If you have recently been the victim of fake followers, and are worried about the repercussions then you have come to the right place. This post will show you how to remove how to remove twitch follow bots. Being on the receiving end of a follow bot attack can be both frustrating and deflating. After all your hard and genuine efforts to grow your audience organically. Luckily there is a solution available. Although not a perfect solution it is the best option out there, especially if you act quick enough.
Keep in mind that this is a very powerful tool and has the ability to completely wipe your follow list if required. After the followers have been removed there is no backup or way to undo those changes. So make sure you read the instructions carefully and take your time to understand the process.
We’ll cover two ways of removing followers here. The first is a manual process of removing individual followers. This is good for troublesome or annoying followers. However, in more sinister cases where you’ve been follow botted this method will prove much too tedious. Luckily there’s a second method for removing a a large amount of bot followers.
How to Remove Followers On Twitch (Individual)

How to Remove Followers On Twitch (Follow Bots)
- Head over to commander root follower remover tool
Select Login Via Twitch located at the bottom of the page
Select Authorize to authorize the follow remover tool to access data from your Twitch channel. This step is necessary as it allows the tool to find information on your followers, and later on remove them.
Once authorised take a look at the Filter Results section. What we’re going to do is created a filtered down follower list that we can remove en masse. If there’s a specific day that you were follow botted you can use the Followed At between date range to find those who followed on that specific date.
If you’re unsure of the day you received a follow bot attack select the Show more stats to get a breakdown of days that you received a lot of followers.
With the dates set, change the Is Known Bot to Yes. Finally select Apply Filters. You’ll now get a list of known bot accounts that have followed you between two given dates.
Once you’re satisfied that these are indeed fake followers select the Remove All Followers Listed Below -> Remove Followers and block them from re-following. Once again we’ll mention that this action cannot be undone, so you need to be absolutely sure that these are actually fake followers that you’re happy to delete.
Avoiding Future Follow Bot Attacks
Now that you have successfully removed unwanted followers you are probably wondering if there is a way to prevent future incidents. Unfortunately there’s no definitive way to stop these follow bots incidents from occurring. However there are some good recommendations for reducing the chances of it happening.
Firstly and obviously never use services where you purchase followers for your Twitch account. Although you typically have to pay each time for these services, it’s usually not a good idea to have your account associated with shady services. In addition to buying followers, don’t get involved in any of those follow for follow services. Even after you’re done with them, you’ve still got your account registered with their service.
As tempting as these services can be you really can’t force hitting milestones such as getting affiliated on Twitch. At the end of the day, having a bad follow / viewer ratio screams desperation to your potential viewers. It’s also very inauthentic and will do your brand and Twitch channel more harm than good.
Why You Shouldn't be Buying Twitch Followers
As we have mentioned before, we tell streamers never to use any service which offers you followers in exchange for money. Growing on Twitch is hard and so we completely understand the appeal of trying to brute force your way to get affiliated. However, in the long run this won’t serve you well at all.
At the core of every successful Twitch channel is a community of people built around it. These people are willing to turn up to watch the streamer and in most cases support them through donations or subs. You can most likely “hack” your way to becoming an affiliate but to what end ? Having the ability to monetize your channel won’t bring you any closer to making a living on Twitch if you don’t have an engaged community. Even before you reach the affiliate level you can receive donations from your community members.
Instead of focusing on metrics for your channel, instead focus on improving the quality of your content. You can start by getting your streaming room setup so that you can have a more professional image. Another great improvement would be to optimize your broadcasting software to ensure you’re streaming a smooth and high quality feed.
Finally, create a brand built around your personality and channel. This includes both customization for your channel, and setting up stream graphics.
Conclusion
It’s never a nice experience having to deal with malicious follow bots, especially if you are a genuine and passionate streamer. Follower count is a great way of gauging your organic growth and so having an influx of fake followers can be quite irritating.
Luckily there is a solution which we have discussed that should help get your follower count back to where it belongs. Hopefully this guide on how to remove twitch follow bots will serve you well and you can get back to streaming again.
