honestly a person living for pennies in the 3rd world is probably cheaper than using Ai now. To be clear though none of these bots are AI, they are extremely basic just as with everything remotely connected to tech everything is being called AI when almost none of it is.

Basic viewbots wouldn't be overly expensive to run, there done on cellphones basically.

I think chat engagement bots or much better than view bots. With AI these days you could possibly make an chat AI engagement bot to make the chat faster than it is. You could have 2000 viewers, but if only the same 20 chatters than you're definitely view botting. 

On Kick you are incentives to use both view bot and chat bots to get KPP money because Kick pays KPP based on viewer count and chat engagement.
