MrDestructoid Emote Origin
When viewers come across channels where the streamer seems to be botting or breaking Twitch’s terms of service, they will use the MrDestructoid emote. It is to “call out” the streamer on their actions in either a joke or an insult.
Viewbotting is seen in a negative light as it is used to “cheat” the system. While botting generally occurs because the broadcaster paid for it, there have been instances where a channel is botted by a disgruntled viewer.
