Add Reason for Bots in Block API
The Developer APIs are often used to resolve relationships with sets of accounts used in follow bots through the Block User Endpoint. It would be useful if we could expand the reasons to allow developers to programmatically report bot accounts to help Twitch in removing these accounts. We are all actively building systems to help combat this issue on behalf of Twitch, so let us do our best to help your team.

I 100% agree. My list of bot accounts and other malicious account is approaching 2 million accounts. Most of these have not been suspended or deleted while they were involved in multiple hate raids and/or follow bot attacks. Twitch's official stance of ignoring the follow bot attacks is simply not an option. Nor is blocking 2 million accounts.
