Ban these channel bots as soon as possible!

One of the biggest problems streamers face these days on the Twitch platform is the proliferation of channel bots. The chat bots join thousands of channels collecting data, views, followers and confuse unsuspecting new streamers. New streamers believe viewers listed in "users in the chat" are people consuming the content when they are just doing some data harvesting and fishing for follows.



Some of these bots in our opinion are purposely being placed to get new streamer to click on them and visit their channel page. Which then runs ads or auto hosts another channel in the attempt to boost views.

It is highly recommended that you ban all of them from being listed in your channel. To do that go to your channels chat box and type /ban channel. Replace the channel with all the below listed bots which will be periodicity updated. You can do this right now even if your channel is offline. Doing it before you go live will prevent them from showing in the user list.

Can you lose affiliate

Becoming a Twitch Affiliate is a big achievement for any content creator on the platform. It provides numerous benefits such as the ability to earn revenue through subscriptions, ads, and donations. However, many streamers are unaware that this status can be lost if certain rules are broken. In this article, we'll discuss whether it's possible to lose your Twitch Affiliate status and the reasons behind it.

The simple answer is yes, it's possible to lose your Twitch Affiliate status. Once you've achieved this status, you need to maintain it by following Twitch's terms of service and your affiliate agreement. Twitch's rules are in place to ensure a safe and positive environment for everyone on the platform. Failure to follow these rules can result in the loss of your affiliate status.

There are various reasons why you might lose your Twitch Affiliate status. The most common one is breaking the rules listed in the terms of service and the affiliate agreement. Twitch's terms of service cover various areas such as harassment, hate speech, nudity, and sexual content. If you're found to have violated any of these rules, your affiliate status could be revoked. It's essential to familiarize yourself with Twitch's terms of service and abide by them to avoid losing your affiliate status.

Another reason why you might lose your Twitch Affiliate status is by being inactive for 12 months. If you haven't streamed on your channel for a year, Twitch may recycle your channel name, which means you'll lose both your name and your affiliate status. To avoid this, you should try to maintain a consistent streaming schedule, even if it's only for a few hours each week.

In conclusion, becoming a Twitch Affiliate is a significant milestone for content creators on the platform. However, it's important to remember that it's not a permanent status, and you can lose it if you break the rules listed in the terms of service or become inactive for 12 months. As long as you follow Twitch's rules and maintain an active streaming schedule, you can keep your affiliate status and continue to reap the benefits that come with it.

Who owns twitch

Who Owns Twitch in 2026? Amazon, CEO, Prime Gaming & How Twitch Technology Powered Amazon IVS

If you are a gamer or streamer, you have probably heard of Twitch.tv. But many people still do not realize that Twitch is actually owned by Amazon.

In this fully updated 2026 guide, we explain exactly who owns Twitch, how the acquisition happened, who runs the company today, the major benefits that come from the Amazon partnership, and one of the most important but lesser-known outcomes: how Twitch’s advanced streaming technology helped Amazon build its own live streaming service called Amazon IVS.

Twitch Ownership: Still Amazon in 2026

Amazon acquired Twitch on August 25, 2014 for $970 million in cash. Since then, Twitch has remained a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon with no change in ownership.

The deal gave Amazon one of the biggest live streaming platforms in the world and created powerful synergies between Twitch and Amazon services.

Current Leadership & Company Size

Twitch is currently led by CEO Dan Clancy, who took over the role in March 2023. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California and employs thousands of people worldwide.

Under Amazon ownership and Dan Clancy’s leadership, Twitch has continued to grow while staying focused on live streaming, creator tools, and community features.

How Twitch’s Streaming Technology Helped Build Amazon IVS

One of the biggest strategic reasons Amazon bought Twitch was its world-class live streaming infrastructure. Twitch had spent over a decade perfecting low-latency global streaming technology.

In July 2020, Amazon Web Services (AWS) launched Amazon Interactive Video Service (Amazon IVS). This is a fully managed live streaming service that lets any developer or business quickly add high-quality, low-latency live video to their apps or websites.

Amazon IVS uses the exact same technology and global infrastructure that powers Twitch. Official AWS documentation and announcements repeatedly state that IVS is built directly on Twitch’s proven streaming technology.

This means:

• Businesses, brands, educators, and other platforms can now use Twitch-level streaming without having to build the complex infrastructure themselves.
• IVS powers many other live streaming services (including competitors to Twitch).
• It delivers low latency (under 3 seconds in standard mode, or under 300 milliseconds in real-time mode).
• The technology scales to millions of viewers globally.

This is a major hidden benefit of the Amazon acquisition. Twitch’s decade of innovation in live video delivery was packaged into a public AWS product that generates revenue for Amazon while continuing to support Twitch itself.

Prime Gaming: The Biggest Benefit of Amazon Ownership

One of the strongest connections between Twitch and Amazon is Prime Gaming (formerly Twitch Prime).

Amazon Prime members get these free benefits every month on Twitch:

• A free monthly channel subscription to any streamer you choose (supports creators directly)
• Free PC games you can keep forever
• In-game loot and cosmetics for many popular titles
• Exclusive chat emotes and badges
• Extended VOD storage (60 days instead of 14 days for non-Prime members)

Prime Gaming remains one of the most popular perks for both viewers and streamers in 2026.

Final Thoughts

Twitch is still fully owned by Amazon more than 11 years after the acquisition. The partnership has brought real value to the platform through Prime Gaming and other integrations. Most importantly, Twitch’s advanced streaming technology was turned into Amazon IVS, making professional-grade live streaming available to developers and businesses worldwide.

Whether you are a casual viewer, a streamer, or an Amazon Prime member, the connection between Twitch and Amazon continues to shape the future of live streaming.

4,633,479 followers in one day....

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.

How to change the font size for twitch chat

How to reset your dashboard using these simple steps!

So today I found myself looking at my twitch dashboard being all messed up.  They seem to have added a new panel called "Ad Manager" which then changed the default layout.  Here is how to fix it by using these simple steps.

Step 1

Go to your dashboard and then click on the pencil icon located on the top left of the screen.

Step 2

In the new panel that pops up on the side called "Edit Stream Manager Layout", click on the reset to default button and then accept.

Once you accept the change to revert back to default layout, it should be how it was before today's change. You can also customize the layout by clicking the add button to the panels you want to add. Also can rearrange the location of the panels by holding your left mouse button on the title section of the panel and dragging it to where you want it.
