Kick N3on In December 2023, during a live stream, N3on would be looking at and reading his chat. Out of nowhere, hundreds of bot accounts entered his stream and started to display the same comments and links. N3on reacted in shock and spoke out of confusion on how his chat was moving at a fast speed. After the incident, fans and viewers started accusing him of view-botting, as well as
implementing bots into his chat. On September 18, 2024, a clip from a live stream surfaced of a Kick staff member confirming that N3on's average view count was not accurate. The staff member also revealed that at one point, N3on would average about 36,000 viewers, and then would average about 90,000 viewers in a short amount of time. N3on responded to the staff member by denying the accusations and insulting his critics for allegedly downplaying his success. In the month of October 2024, N3on reached more than 21 million hours watched, surpassing streamers like
HasanAbi and
Adin Ross combined. This rapid rise led people to question whether the hours watched were real or was the result of N3on implementing bots into his view count.
Twitch Reggie and Rakai On April 9, 2025, Twitch and Kick streamer,
xQc, accused
Kai Cenat's friends, Reggie and Rakai, for view-botting their Twitch streams after investigating both of their streaming stats. xQc first looked at Reggie's stats, and pointed out that he started with 800 viewers one stream, and over the course of 2 days, Reggie would reach more than 60,000 viewers alone in another stream. He also pointed out the stats of Rakai and accused him of view-botting and mentioned that his chat moved very slow despite having more than 20,000 viewers watching. Later on in the stream, while playing a game with another streamer, xQc would be questioned on what the reason was for accusing Rakai and Reggie for view-botting, xQc then answered saying “I don’t give a f*ck, they’re all view-botters, I don’t care. From a 1K Andy to 20k overnight, like bro, I’ve been here before, I’m not stupid, they’re botted out the wazoo. I’d be open to the conversation that it is their agency doing it.” On April 10, Cenat responded to xQc saying that Reggie does not often spend a lot time on Twitch other than live streaming himself. Cenat also mentioned that if he were to ask Reggie who xQc was, Reggie would not know who someone like xQc is. xQc responded back to Cenat and his viewers saying to not be mad at him, but to instead "look at the facts."
QueenGloriaRP While live streaming on March 18, 2025, Twitch and Kick streamer QueenGloriaRp leaked a
window of a view-botting program after accidentally opening it up. The window showed options to increase the number of bots and the duration. For a few seconds, Gloria did not seem to notice the window until she finally realized what she had done. She then went offline for a few minutes and claimed to her live audience that she had to get off for a bit because something was wrong with her
OBS. Clips and videos of the incident went viral. Before putting her
Twitter account on private, she denied ever using viewbots on her streams, saying that it was someone else implementing them without her knowing. She then claimed that she was simply searching the program on
Google and it suddenly showed up on her stream by mistake. As a result, Twitch banned her for violating their terms of service and community guidelines. == See also ==
