Streamer viewership peaks at around 3 hours. If a streamer is hitting their highest views in the first 30 minutes…….they are just built different I guess. :)

We’ve been saying it for years but they call us schizo unfortunately. The new argument is that this new pattern of behavior that viewers have is ONLY true for newer streamers and DOES NOT apply for older ones. No explanation for why that the case though

it doesn't even take today's generation of streamer 30 minutes to hit peak viewership, it takes them less, and they hold exactly what they pull in the starting minutes across all sections/games, with camera, without camera, it doesn't matter, that is what makes it the most obvious. No new generation streamer truly understand viewership. They think because they get 300,000 likes on instagram that it makes sense to bot to 10K-30K live viewers, or because their tiktok is at millions of views or followers that the live viewership follows it 1:1. It never does, and it never will. Almost all viewbotters don't understand live viewership vs views, or vs likes. The worst part is, twitch doesn't understand it either. That's why the most blatant viewbotters of twitch are never effected by these "anti-viewbotting" programs and by not being effected it actually gives them even more credibility.

Folks like us who have been around for over a decade can sniff out this bullshit so quickly and it blows my mind that it’s been left undeterred for as long as it has

Peaking 3 hours is old, the new streaming culture of parasocials like to click join as soon as notifications drop

Yea according to my stats my viewers peak at about 1.5 hours into stream but I only do stream for 3-4 hours so my drop off happens around towards the end. I don't think I have ever had peak at start or even 30 minutes unless on front page of twitch

Exceptionalism is dead and the least impressive among us get selected for greatness. Look at the streamers, besides a few chads like Jaryd here, it's all chinless dorks and feminine attention whores who viewbot and cheat. Actually sick of it.

This is an oldhead take. I feel like you are vastly underestimating how much these newgen streamers are popping off in casual spaces that didn't watch streams before. Even my middle aged/elderly family members will tell me about "How funny that Caseoh guy is" or talk about Asmongolds god awful takes. Its just the new version of live television. With that being said they are all still viewbotting 100% someone hook me up pls.

Typically I'll see 5 to 6 CCV on Rumble within the first 10 minutes, hitting around 15 to 20 by the end of the hour, then it's either up or down, typically up, if I'm lucky 25, if I'm extra lucky 30+ but extra lucky is just that, rare. Ofc there's days where there's atypical patterns, lower viewership largely on those days, or the rate of peaks are quite different timings.

This is helpful to me, I usual only stream about 2 hours at a time and I am curious if I'm holding myself back by not going longer.

There are some who experience a spike(not botting) until they decide what game they will play. But even that usually dies out before becoming a consistent number. All posting stats like this does though, is tell these view botting bitches when to turn on their bots, in order to try to hide it better.

Not gonna lie if your peak hits before the coffee kicks in, either you’re him or the bots got better punctuality than my whole life
