After all your hard and genuine efforts to grow your audience organically. Luckily there is a solution available.

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.
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.
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.
