I've had someone I know who's fallen deep into the pro BLM messaging on this stuff claim that these viewership numbers don't matter because supposedly the livestreaming audience has grown explosively. They claim records are being set, blablabla. Does anyone know if hard numbers of any kind are being published for the livestreams?

This is someone who reflexively dodges and twists to defend the movement, to the point of claiming the violence is all right wing agitators, etc., and I'm pretty sure it's a bunk claim anyway. Just would be curious if we know what the online viewership is.
