@JohtanSum @Dexerto People that want the actual undamaged cards inside would have no problem with this. Only the people that see value in the boxed items have a problem with it.

@PokemonBlue_ @Dexerto No. We dont. We want to open them to see, collect, and play with the cards. People tha collect the boxes to resale are scalpers.

@scump @ATT Even just one training session might have made all the difference here, the matches were close enough were the team could have been utilized to turn the tide.

@scump @ATT Brotha show up for your team and give them a day of training and workshopping what they can/should do during COD week. Lily/Leslie/Squeex just flailed through a COD session

@Awk20000 I mean xQc asked a fair question if he was lacking the intel, and the game dev offered a fair answer. All in all really good discourse by all parties.

@PirateSoftware @djclancy999 Have they said they would "cap viewership" because that does not seem like a viable solution to anything. All I have seen is that they plan to cap CCV rates on ad revenue when botting is confirmed. They shouldn't touch public numbers, just adjust on the backend.

@BobertBastible @PirateSoftware Or in the very least have tiered "grades" of accounts to sell advertising against. And stop basing everything important on Total viewership regardless of source or authenticity. If anything they should sort directories by lowest viewers, spread out that viewing audience

@KingSavage2o17 @PirateSoftware Yep. There are times when streamers get botted maliciously. But it is not EVERY time for EVERY moment of a stream. So by using historical data they can see who is doing it for self-gain as opposed to temporary malicious intent.

@BUDDGAF @PirateSoftware Problem is that's basically every page on the Internet. Advertisers LOVE their javascript initiated dynamic asynchronous 1x1 iframe embeds

@FablesFolly @PirateSoftware Also, make shorts of your videos that youtube can force upon unsuspecting viewers, with catchy title/thumb, and keep them short so they accidentally watch the entire thing without clicking away. Youtube will think they LOVE your content and begin serving the full videos as well.

@PirateSoftware @kettanaito YES. Authenticated users would be a key tier of viewership numbers to log historical data on. Classifying viewer accounts both individually and in regards to the stream they are viewing.

@PirateSoftware Just as we can often identify Youtube botting metrics by comparing Views to Likes to Comments, Twitch should be able to do the same and more given they have more areas of interactivity to base their data on. At scale metrics like these should prove super useful.

@PirateSoftware IDK how they plan to do it, but I know how I would begin. I would monitor for non-raid viewer spikes within a stream as well as viewership growth over the course of a career. I would also begin logging level-tiers of viewer interactivity as a hidden metric to compare against.

@CryMoreWeirdo69 @TwitchSupport 100 million %. The fact that they don't inversely list by view-count in the directory, to spread out the love, shows that they PREFER to re-enforce larger streamers rather than support the long tail of smaller streamers, some of which might be diamonds waiting to be discovered
