Twitch Is Cracking Down on Viewbotting

Simply put, viewbotting refers to the practice of using an external website or application to increase artificially the number of viewers for content creators on platforms like Twitch. This can be done intentionally by content creators trying to draw attention from companies or sponsors, or as a malicious act to target or harass streamers through hate raids – sending repeated waves of offensive or harmful messages. Gaining legitimate views can occur naturally when playing popular games such as Peak and Among Us on Twitch. However, intentionally viewbotting is against Twitch’s terms of service and may result in account suspensions or bans.
