xQc It raises questions about IShowSpeed’s massive live streaming numbers
The controversy surrounding the stream did not stop there. His colleague Felix “xQc” Lengyel later discussed the stream after it reportedly surpassed 1.1 million concurrent viewers on YouTube. The number immediately attracted attention across the streaming community due to how unusually high it was.Speaking during the stream, xQc suggested that outside bot activity may have inflated the numbers, though he stopped short of directly accusing IShowSpeed.“I think it’s pretty obvious, but there’s just a layer of bots today. But that doesn’t mean he’s manipulating, like, you know what I mean? Someone might be doing it to him. You know what I mean? I’m not accusing him. Chat, 1.1 million is crazy! That’s like 30 times the normal amount.”As of now, IShowSpeed has not publicly responded to viewbott’s speculation.
