ImperialHal calls out Apex streamers Diegosaurs and FaithTTV for allegedly viewbotting

Phillip &quot;ImperialHal&quot; (currently TSM.FTX ImperialHal) took to Twitter to make some serious accusations against fellow Apex streamers Diegosaurs and FaithTTV. Through a now-deleted tweet, the TSM pro player shared more details of his suspicions of the two aforementioned streamers viewbotting their streams.Although the tweet has since been deleted, popular internet personality Jake Lucky shared screenshots of Phillip's tweet and replies. In a thread of tweets that the pro Apex Legends player shared, he accused both FaithTTV and Diegosaurs of using illegitimate methods and scripts to increase their viewer counts.Viewbotting is the act of artificially increasing the viewer count of a stream using bots and programming software. Doing so creates a larger audience and fake viewership, which is something that Twitch doesn't allow and is against their policies.Jake Lucky@JakeSuckyImperialHal calling out Apex streamers Diegosaurs and FaithTTV for allegedly viewbotting on Twitch 245250ImperialHal calling out Apex streamers Diegosaurs and FaithTTV for allegedly viewbotting on Twitch 💀 https://t.co/rkjzEFECZMImperialHal shares evidence against FaithTTV and Diegosaurs for alleged viewbottingAccording to the 23-year-old Twitch star, the accused parties were allegedly creating fake accounts that were inactive and created the very same day as their streaming schedule. Furthermore, Phillip also noted that both streamers get an instant boost in their viewership within the first few minutes of their stream, which is an anomaly to the regular Twitch algorithm.ImperialHal also exclaimed that the viewership count of sponsored streams and Apex streams (their primary content) for both the streamers have always been similar, which is further evidence, according to him, of viewbotting.Diegosaurs responded to the claims through his replies on the deleted tweet and said:&quot;I just woke up to this, I’d be more than happy to just talk to you bro and you know that, to my knowledge, myself and Faith are not having our viewers boosted.
