That's one hot take... Advertisers don't care if the streamer is a bot, they care if the viewer is a bot. Mega-corpo's ideal solution is 100% bot streamers and 100% real people viewers.

This isn't age verification, or anti-bot. This is straight up fulfilling surveillance contracts with the US government. They don't even need to justify it, they are holding money hostage instead.
