This is incredibly disingenuous, throwing the entire services credibility into question. If streamers realized they were being manipulated, you can bet the backlash would be huge. It also creates a slippery slope; "data shows that if there is an uptick in users at their 3rd hour of streaming they're more likely to continue streaming for another 3 hours and pick up roughly 10% more viewers". These are people -- tricking them into helping to increase your websites monetization is just unethical and wrong.
Now, if you could provide this kind information to streamers and offer guidance, well, then it is their choice and done in good faith (no manipulation required). Companies (and the people behind them) don't have to default to the 'let's be evil' approach to be successful.
On the flip side, having all keys as little oleds that can be remapped to anything I want is something I would likely use constantly.
I've thought about this a bit and I feel like anything worth doing requires hours of my concentration, which I don't usually have. Bite sized chunks of knowledge 'productivity' feels like an accomplishment, or, at least serves as a facsimile. The internet is, in some ways, like an artificial sweetener -- it tastes sweet but never actually satisfies you.
I'm guessing these intrinics map 1:1 to some AMD equivalent. Oh, looky here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh977022.aspx
