    Reveals Voter Sentiment Amongst Candidates, Uncovers Suspicious Viewership Activity, and Indicates Top Streaming Creators & Channels

    FRISCO, TX / ACCESSWIRE / October 31, 2024 / Stream Hatchet, a streaming analytics and business intelligence platform and wholly-owned subsidiary of GameSquare Holdings (NASDAQ:GAME), ("GameSquare", or the "Company"), who recently launched an AI-Powered Influencer Discovery Tool for connecting brands with creators, today published its Politics in Live Streaming Report just ahead of the upcoming U.S. election.

    As young voters turn away from traditional media like television broadcasts, this report sheds light on how live streaming platforms have become critical spaces for political engagement, particularly among Gen Z and first-time voters eager to participate in real-time discussions.

    "Live streaming has become a pivotal space for political discourse, changing the way audiences interact with current events in real time," says Eduard Montserrat, CEO of Stream Hatchet. "At Stream Hatchet, we're dedicated to delivering the insights that help our clients navigate this evolving landscape and harness the power of live content."

    Amongst this ecosystem of live engagement, Stream Hatchet tracks insights across major platforms like Twitch, YouTube, Kick, AfreecaTV, and Facebook. The Politics in Live Streaming Report reveals an astounding 513% growth in political streaming activity, underscoring the shift towards interactive, digital entertainment. The report indicates major trends including viewership, who are the top political creators, what are the top streaming channels on YouTube, and what candidates receive the most positive or negative sentiment.

    Additionally, when analyzing YouTube Live data for this report, Stream Hatchet, uncovered a suspicious amount of channels that either changed names or were deleted indicating the possible presence of "view botting," or sending bots to channels to falsely boost viewership.

    Key Insights

    • Platform Engagement Spike: Political viewership surged during major events like the Trump vs. Kamala Harris debate, which had 9.5 million peak viewers, illustrating that critical election moments are now experienced in real time by interactive audiences.

    • Gen Z's Platform of Choice: Over 117 million hours of "Kamala" or "Harris" streams were watched on YouTube Live alone, compared to 203 million hours for "Trump" streams.

    • Positive Chat Sentiment: Minnesota's Tim Walz held the highest chat sentiment score (2.47 positive-to-negative ratio), reflecting new ways voters are expressing approval or disapproval in live interactions.

    • Suspicious Channel Activity: In Q3 2024, nearly 35% of political live-stream viewership on YouTube Live came from channels flagged for suspicious behavior-either deleted or changing names soon after streaming. This group of channels averaged 16,000 viewers per stream, contrasting sharply with the 800-viewer average of legitimate channels, suggesting potential "view botting" to artificially inflate numbers and manipulate viewership trends.

    • Top Streams on YouTube:
