Jaime do you think Matt and Kevin lost views/$ a week ago and do you think this effect is long term? Is this problem solved? Could you have alerted Twitch and gripsed so viewers can just watch some god damn poker? I prefer the house over Gripsed btw but get bored as hell playing micros and have watched his channel.
I have no idea what it feels like to be publicly outed.
They would have lost very little money and it would depend on their contracts with sponsors. In terms of viewer revenue very very little. I personally don't think that changes the weight of the argument but less then $10 for both.
Is the problem solved? We will see if the viewbot is on next time Gripsed streams and/or what his response is.

Yeah mostly agree. Twitch is actually quite approcahable. You can community with almost everyone that works there on Twitter, discord, skype, etc. I assume they would comment and definitely take action if they could. As explained in the OP though, legal contracts with partners can't be terminated without absolute 100% without a doubt proof that he is the one that put the bot on. We don't have that so they wont say anything.

Jonathan is doing a ? and answer stream and has ignored all questions about Gripsed

Jonathan Little or anyone else that is friends with Gripsed, mods for Gripsed, likes Gripsed stream, etc, is not to blame here. Jonathan Little is a good guy and great player. He shouldn't take any heat and it is not his questions to answer.

The graph looks the same. What we are looking at his the change in growth not the total number of viewers. From 750 every .5 to 80 every .5 at the start of a stream. If you want more graphs his whole history is open on twinge. I'll cross post from reddit.

JL just typically answers a lot of poker related questions on stream.
Agree not his thing to deal with.

Sparkes used to be a mod for me back in the day but stopped coming around when Gripsed started streaming. He is (or was) a big part of the Gripsed community. Always there supporting. I give a lot of weight to his tweet.
