If so, then this list is perfect for you because all six Twitch streamers featured here have content that will suit your gaming needs or at least challenge the idea of who and what a gamer looks like. The people that really pay and abuse this arethe ones you see coming on with 15.Are you looking for new people to follow on Twitch and would prefer that your next views go to new and diverse voices in gaming? Twitch is very most likely aware of these unwanted sample handouts of bot subscribers. So yeah, just take it as a sign that you're worth their attention, and I wouldn't worry about it when it happens to you as far as goes for continuation of your channel.
It happened to me a couple of years back already, and I've never had any problems because of it. In other words, without you having anything to do with it, you suddenly get a hundred bot subscribers. The problem is, that people providing these services have a tendency to hand out free, unasked for samples of their services suddenly, as a way to demonstrate their service in the hopes you might be more likely to acquire their services after a little demonstration of it. Basically it's a paid service, where you can pay someone to artificially boost your follow and/or view count, which is done with the help of bots, so you can be higher up the twitch page and therefor more likely to get 'normal' views and followers, as your channel, the higher up, is more likely to be clicked on. What I've stated above only serves to give you an evidentiary trail of bringing the issue to light in the unlikely event that Twitch were to take action against your particular channel. It's laughable but hey any attention is good attention so maybe I'm doing something right after all.Īt the end of the day I do thing Twitch is right in stating not to worry about bot activity. Someone out there is actually stupid enough to pay money and inflate my follower count for no good reason that I can think of. Personally I'm not worried about the follow botting, in fact I'm delighted if I'm to be truthful. basically the typical low forehead nonsensical responses you'd expect from the ignorant.Īnyway, for those of you worried about being follow botted for the first time I'd recommend doing something similar. I personally believe the system is a bit broken as there is no way really to report suspicious activity on your channel.Įven turning to Twitch on Reddit is useless as some think if you want to report follow botting then you are covering your tracks as you know you're guilty. The channel I own is /bandofothers should you be interested. I believe to date I've been follow-botted on at least 3 streams over the past few weeks. Would it not be helpful to allow Streamers to flag certain streams and add a note as to what it is they experienced during that session? Last night (Wed July 28, 2017) is a perfect example of suspicious follow-bot activity and there's no means of reporting it than I'm aware of. The problem I have is there is no way to even report suspicious activity in a timely manner. In my case I'm doubly concerned as I have a very high view count over inflated by my Channels Twitch Player embedded at my Gaming Community on both the Blog and Forum.Īt first glance if I were to come across a channel such as mine I'd suspect it of nefarious measures which could't be further from the truth. The issue I'm reporting today is more an issue with your system rather than just this page.įor newer streamers such as myself, Twitch follow-botting represents a very large shock to the system. I did not find the article helpful and as such clicked the link stating so opening up a dialogue between myself and Twitch for feeback.

#Twitch following how to#
Now if this isn't good enough for you the following may help give you some peace of mind.Īt the bottom of the " How to Handle View/Follow bots" page you get two options to interact: and unfortunately if you're being follow botted there is nothing you can do to report the activity.Īll you can do is go here and read Twitch's passive nomenclature on " How to Handle View/Follow bots".
It appears as if this amount of activity has crossed some threshold I'm not familiar with as now my Twitch Channel is being follow botted. Twitch reports that I currently stream 26 days of each month with an average stream duration of 4h 8m the longest stream being 8h 15m. I've only started to take Twitch streaming somewhat seriously over the past 6 months or so and attempt some regularity to build an audience.
