How this number is measured
I poll the Chaturbate affiliate API, the StripCash bulk API, and the Streamate SMLive XML feed every 2 minutes. Each poll captures room counts, viewer counts, performer tags, and geography. Snapshots persist to a time-series database every 10 minutes. The number on this page reflects the latest successful snapshot.
This page refreshes its answer on every request. No caching layer sits between the snapshot table and the rendered number.
