Chess.com has created a partner program in which they reward chess.com affiliates by legally "view-botting" their partners with embedded players on the chess.com website. 

As of 2021 Chess.com has over 77 million users and over 3.1 Million active users per day (2020)

Affiliated streamers can see an increase of 100's to 1000's of live viewers on their stream through showing up on the chess.com homepage/streamers page/Chess.TV.  These high artificially created viewer counts are harming the category as at any time of the day 10-15 certified chess.com partners will show at the top of chess category.

The Chess.com partner program is inherently oppressing small streamers who are trying to grow their channels organically by decreasing their discoverability within the chess category on twitch.

The purpose of this petition is to urge chess.com to STOP artificially inflating the viewer count on their partnered streamers through their embedded players to allow equal discoverability to all chess streamers.
