Nah, i was watching that(stream was fucking amazing btw) and the chat, while active, was nowhere near active enough for the view-numbers.
It's not like this is the first time it happened, didn't people spend literal weeks botting some holo girls?
Yeah that's true YT raids are garbage, unless i manually click on the channel there's like 50/50 chance of it actually taking me to the raid target if the raid pop-up shows up at all which fairly often doesn't happen.
