As a long-time viewer and follower of Kick streams, I must say the recent developments surrounding N3on have left me both bewildered and amused. Having witnessed his meteoric rise to fame, I found it intriguing that many viewers suspected him of viewbotting. The claims were always in the back of my mind, but I chose to give the man the benefit of the doubt, believing that such a talented streamer could have organically grown his audience.
Streamer Rangesh ‘N3on’ Mutama responded following allegations that he was using automated bots (viewbots) to boost views on his streaming channel, a claim made by an employee from the streaming platform.
Over the past couple of years, N3on has seen a massive surge in popularity on Kick, culminating in nearly 100,000 concurrent viewers at its peak.
viewership found his rapid ascent unexpected, prompting accusations that the Kick streamer was artificially inflating channel views via a practice known as viewbotting. This allegation was brought up by JiDion during an IRL stream in June 2024, which led to N3on reacting defensively towards the YouTuber.
On September 18, 2024, a video went viral showing an employee of Kick admitting that N3on had been artificially inflating his video views using bots. The actual number of viewers for N3on’s content was significantly less than what was being reported.
At a certain time, N3on was using automated programs (bots). Now, his average stands at 36,000,” he shared. “I recall him hitting an astounding 90,000 earlier. Yes, I’m confirming that we are indeed focusing on this issue.
Non has responded to the allegations made by the staff member and stated that he never used botting on his channel. He expressed, “I can’t stand when people undermine my achievements, man. I was consistently hitting 100k with the swiftest chat ever recorded, isn’t that right?” He further added, “Back off for once, give me some recognition in my life.
This elderly gentleman, there’s no issue between us, I’m a big fan of Kick and admire its team. However, focus on resolving the API issues, as I can’t be undervalued in any way.
Neon disputes Kick staff‘s allegations that he artificially inflated his stream views.

Additionally, N3on asserted that upon wrapping up his live broadcast, viewership numbers on channels such as Sneako and the Fresh and Fit podcast might surge.
Back in August, I learned about a fresh regulation by the US Federal Trade Commission that’s going to halt the creation of AI-generated reviews for products and discourage influencers from purchasing false popularity indicators such as views or likes. The FTC believes these practices mislead fans about the authenticity of an influencer’s expertise on a particular topic. In simpler terms, they want us to be honest about our authority in sharing opinions with you, dear followers!
Unless challenged in court, the new ruling will take place on October 13, 2024.
