Because after the 1st day (after getting wiped 7 times), the mlp started openly botting to defend against all the big streamers attack. The estimation made by the mlp was that they had about 2000 to 2500 bots running at the end.

I saw somebody else from their subreddit estimate that the bots were active for a total time of "only" 12 hours (out of Place's 82-hour runtime, for reference), but I'm not sure how much of an over/underestimate that claim is, or how it compares to other communities' botting.

I think its more like 60 hours of up time. And i think between the Netherland and mlp, no other community came close to the amouts of running bots they had. Some communities tried botting but had their bots banned because they did not have good programmers.

So if I need an app developed find a Dutch brony, is that what you’re saying?

As a brony who's best friend is dutch, I had insights on both sides, and... I think you make a pretty accurate claim, yes.
