Fake Follows on Twitch?
3 years ago
Texas, USA

Dunno if there might be another thread on this. I have very recently been getting a string of follows, but they do not appear in my Followers List for some reason. Therefore I am unable to tell if who follows me is a bot or legit user, because the fact that there have been several follows with almost the same name leads me to believe they are bots. Is there anything I can do about this?

Just ignore it, tbh. Nobody really cares about followers, other than the frankly pathetic 50 requirement for affiliate. I'm not sure even in cases of that if they care whether the accounts are genuine humans (but hopefully 50 followers is not much of a barrier anyway).

Yes @Silo_Simon it seems like this Lunar person is a bot. I just sometimes forget if some followers are part of the community of the game I stream.

Lunardowns was abusing bots and host glitches a week or so ago. I saw a video of someone getting ~1600 follows at once, and then they all spammed a discord link in his chat. I myself was only hosted by him once with 160 viewers that did not ever really show up. Best thing to do is just wait until twitch bans them. I heard there is a tool to remove known bot accounts but have not personally looked into it.
