Buying follows is an open secret on Twitter and Instagram, and I personally had my twitch credentials stuffed to have my account follow accounts with 1 video and thousands of followers
- hombre_fatal 6y ago> had my twitch credentials stuffed "Credential stuffing" is such a goofy, overly fancy term for reusing or having a crappy password.
- tomlagier 6y agoAnd were any of those accounts that you followed "big streamers"? The fact that botting exists does not mean that's how most big streamers got started.
- lovehashbrowns 6y agoThis is not like Twitter or Instagram where you get things or clout purely on your follower numbers. Twitch has viewer counts during a livestream, and it's easy to tell botted accounts or inflated viewer counts based on chat participation. It's relatively easy to spot inflated viewer counts when there are 1,000 viewers on a channel but very few comments in the chat, for example. And most streamers have a long history of streaming. For example, some of the bigger ones I can think of, Reckful, Destiny, Lirik, Alinity, Tyler1, Day9, etc.
