Viewbotting is the act of artificially inflating view counts on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, or Instagram by using automated systems instead of real human viewers. These systems can include bot networks, scripts, or paid services that generate fake traffic to make a video or livestream appear more popular than it actually is. Although some people use viewbotting to inflate numbers or create the appearance of higher engagement, it violates platform policies and is often detected through abnormal traffic patterns, repeated IP addresses, or non‑human viewing behavior. Platforms may remove fake views, restrict accounts, or issue penalties when viewbotting is identified. | 冰糖游戏 | August 15, 2026
