Rangesh “N3on” Mutama was recently caught red-handed view botting his live stream after his chat was filled with supposed viewers that were portraying the same comment with the same discord invite link. For a brief context, N3on is a comparatively new Kick live streamer who grew to prominence not so long ago. Surprisingly, his rise in followers and views was so fast-paced that several popular live streamers and the online community speculated the use of viewbots/act of viewbotting.
Viewbotting is when streamers and content creators use specific tools to create inflation in live counts that in reality do not exist. Numerous live streamers especially from the Kick live-streaming platform are accused of the act but N3on hit the top spot.
It was during the streaming sensation’s recent Christmas special stream that N3on’s live chat started freaking out displaying the same comments and the same links from the same user. N3on looked puzzled and stated in confusion how his chat was going insane but the community was clever enough to speculate viewbotting in live action. However, this is not the first time the streamer has been accused of botting.

Paul “Ice Poseidon” Denino, a celebrated streamer and content creator addressed N3on’s alleged botting issue a couple of weeks back on his stream. According to Paul, there was no way that the content he made was enough to attract such higher viewership i.e. over 100k viewers. Further on, the streamer clearly accused N3on of view botting claiming that was the only way of him becoming an overnight celebrity.
