Twitchtv-Bots-List

a list of (unwanted) known twitch bots that lurk in every channel...

definition of a lurker bot:

• a viewer on the viewer list that --
• is not following
• has hundreds of followers
• was created several days ago
• has never streamed before
• appears in multiple channels at the same time

examples:

• 
• example list
• a new one
• 4469 channels

why a list of bots is useful:

• banning bots --
• removal of unwanted bots because of "spying" or data collection
• removal of unwanted bots so they are not "gifted" a subscription from "gift bombs"
• viewer list cleanup: "1 viewer", but 10 bots in viewer list..

method of detection:

• using CHATTY --
• click on username to see if following current channel (or /userinfo username)
• if not following, then
• look at follower count & creation date
• if more than ~20-40 followers check if title & category is set
• if has followers then verify has streamed before
• twitch-dl videos username
• twitch-dl clips username
• if none exist then check username account on twitch.tv or other tools (streamlink-twitch-gui)
• if no profile picture or offline screen
• check BotList in Resources below if user appears in more than 50 channels simultaneously
• lastly, check other low (1) viewer channels if this bot (user) appears there simultaneously

purpose of this list:

• informative

missing bots user does not exist:

• hopefully twitch removes bots occasionally. while updating this list i noticed several are missing.
• bot changed username

my twitch list script

• this list is designed for gnu/linux, its a bash script
• for automation, cleaning, checking, and all in one "file" for managing list.txt
• verifies if user exists on twitch (twitch-dl)
• wget list.txt from here (download)
• alphabetizes and sorts list.txt
• downloads json file bot list (external) and appends to list.txt (add your own list)

*botlist* is sanitized against "known good bots", an imprecise science, if you need removal submit an issue

issues are open:

• if you want to add suggestions for potential bots
• if you believe you are NOT a bot, we can verify that
• however if you claim NOT to be a bot, you should remove yourself from lurking in HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS of channels simultaneously (definition)
