How to detect literally hidden ads of a live broadcast on a website?

Question

contextual advertising

The situation is the following. There is a person (hereinafter Chel A) who drives traffic to the stream through the site (maybe several). This traffic is not bots spun through a proxy, because proxies fly off quickly (almost instantly). Chel claims that he has a programmer who writes a super duper difficult script, and Chel A himself is allegedly an intermediary (it seems to me that someone is lying). (See screenshots of correspondence with Chel A). I asked him for a price for this method of cheating, the answer is ($ 400 per month). He asked for a trial test, started the stream, almost 4k viewers flew in, after 20 minutes Chel A asked to cut the stream, because. ostensibly, according to him, everything is done through a hard-to-customize script. 10 minutes after I cut it off, I turned it back on (Chel A didn't know about it) 3k spectators instantly flew in. I asked Chel And that he threw off one of the sites on which my stream is shown, his answer was - "I do it through pixel advertising" What is pixel advertising? Does it exist at all? If yes, how does it work? After I went to a suspicious site, why suspicious? this site has a group in VK, a site with children's cartoons and people A is subscribed to the group of this site, (By the way, person A is 22 years old +). I started to rummage through the code of the element trying to find something suspicious (the link of the platform on which the streams take place and the nickname of the names of the streamers who wind up the viewers in the same way through Chela A ) as a result, I didn’t really find anything because I’m a layman in programming and I don’t understand anything about it in that. I think PERSON A is doing a trace. Thus, a site with live traffic overlays the broadcast of the streamer, But this is just my theory and I'm not sure about it. In connection with this question. Is it possible to find out that Man A is gaining traffic through a certain site? Is it possible to know this through the element code even if the code is encrypted?
