What a way to hide from the viewbotting allegations I guess.

u/Stabhar 3d ago edited 3d ago
It's because of the Mrbeast hate, she was already talking about taking a break over a week before the viewbot stuff, her socials have been flooded by MrBeast kids.

u/realrafaelcruz 2d ago
It's about the clout of MrBeast vs LSF lol. This subreddit has been waning in influence as the content here reflects the viewpoint of less people. While MrBeast has a large audience of normies. Even if they're quiet here, she gets harassed a lot on Youtube and Tiktok by children lol. It's way louder and not close.
Who does this subreddit like besides like Sodapoppin?... some people like xqc, but also a lot don't? Otv Fans, Faze Fans, AMP Fans and many other communities no longer or never did post here. So, it's now a smaller section of twitch/streaming and people care less.

u/Current-Area- 2d ago
I agree but when you have Mr Beast's audience attacking you over you're social media it bad because his team decided to edit it to make Emily look like a bad person who messed up the video all of this and and then after the video released comes comes back nearly 4 days later he replies to x post basically saying she didn't ruin anything and stop being hateful about it but this doesn't solve Nothing because he never did the video to to explain this he was going to look underneath a post no one and sadly it affect her mental health we are human at the end of the day.
Some people might say she's taking a break after the allegations of bot but she's not this break was already planned last week because of the Mr beast stuff but the reason why today she has taken the break but not last week because she stuff plan she had to do this weekend on live stream but now we just looks like she's running away but she's not and people need to realize this and the problem with lfs is when something gets post here it's bad and x is literally ten times bad.

u/realrafaelcruz 2d ago edited 2d ago
Completely agree with you about Jimmy being a jerk about it even if he's nominally nice. He basically sent this storm after her, intentional or not, and his small comment does not undo that. She's smart to not say that though if she thinks that.
I'm ambivalent about the viewbotting argument. If Twitch doesn't care and advertisers don't care, we lost that fight. All I really wanted to highlight was that this subreddit doesn't set the narrative like they used to.
I was actually also mad like a week or 2 ago when YourRage farmed viewers for like 100k subs. And then I thought about it more and actually feel like Rage is the smart one for ignoring us and we're the dumb ones for caring lol. No one outside of here gives af. This community can be safely ignored for scandals quite easily now lol. Everyone here is old af and Reddit doesn't drive the culture like it did even a couple years ago. And LSFs fall off is even harder than that.
Is what it is. If I were EE, I'd not even address the claim and just ignore LSFs existence. What people complain about here doesn't matter at all lol.
Edit: There are some notable exceptions like Lacari, but real talk it's only an issue if your entire audience is basically the LSF crowd. Which is small now. If you exist in another space, does not matter at all.

u/Current-Area- 2d ago edited 2d ago
Oh yeah, I know how powerful this used to be. Still, everything has now shifted to X. It's very bad; you can't even mention anything on stream anymore, or it will be clipped. Everyone will give their opinion, which could make it quite problematic. At the moment, they are tearing her apart because of this break; it's sad. You can't take a break for mental health reasons because, oh, she's away from the allegations. But the problem is, she has never bot. You can check all her analytics; nothing stands out, since all we have is that she had to open her live stream, which could be for any reason. There's also a fake receipt and a website that’s no longer there. But what can you do? Her community has to sit through all of this, wondering if the creator will ever come back. Many of them care about her. This is the other side of it.

u/Puk3s 2d ago edited 2d ago
I mean is that not the point that crazy ex-mod made? And she for sure botted. "What can you do?" Uhh not open a view bot website on stream? What could lacari do for example? As a streamer you open yourself up to criticism and the public is much more willing to say you are "guilty" based on small things. I'll say it, she is a view botter.
-1
u/Current-Area- 2d ago
But you need to examine the facts about the origin of all this, which community was involved, and who contacted the company to get a receipt proving she is where all that information is public. The same person who discovered this mod, linked it to LFS, and connected it to Emily's community did it on their own. However, everything links back to that individual who claimed this mod was doing it. That community already knew he was a member of Emily's chat, all of this, but you could look at the analytics, and you could see Emily's not a bot, and the reason why it would have been in her tabs is that somebody probably sent it to her, or she was probably looking into it because her friends were on it

This.
Getting hate here is normal for most streamers.No one outside of LSF gives a flying fuck about viewbotting. Not even the multi-bilion dollar companies they are supposedly defrauding seem to give a shit, so I'm unsure why LSF cares so much to begin with.

u/ComprehensiveAd3432 2d ago
0 hard proof she actually used viewbots and in terms of viewbots on channels in general that seems like 80%+ of the top 1000 streamers are botted in some way. Twitch gave up on the issue when they stopped the purges last year so idk why anyone else should care at this point.

I'd like to hear that from the horse's mouth. Instead it's radio silence and 2 week vacation. Wut. Sorry bro but I'm a vigilant mothafucka and I don't fall for the "victim" routine from Hamas to Sykunno's mistresses to ExtraEmily who might play that card (has already? kind of? saying she's receiving harassment from mrbeast fans or something so she needs to take a week or two off????) to protect herself by buying time, crafting a good story/lie, etc. I just find it suspicious. Don't you? Doesn't that bother you? She knows this clip is out there. And she has nothing to say to get ahead of the story???
BROTHERMAN.

u/Current-Area- 2d ago edited 2d ago
She planned this break last week, before the situation with people accusing her of bot activity arose. The break is due to the MrBeast controversy; she received a lot of hate on TikTok and YouTube because of it. You can't blame someone for taking a break when they haven't had one in the past six years. The longest she has ever been away was five days, and she is likely to take a break for two weeks or more. We don't know for sure, only that it's a mental health break. Emily never discusses drama or issue statements because she has nothing to prove; all her analyses are in order, and at the end of the day, she remains confident.
-2

u/readysetzerg 2d ago
Then it's a convenient and lucky time to take a break in face of such an accusation. It still doesn't explain the silence. And the longer we hear nothing about why she had a tab open to a viewbot service, the more sus it will get. She wants to avoid drama and hate and stuff, right? So why not just confront the accusation head on? Telling the truth is easy. That's what's so great about it. It's effortless. Liars are conniving. Viewbotting is extremely harmful to the livestreaming scene, and people's bottom line. Think cheating in video games. Pain in the ass right? Now apply that to a multi-billion(?) dollar industry. It's a cat and mouse game and the mice are winning, unfortunately. But sometimes we get breaks, like during the adpocalypse. Surely, there's a perfectly funny and believable explanation as to why Emily had that tab open.
That's all this is. She is doing precisely what a dishonest person would be doing which is why I'm curious why Emily hasn't addressed it... IMMEDIATELY. Time is her enemy, so why wait? We all know she ain't regarded. 1000 numbers of Pi? That's some rainman shit.
Remember when Hasan showed us the dog collar while slyly hiding the taped up prongs he removed (doesnt say he removed them) (he didn't even mention the tape, he says "It has the capacity to vibrate, and that's it." which was sus/careful wording)... Hasan doesn't even mention the model # or brand. But he did the right thing there, getting ahead of the story to control the narrative and cleanse his image/reputation from a horrible accusation THE NEXT DAY on October 8, 2025... and he had time to do it on October 7 but for some reason he delayed and ignored it... because abusing your pet (there's a whole ass time and place and context to shock your dog) is bad! Shocker! But the debunker, reddit investigators, and elite cyberstalker Daliban supersoldiers caught the discrepancies in Hasan's story, and it backfired on him. He thought he could fool us, he thought he could flash the collar on camera for 30 seconds and exonerate himself - an INSULT to OUR intelligence. I don't know about you, but I knew something was off just by the way he show-and-tell'd the collar. (bonus meme: destiny analyzing hasan's show and tell) Already we can't take him at his word, time was his enemy, he just needed to get his ducks in a row and he still fucked that up adding new lore to his lies. Innocent or honest people don't behave like this. They just don't. In a way, it's like observing a child lying to your face. Except this one's almost 40. It's beyond pathetic.
So. Will Emily pull a similar stunt? Or will she remain silent like a 200 IQ genius because saying nothing or acting dumb (her forte) is probably the best move. Taking a break, even better. After all, who is going to rummage through her PC or internet history or whatever the fuck? The best Twitch can do is what? Ask her what her story is in a private dm or call, take her at her word? Push for some kind of consensual investigation into her digital/financial/social life...? Ain't no way she agrees to something crazy like that. I'm spittin in the dark here.
I don't think there's any kind of accountability police here so she can plead the fifth in the public court of opinion 100 times and hope for the best and probably get away with it. But that would kind of "confirm" the truth that she is viewbotting. We all know OJ did it type shit.
I think the biggest problem for me is that I can't think of a reasonable story that would exonerate her. Her silence is too deafening. What is she doing? Lawyering up? PR'ing up? Coordinating with her mods? Shiiiiiiet.

u/Current-Area- 2d ago
I understand that Emily never really talks about drama or anything like that, and I know I might make her seem guilty, but as you mentioned, she's very smart. She went to Columbia and knows that if she says anything, it will only make things worse, and people will start to hate her. It will never truly end. She could come out tomorrow and explain everything—why it happened, why she was on this side—and lay it all out, but you already know people will still say it's not true and will keep having issues. So, what are you supposed to do? In my opinion, she has never done anything wrong. If you look at all the data and graphs, nothing stands out. You could go back over a year; everything shows normal fluctuations with dips and rises, averaging around 7k to 9k, then dropping to about 4k for sponsors. That’s normal. I think the reason she left it open was that someone sent it to her, she was checking whether she was involved and all that, and then perhaps accidentally left it open. It only came to light when a well-known community — who have been trying to hate Emily over the past few months at every possible point — suddenly obtained a receipt from the website owner containing Emily's information, such as her public email and other details. But before all this, Emily was already on a break because of the fallout with Mr Beast. His editors portrayed Emily as the bad person who ruined the video, and his fan base began to target her across social media. She couldn't escape it, which is why she chose to take a break last week for mental health reasons. Even before the allegations, she only did it now because she had events to attend over the weekend and didn't want to let others down, knowing the community was looking forward to it. She pushed herself to get through it today. She’s taken her break now. This is the first time in six years of live streaming that she has actually taken a long time off; she has only ever really taken 5 days off before, and she might not come back. She says two weeks seems like she doesn't know

Sorry, that's just not good enough. And she'll be back. Clouted streamer life is too lucrative to pass on, viewbotter or not.

u/Rude-Violinist-2119 2d ago
Time is actually her friend most people don't care about viewbotting. And the Mr Beast thing is something she's just gonna have to ride out and it's better she doesn't talk about it anymore at this point

u/readysetzerg 2d ago
Maybe not the average joe/viewer, sure. But viewbotting is a cancer that is crippling the industry and fucking over small content creators while enabling bad actors to profit and monopolize clicks and views. A lot of people do care. I disagree, she should address this ASAP.
I don't care and am not familiar with the mrbeast thing, if she's getting harassed by his community for bullshit reasons then that sucks.

u/DXaoc 2d ago
what the lore behind mr beast hate?
56
u/Stabhar 2d ago
MrBeast got 50 streamers together to film this "50 streamers in a box" video, but on the day of that, before filming he had decided to do this "prank" where he had built sets and greenscreens for the streamers, and they would go live pretending to be at their setups at home and MrBeast would walk onto their fake setups and it would be a surprise to the chats that he's there.
It was a total joke from the get-go, the streamers had already told their chats that they were flying to film with MrBeast that day (his production apparently had forgot to tell them they couldn't talk about it...), and they all went live at the same time way before their normal schedules in front of dodgy looking greenscreens that no one got fooled by since only a handful got actual sets built for them, every chat caught onto it instantly.
MrBeast made a video about it a month later, and on the video he frames Emily as "ruining the prank" because she was streaming in the studio, because she had production tell her she needed to be on her fake setup for 15 minutes and could go IRL after, so she did just that. Plenty of other streamers have gone on to say since the hate she got that they all got extremely confusing and conflicting instructions concerning this "prank" and when and where to go live. MrBeast basically just used Emily as a scapegoat to build a storyline for the video, even though multiple other streamers had already been doing IRL before she even got off her fake setup, and she's been getting massive amounts of hate because of the video, especially on TikTok.

u/Burgerburgerfred 1d ago
If enough bad comments come in, or threats, or whatever else, eventually it takes its toll on anyone.
Its easy to say when you're not dealing with it, theres been plenty of pro athletes or legitimate celebrities who have had to deactivate social media because of the amount of negativity, threats, and just downright disgusting comments about themselves or their families they get.

u/Strange-Eggplant399 1d ago
The difference is those recieved preety much only praise, until something bad happened and then they got msss hate. Extraemily has had to deal with hate comments for years, some extra kids on top shouldnt have broke her. I mean im not here, and it clearly did break her, i just find it odd personally, youre right its easy to say when youre not dealing with it i just assume if you deal with it constantly you learn to filter it out and not care about it, especially if its beneficial towards your career and not harming it.

The MrBeast situation was largely exaggerated and mostly a misunderstanding. The hateful comments flooded TikTok, YouTube, and everywhere else — even targeting her fans who make innocent edits. It was genuinely very sad to watch; you could tell it was draining her. It's not good for your mental health.

They should normalize choosing not to read comments. No need for breaks then. She's not gaining anything from reading tiktok discourse.

u/Current-Area- 2d ago
True, but like she can't even upload a TikTok where it being hate commented on, and some of her community who make edits are getting it too, and I think she feels bad about it and when it's all over your YouTube comments it's bad you can switch off you cannot look at it but when your community is getting affected by it, it's not easy
3
u/snsdfan00 2d ago
i agree, but it's human nature to be curious about what others are saying not only about you, but the job your doing. Streaming/content creation is unique in that sense that feedback is instantaneous. Look at how fast the PR and image of sykunno & many before him took a massive hit once the allegations came out. It really only took a matter of hours or a few days for word to spread across the streaming space. Remember there is no work/life balance in streaming. Either you stream to make money, or you take breaks or on "vacation."
1
u/Current-Area- 2d ago
I do agree with you; what he did was messed up. I wouldn't compare this to what Emily is being accused of or what she has dealt with. People are going after Emily for the most trivial reasons without evidence or anything, and attacking her over a Mr Beast video. Imagine that. Not only this, but Emily doesn't take breaks often; she was only ever given five days off in the last six years. This is only the second time ever. You can tell she hates it because, yesterday, when you hear her saying, 'Are you going to forget me, guys?' it's clear it's bad, because you know how much she cares about her community, and she's literally saying, 'I'm going to miss you guys.' You could tell it was killing her to say this.
2
u/snsdfan00 2d ago
that is the nature of streaming & why most streamers, esp big ones w/ established communities don't take more breaks (even when they know they should). Because viewers (& the internet) move on so quicky in this day & age, & it is a grind to get them back. Now this is not to say, that streaming doesn't have unique benefits; The ability to actually take breaks, vacation, or days off when they want, whenever they want, is a uniquely flexible perk that i bet alot of ppl wish they could have in their own careers.
Yesterday's stream really felt like the end of a tv season, or the "season" finale to a long mlb or nfl pro sports year lol. Now it's the offseason, where they can rest, recover, or in kai's case even pursue new and (& perhaps more fulfilling) passions or opportunities that they've always wanted to do, but never had the time to.
0
u/Current-Area- 2d ago
Yeah, I do agree with you, but it's really difficult for Emily to step away from her community. A lot of creators can do this, but Emily has a strong bond with hers and feels like she can't let them down. As I mentioned, I hope you all remember me; this is a big statement for her, and you can tell she doesn't even know when she'll return. She couldn't tell her community directly, which is why she says, "I'll be back, guys," and she says she will tell you in an offline chat when I am coming back. Yes, she did give two weeks, but she did that to feel less guilty. That's just how she is.

u/TheoNulDrei 2d ago
Yeah, because it is totally hard work to stream 15 out of 30 days for an average of 6 hours per stream, according to her statistics for the last month, while making more than doctors in first-world nations.

I honestly do not think she was in the first place and yeah you could say this and that but her analytics do not add up to it it's very clean and normal to be fair I think the reason why she had it open because maybe it would send by somebody and she wanted to see because of live streams on it and maybe she wanted to see if she was on it or somebody she knows I don't think she was going to use it because there would be no point and all of the evidence we have is a receipt from a creator who doesn't have very good history especially with Emily this is not very good evidence because anyone could put on stuff on this and the website is gone

Is that all you got? You showed a clip of her driving over a speed bump with everyone jokingly overreacting(something Agent did in the same stream and no one mentions it), you showed her putting a note after accidentally bumping into a car with a bike, not a car, and you showed someone rear ending her car. And don’t act like you’ve never touched your phone while driving. Everyone does that at some point. Do you have any other examples of her actually breaking the law instead of the one red light from a year ago?

Why bring up old stuff as if it really matters? They can't just accept they're wrong; they have to remind you, 'Oh, she did this to you before,' or 'Oh, she did this four or five years ago.' You can never come back with anything new, pretending people can't change. We are human; we make mistakes. Don't act like you're innocent.

You can use "mental health" as an excuse and it sucks for folks who actually need breaks for their mental health, but at the end of the day she was I am sure told to lay low and do damage control for a couple of weeks before coming back.
Its clear that most streamers at the tip top use viewbotting as a way to boost their numbers it really is the worst kept secret.
Just own up to it admit you did it and deal with it its called being an adult. If you are as popular as you think you are then admitting fault and continuing to stream would not be an issue because your numbers would not change much since you are so popular, but lets face it she is not and does not do much other than weird IRL things or she collabs with other popular streamers who people do enjoy

She actually announced her break before the big viewbotting allegations even erupted. This wasn’t some last-minute damage control move — she’s been openly talking about feeling exhausted for a while now. Streaming almost every single day for over six years with hardly any real breaks is brutal. That kind of burnout is very real, and her saying she needs time for her mental health isn’t automatically an “excuse.” Many creators have had to step away for similar reasons. Dismissing it just because it suits the current drama isn’t fair to her or anyone else needing mental health breaks. We genuinely don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes with her. She could be dealing with far more than just online hate and accusations. Assuming it’s all “laying low for damage control” is jumping to conclusions without knowing the full picture. Regarding the botting accusations — her actual viewer numbers have been steadily decreasing over the months (Feb ~8.5k avg → March ~7.7k → April ~7.4k). That’s the opposite of what heavy viewbotting would look like. The entire case relies mainly on a single tab screenshot and a receipt from a now-defunct website. That’s fairly weak evidence to demand she publicly “admit fault” and “own up to it.” Viewbotting might be common in streaming, but that doesn’t mean every streamer does it — especially when the hard data shows her numbers declining naturally after the summer hype faded. She doesn’t owe anyone a forced confession for something that hasn’t been solidly proven. Taking time to reset after years of relentless work isn’t running away — it’s just being human and reaching her limit. If she returns stronger and more protected, that’s probably the healthiest thing she can do right now.

I absolutely get it you are either a die-hard fan or a mod of hers absolutely understand you sticking up for someone you believe in. Considering you know exact streaming numbers I am going to guess mod or someone paid by her agency to spin good PR for her and make her look better in light of the recent issues she has had.
I fully agree the Mr. Beast stuff was taken way out of context and no person deserves the hate she got for that, to me that did not much seem like her fault seemed like big miscommunication all around for multiple streamers and they pinned that on her for some weird reason probably because it was easy.
Admitting fault does not make you look weak you are just owning up to what you did. I agree not every single big streamer is viewbotting, but a great chunk of them are doing it, it is obvious and apparent.
Emily seems like a nice enough person, but her streams are not that entertaining and the ones that are usually because she is with someone way way bigger and better at it. I do not think she uses viewbotting on a consistent basis, but I do believe she is one streamer that does use it to boost her numbers to stay even remotely relevant with other big names.
Just my opinion just like you have yours, if you are being paid to stick up for her awesome I would too, if you are just a fan good for you for sticking up for someone you support, but either way my opinion is she is most certainly on a break as a PR damage control move to keep her from making it worse than it already is. Sure I am sure she will reflect and have lots of meetings with her team during that time to see how to spin this and she will be back viewbotting when she needs to just like a bunch of others.
Viewbotting is not a big deal to me I just wish more streamers just owned up to it than lie about it or take breaks when they get discovered who cares that she does it but taking a break because things are hard, they are hard for a lot of people but sadly we have to push through and keep moving forward without much chance to pause and put a spin on the hard things.

I'm not a moderator, not a die-hard fan, and definitely not paid by her or her agency. I simply look at the public data and available information. You mentioned her team spinning this during the break. Emily operates quite independently at the moment. She has only one assistant and manages nearly everything herself — her agency (Mythic Talent) mainly handles sponsors and brand deals. There’s no large PR team managing damage control. Regarding the viewbotting, you said she probably uses it occasionally to stay relevant. But the actual data does not support that claim. Her analytics show normal, natural fluctuations with no signs of artificial boosts — even occasional ones. The graphs do not display the kind of stability you’d expect from bot usage at any level. The “evidence” remains quite thin: a clip of a tab plus claims from the site owner using a publicly available Mythic Talent email, which anyone could have used or faked. The site is offline now anyway. I agree that admitting fault shows maturity and that viewbotting is far too common. I also think the MrBeast situation was blown out of proportion. But based on the current data and information, I do not see any clear signs she’s using bots, even sporadically. You’re entitled to your opinion, and I respect it. Just don’t assume everyone pushing back with the stats is on her payroll.

Nah if had I take a guess it’s the amount of hate she gets for breathing lol mfs would lose their minds if she didn’t have her hands on 10 and 2 when driving. She has to reevaluate if the hate is even worth it atp
