I Got Botted to 600,000 Subscribers…

Summary

The presenter claims his YouTube channel was artificially “pushed” upward with “bots” (paid subscriber manipulation) to make it look like he reached 600,000 subscribers during a short livestream.

He argues the spike was suspicious because the visible live activity didn’t match the sudden growth. Specifically, he says that at peak he saw roughly ~120 people in chat, with only a small number of moderators, while his subscriber count jumped by about 130–140 in under an hour.

What he observed during the livestream

• He expected to reach 600K around Thursday night or Friday morning, based on his recent analytics, where he typically averaged ~70–100 subscribers per day.
• During the Wednesday livestream, his subscriber counter reportedly climbed unusually fast:
  • It briefly appeared to cross the 600K milestone.
  • Then it fluctuated, “stalled,” and even dipped back under 600K momentarily.

His interpretation

He interprets these changes as coordinated interference—possibly a paid troll/bot service—intended to:

• trigger the threshold temporarily, and
• manipulate the subscriber count up and down to create confusion.

Consequence and resolution

• When he checked the next day, he says the “real” subscriber count shown by the platform/analytics was lower than what the livestream counter suggested.
• He states that he was not truly at 600K when he woke up, but later (around midnight Thursday) he hit the real 600K.
• By Friday morning, he had surpassed it, reaching approximately 633–634.

He emphasizes that although the livestream milestone looked fake, he ultimately reached 600K legitimately, about a day and a half later.

How he handled celebration

Because something felt “off,” he chose not to celebrate immediately on the day the fake-looking spike appeared. Instead, he planned to celebrate once he confirmed the real milestone, which he did later after verifying it.

Overall message/opinion

The presenter frames the incident as targeted sabotage by a “technical” hater/troll who allegedly wanted to undermine his milestone—and possibly profit from the chaos or attention.

He dismisses the bot threat as not truly beneficial long-term, arguing that bots don’t engage with content and can’t provide real support.

He concludes with confidence, saying the channel will focus on the next goal: 700,000 subscribers, with plans for more travel and upcoming projects.
