I just want to say thanks to anyone in here that can to watch me streams the past couple of weeks and game me a follow. Tonight I reached affiliate and I am so happy!
Hey guys, hoping for some help if thats ok. Last night I was streaming and a bot came into the chat and started advertising and I promptly banned him. A short time later, 722 illegitimate followers suddenly all followed at the same time. I'm 100% they must all be bots, I'm not a big channel and I wasn't raided / hosted. Its left a really bad taste in my mouth and I would like them gone. Does anyone know how to remove these bot / false followers? And is there anyway to stop this happening in future.
Yea @RoadToOneHundred a lot of them just fall off as well as you don’t pay them for the service. A few people here have had that happen. Mods help it too. I feel like there is a timer on them. Like if they don’t get banned in x amount of time they drop the follows. I’ve never been hit by it but have had the “want to be famous” people
Ahh thanks for letting me know! I've managed to remove all the followers with the tool. Still waiting on a response from Twitch. I'll type up the whole escapade and put it on the subreddit so that if it happens to anyone else in future they can see what to do

Just left a bitter taste in my mouth. I'm 20 followers off of 50 but I'd achieved everything else for affiliate. So now I've been sent the email asking me to sign up for affiliate but dont feel like I've earned it and its tained the experiance for me. I'm just not gonna accept it until I hit 50 followers but it's not the same
Hey sorry to just butt in here but I wanted some opinions on this from other streamers, do you think having a different theme/overlay a day would be a good idea or no?
@OozleBoozled personally I dont think changing it all the time is a good idea, you wanna figure out who you are as a streamer so your overlay reflects that and people remember it. Changing it consistently might mess with that
7:28 PM
I different overlay with a similar stylization for if you're switching between just chatting, games, irl, etc. would make sense though
Yea I agree with Axel Having a look for your stream will help people remember your stream. Changing it daily will make casual people forget you faster. Same goes with rebranding
7:32 PM
@RoadToOneHundred yea type it on up and I’ll upvote it when I see it brother
@Shanecus I feel you. 50+ hours a week as a manager and trying to squeeze in some stream time, build an audience, and interact with / build a community with other streamers
11:47 PM
Then I get in that... but if I quit my job I can devote more time to this... but then i can't afford the internet. hmmm
Absolutely brother. I feel consistency is the only things that’s grown my stream but damn the hours hurt lol. Haven’t missed a steam but I feel it. I need to upgrade my shoes.

I actually turned town the manager position because college is somehow still going on during this too :/ But hey we all do this for a couple years and then looking back we will be that much more satisfied. You got this!
Hoping! Appreciate the encouragement. I've skipped a few sessions these past couple weeks, sadly. I work in a restaurant and all of the reopenings around COVID guidelines have been so hectic. And in the service industry sometimes you just don't have the energy to perform any more afterwards
Yeah these positions in which you're interacting with people constantly can be really draining. But, we persist! Are you doing in-class lessons again, already?
Yeaaah we were open for those months also doing to-go and delivery. it was mind numbing, and the amount of people who get upset about not having free bread in their order is insane
Oh I'm sure xD Most food/beverage service situations are very similar. Oh well. Gotta unwind a bit. Trying not to stress too much over the numbers right now, so i can still enjoy the gaming
Yeah but that's the kind of thing which would prevent a lil guy like me from catching a following - biiig numbers. I got bored though. Solo warzone isnt as fun. a lot of campers. I like to play with a small squad
Recently I was on here asking for help after my channel was follow-botted. Just wanted to say thanks so much to everyone that helped, what an amazing community! I've written up my experience as a guide for anyone else who runs into this problem in future and posted it the sub!
Hey y'all - bout to pop back into it for the evening. Not sure what to play... Might hit some Modern Warfare, maybe Golf It! ~ anyone tryna team up lmk!
Temporal Manipulation is probably my most expensive one... But I also never played Magic very consistently, just had my friends forcing cards on me to get me to play lol
Hey how do y'all deal with music for your streams? I'm running spotify but I know it'll only be so long before I get hammered for it. I was thinking of trying to reach out to a bunch of indie artists and seeing if they'd be interested in letting me play them for a mutually beneficial type of deal. Of course I know generally artists hate working for "exposure" because that sh*t don't pay the bills, but maybe some smaller upstart ones would be into it.... thoughts?
I'm debating on whether to continue streaming DBZ Kakarot or not. Seems like it might be a more grindy game than I was expecting, with resource gathering and orb collecting. I'm fine playing that, but doesn't feel great for streaming.
@Sphinx Hey just gonna hit you with a dose of honesty, usually I go follow most people regardless of their content as long as they put effort into it. Low effort pitches like this are not only going to sway people who may have wanted to help you in the past away but also are only going to amount to people who never come to your channel anyway.... I also think advertising in this channel on this discord is against their rule too. You should join discords that seem like they have people that have like interests and minds as you for streaming and make friends organically... not come in begging for follows randomly...
just have fun and put out the best content you can. at the end of the day if you like what you do it is awesome and if others like what you are putting out even better..
I am going to be doi9ng some Rogue Company tonight. New game by High Rez. I do mostly just whatever I want atm, but do Wow content once a week and my horror stream
I'm playing some games currently , a bit of no man's sky during my chill streams , trying out carrion also and in the my regular streams , doing a fablothon will all fable games
@JReyyy Copy pasted this from the guy earlier who did the same thing... "Hey just gonna hit you with a dose of honesty, usually I go follow most people regardless of their content as long as they put effort into it.

I mean it is slower right now for sure. At the same time a lot of use are doing full time jobs again and still streaming. Trash is a bit of a steep opinion when it’s just streamers talking to streamers
11:17 PM
Like it isn’t a “get free follows place” it’s just a streamer hang out
I am always the person who gets the mission done but fucks up alot along the ways and ends up killing a lot of people because they werent supposed to find out
1:15 AM
I am always the one who makes it interesting for the rest because i dont just run in and stabby stabby the way through
lmao shoutout to that dude who dropped in here to call the server trash. Sad I missed it. Actually really enjoying my time here so far and I've only been in a couple days. He probably drops in peoples' stream channels with the "f4f"
If all you do is join this server for the twitch exposure, and just sit in the promotions section, then you could easily think its trash. However, once you realize that "hey we're actual people in here" its actually a pretty cool place.
Yea, I mean I’m honest I’ve not chatted as much this week with coving shifts at work. Vegas his hammered with Covid right now and picking up all the shifts I can. But the past two raids I did I dropped in here for. The support is here, it just takes time. I mean one of them we raided with 16 and got her affiliate that night! But working 40+ into the stream sun-thurs kills me xD
I feel ya, I'll be honest I approached this server with the wrong mindset for quite some time. And then it kinda dawned on me like a sack of bricks. There is an immense amount of potential and support here and I think that's awesome. It's my turn to roll up my sleeves and be a little more active.
So the rest of the muslim world calls it eid al-adha. Its the moment ibrahim (abraham) is told to sacrifice his son in the name of god and at the last moment, becauee he believed, god spared his son and sacrificed a goat instead. Its a holiday all about family and charity. This is the time of the year when people travel to mecca for pilgrimage
Is there something people do besides the pilgrimage? I imagine not everyone does it. You visit family by the looks of things, but do you do something specific? Or is it just a day where you enjoy visiting each other and have a good time within the family?
When I was around 22, I briefly dated a Muslim woman who was extremely lovely. Ananda. However, as I learned more about the religion from her in our time together, I also learned that if you were to convert for someone to being a Muslim, it would not be right in the eyes of Allah. And I couldn't find it in myself in my heart of hearts to become a Muslim, I could not see Allah in the way she and her strict family did.
7:29 AM
So I had to explain that to her and her family, and they were very thankful for being honest.
7:29 AM
How did that go with you? Did you convert because you felt your connection with Allah? Or did you do it for your wife?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't part of that because their culture raises them to be supportive and caring, but in cultures that don't force submissiveness, they're allowed to grow in other aspects, leading to more kind and well-rounded people?
7:38 AM
I'm non-religious, so very possible I'm seeing this wrong.
Hello everyone! Has anyone ever changed the name of their twitch channel? Im considering it and want to know if there are any problems i might run into
Followers or viewers? The goals in streamlabs only change when you're live. So if you had a follower goal and you gained or lost followers while offline, it didn't adjust to reflect that. Very annoying, because to change the number on the goal you have to basically make a new one
5:47 PM
But it's not buggy, just the way it operates, sadly
I actually turned off follower goal tho on the attachments. Everytime you lost one you had to manually go in and change it. There was a while there I was losing 1-2 follows a day as I adjusted what my channel exactly wass
@Zeek thank you for the follow. You the best. I'll give you a shout out on the end of the weekend tweet always appreciate the ones I get when not online xD
