How does it work with viewers on Twitch?

When I start a stream, I have 0 viewers at the beginning. But after about 30-60 seconds I have a viewer EVERY TIME, no matter how bad the quality of the stream / the content is. Now my question: is this a bot? Or maybe I count myself as a spectator, since I have my dashboard open when streaming and because the stream video is running next to it?

You can see in the viewer list, who is still there… Since you can answer the question yourself…

If you watch yourself, it's the same.
