How did a channel get 4,633,479 followers in one day on Twitch?
So Twitch has been having a lot of issues for the past couple of months with massive amounts of follow bots. On August 19, 2020 a channel received the biggest amount of followers in one day on Twitch. Over 4.6 million follows which is a record for sure but unfortunately they are all bots.
Curious minds need to ask how is this even possible to occur on the platform? How can the system allow for 4.6 million accounts to all be able to follow one channel in one day with out setting some sort of alarm? Are these hacked twitch accounts that are being used?
We need some update on this from Twitch, hopefully we can get some sort of news in the not so distant future. I purposely left the channel name out of this posting because they appear to be randomly targeted by whoever or whatever runs this follow bot operation.
A similar event happened a while ago with ASMR streamers which was posted here a couple of months ago. The stream that was affected was able to get the follow bots removed after a period of time. Hopefully this channel gets the same with Twitch investigating and removing the bot followers.
