Let's find out. My name is Denis. I produce a Twitch channel. And besides that, I also streamed for 5 years and know Today we'll look at all types of promotions and start with the basics. Twitch viewer boosting . I'll let you in on a little secret. 90% of Twitch is online. Chances are, the person you're watching, even if he's a media giant, he's still involved in this dirty business. Maybe not him, but his manager, but in any case it is impossible to prove it, but I am sure of it . You may ask: "Why are they doing this and for what purpose?" Of course, if you're a media giant, but spinning off 10-20% of online revenue is always nice, 10-20% of online revenue is always nice, because it gives you 10% extra artificial hype. That is, people who see that there are not 15,000, roughly speaking, but 20 on the broadcast, they will, of course , most likely click on it. And this works with any online. That is, the more online you are, the more interesting your stream appears from the outside. And this is completely normal. This is how the human bridge is constructed. Let's run through the prices. How much does it cost to get viewers on T in 2025? It's all very simple. I will name the real prices. Look, 100 viewers per hour costs 20 rubles, 1,000 viewers per hour costs 200 rubles. And the price will increase proportionally depending on how much online you want for yourself. on stream. But you ask, I recently went to a website and looked at how much it costs to get more higher. I'll answer you, it's very simple. People who engage in boosting the number of viewers on certain websites always charge five times the market rate. This has already been proven. That is, people who are professionally involved in cheating there, they either have their own base of some bots that watch their broadcasts, or they sell their services on the same FunPay, where there are a lot of such people, and their services there cost their real market price. That is, yes, 100 spectators cost 20 rubles, and 1,000 spectators also cost 200 rubles. And the price will rise proportionally to this . But advertisers and viewers who are genuine, they are clearly not stupid and will understand that you are being rigged, at the very least because your chat is down and your online traffic is going through the roof. And here, of course, the second type of cheating emerges: chatbots and chat cheating. Boosting chat bots and chat on broadcasts. This type of cheating is no longer used by streamers, but by real scammers. And that's why, to make your chat look like the real thing and really fly, you need a so- looked at the layout of the kagaya. So, a so -called driver can create and simulate a chat such that it would seem like you have 100 or thousands of people online. Well, of course, Vadil won't do 1,000, we need to name another driver. And such people are already actually called scammers. That is, you will not buy some application or service where they will simply fake a real chat for you. You must have your own driver, you must have your own program, because this program is not available for download in the public domain. Or you need to buy it already assembled from someone. And only when you understand this program, find a person who will do the chat for you, you will be able to create an imitation of a dense chat. You can look for this on the same FanP, there is a ton of this crap there . There is also a similar type of this type of cheating - chat bots. These are real bots that write in the chat. And this service can already be purchased on Fanpay. But even though there will be a lot of messages, they will not be on the topic of the stream. And most often, such cheating is used by some larger streamers, who already have a chat running smoothly with real people, and then they add chat bots to it. That is, they will write see anything, because the chat is already flying. And this will give them, by the way, a good boost to their earnings and a good boost to their advertising sales. The cost of such a promotion, so that bots write to you in chat, is only 60 rubles. in an hour. Everyone can afford it , but not everyone can manage it properly. And you don't need it anyway. But you might say, "I don't have any followers or views on my broadcast. The advertiser will still understand what I'm doing online." OK. Okay, I heard you. Then we move on to the third type of promotion - followers and broadcast views. Followers and views are the easiest things to get on any social network. Yes, followers are the same as subscribers, and subscribers are the same as called something different on Twitch. So, what are the prices for these services? This is generally the easiest service. It is provided by absolutely everyone on some markets, websites and is really priced at the market. It costs 22 rubles to get 1,000 followers . Getting 1,000 views also costs 22 rubles. That's right. And it's very cheap, and absolutely anyone can do it. I'm talking now about the market, because all people want to earn more. All people want to bring more people to their broadcasts in different ways. And there is no need to condemn them for this. But what if a person is just sitting there with a friend and doing some kind of nonsense, deceiving advertisers, like starting a stream himself, driving up traffic, his friend is using a chatbot, regulating messages for him, and he's bought followers and cheap views and is making money from advertising. Of course, this is already fraud, there is an article for this in the Russian code. It is a criminal offence, but it is almost impossible to prove . But is this visible to advertisers? Yes, it is visible. By the way, he explained how to determine this in his wondering whether you need to grow on subscriber views, I'll answer that question for you.

And here is a bunch of our cases. Boom-boom-boom-boom. In general, yes, we streamer. Link in the description. And we'll meet on the phone. Now let's answer the most important question. Why ca end to this cheating once and for all and ban everyone who's engaged in views on Twitch? And I will answer you: everything is very simple. This is not profitable for Twitch. Yes, yes, Twitch knows about all the streamers who are spinning their stuff online. About all of them, believe me. And how can I explain to you that it is more profitable for Twitch that people are hanging out online. I'll explain now why this is more profitable for Twitch. There is a separate headquarters on Twitch - these are employees who work on advertising the product itself. It's like Twitch. Here. And they come to their bosses with a report and say how many new clients and people they successfully attracted to the site over the past month. And, of course, when the indicators are inflated, people calmly receive their salaries, and their company moves up. And the fact that even Twitch itself and people cannot prove this, other platforms cannot prove this either. It turns out that for the most part, some part of Twitch, that is, the cost of Twitch, is made through cheating. This is beneficial both for Twitch itself and for the streamers who make their online presence. So what I'm telling you is that small streamers bring in a lot more money for Twitch than big streamers. Because when a big streamer starts a broadcast, they have to use so many resources to make that broadcast come to life. When a small streamer starts a broadcast themselves, a couple of people watch it, and Twitch doesn't really care. And if he streams online, it’s also not a big deal for him, and the small streamer just gets doesn't consume its resources for the sake of the streamer, and everything is fine for both the small streamer and Twitch itself. But please note that Twitch sometimes blocks accounts that are running online. And yes, she only does this with some big streamers. That is, some kind of sudden wave of bans occurs, when in one night, in one week, up to 1 thousand accounts can be deleted. Everyone starts to find out about it, and then six months later the same wave happens. If you're a big enough streamer and have a good online presence, then believe me, you're already known, and it's possible that your channel will be banned in the next wave of bans. But real success is not about buying more viewers, it's about what kind of audience you have and how big it is. Let's say I knew my first bird viewers by name. I knew everyone's name. I knew half of them where they lived. And that was my closest audience because it was real and cool. If you want to build your first audience, so that it is real, then I advise you to watch my previous video. There I explained how to go from a beginner to a professional streamer. I shared a lot of tips, so now you have a link , you can take a look. Ah, I want to say thank you all very much for watching and bye-bye.
