is
[23:27:28] <Femennenly> You don’t understand
[23:27:39] <Femennenly> 300 viewers no one chats
[23:27:42] <ZakuuI> you have 30k friends that view your stream a day?
[23:27:43] <~%Daopa> Sometimes its like that
[23:27:50] <Femennenly> That’s ad farming if I haven’t seen it before
[23:28:01] <Femennenly> You have nothing to be proud of here
[23:28:06] <Femennenly> The good streamers

Very clear this person doesn't like the content of the stream and my stream style.

[23:28:10] <Femennenly> You are no close to them
[23:28:16] <Femennenly> Despite your inflated numbeers
[23:28:23] <~%Daopa> Byy all means
[23:28:28] <~%Daopa> support the streamers you like
[23:28:33] <~%Daopa> and ignore the ones u dont like
[23:28:33] <Femennenly> You can deny it all you want
[23:28:37] <generaldort> Daopa i think maybe you shouldnt stream this game anymore. Now that we are here the whole community will know

Here you see the crux of the issue, these people feel threatened in some way that I'm taking something from them (and or others) due to having more viewers. If your a streamer and your channel's fate rests upon placement in the Twitch directory, thats pretty grim.

[23:28:56] <~%Daopa> Doing threats as a partner against another partner is a big no no
[23:28:57] <Femennenly> But you’re the one who will lay there at night and be like I’ve wasted my time building a false community

Now I feel bad for this person, this statement here is a possible sign of anxiety / depression.

[23:29:05] <Femennenly> I haven’t threatened anything
[23:29:12] <generaldort> neither have i
[23:29:27] <Femennenly> All I have told you is it’s against ToS

Embedding a Twitch stream to a website is not against ToS. Viewbotting / Fake viewers is against ToS.

[23:29:29] <Femennenly> Which it is
[23:29:34] <generaldort> ur going to be reported to twitch by alot of people. call it a threat all you want but its a fact at this point.
[23:29:45] <~%Daopa> Do whatever you like
[23:29:45] <Femennenly> And we are within our rights to report you for doing so
[23:29:56] <bfk_fer1yfe> YOu will be reported by over 50 people EVERYDAY you stream this game
[23:29:56] <~%Daopa> Next time when you report, just press the report button

General Tip, if you are going to report a channel for some sort of violation that you believe is occurring, just report it - offer as much detail as you can that supports your case. Do not go into the chats channel and harass / make implied threats.

[23:30:00] <Femennenly> Will do :)
[23:30:05] <~%Daopa> and dont come in with your people and harass the guy
[23:30:09] <generaldort> good luck Daopa
[23:30:18] <ZakuuI> hope you get bannedferlyfe
[23:30:25] <~%Daopa> Have a nice day, support the streamers you enjoy
[23:30:25] <generaldort> dont viewbot and you wont have a preoblem
[23:30:35] <~%Daopa> you guys seem well
[23:30:46] <~%Daopa> I dont viewbot
[23:30:56] <~%Daopa> Im done for the night anyways :)
[23:31:01] <ROY4LPAIN> gud
[23:31:02] <generaldort> bye felicia
[23:31:03] <~%Daopa> Take it ez people
[23:31:10] <generaldort> ur only viewers are out
[23:31:22] <ZakuuI> please don't stop breathing in your sleep
[23:31:26] <ZakuuI> that'd be a real shame

Created a highlight that captures the chat for documentation purposes.


In ending let me say, if you are a Twitch Partner, Twitch Affiliate never do what these people have done in my channel. Do not brigade your circle of friends into another persons channel in attempts to intimiate / harass them.
