According to a research published last autumn by Stream-labs, Facebook Gaming has surpassed YouTube Gaming to become the second-most popular platform in terms of hours seen, after only Twitch. Stream-Elements claimed that the platform had its greatest month ever in January, with 617 million hours of monthly viewing time reaching a record high. Despite its large efforts in live gaming, Facebook has failed to recruit high-profile streamers, according to reports like these.
However, data from Crowd-Tangle, the company's analytics tool, raises severe concerns about Facebook Gaming's current situation. Despite the fact that the site has attracted several well-known stars such as Neymar Jr. and StoneMountain64, their broadcasts did not rank at the top. Neither do any of the most-watched producers on the site, according to Stream-labs. Instead, it's a mishmash of generically titled pages that claim to be game developers but act more like spammers, frequently releasing stolen movie snippets or incomprehensible movies masquerading as live gaming streams.

On streams with ridiculous-sounding names like "vehicle vs. enormous bulge" or "this ship is full of passengers," these sites mysteriously build up millions of views and hundreds of thousands of interactions. While most broadcasts included some game video, they sometimes opened with pirated excerpts from popular movies or other wholly unrelated material. Despite Facebook's clear restrictions against spam and non-gaming material, some of these accounts remain in the Level Up or Partner programmes, allowing them to sell fan memberships and use other monetization capabilities.
The Crowd-Tangle data:-
We utilised Facebook's Crowd-Tangle analytics tool to search for the live videos with the greatest engagements from Facebook Gaming creator pages over a 30-day period from January 16 to February 15 to try to identify the biggest streamers on Facebook Gaming. Though Facebook has previously criticised "interactions" as a representation of what's popular on their platform, streamers value interactions since they are a strong sign of engagement with their programming.
Nine of the top ten streams employed unusual techniques, such as intercutting gaming footage with movie snippets, which are more typical of spammers than gamers. While not all of the pages were part of Facebook's monetization initiatives, a number of them did publish content that seemed to be in breach of the company's monetization regulations on a regular basis. More than half of the videos included stolen movie clips or non-gaming content.
The following is a closer look at the top 10 creators whose Facebook Gaming broadcasts dominated throughout the one-month timeframe we looked at. Though this is only a small sample of the platform, previous searches have yielded similar findings. Rather than being anomalies, these films appear to be part of a trend in which spammers are abusing the service.
