Dear Twitch,

The simplest idea to solve all bots of the category (Follow, View) forever and help Twitch to become the first platform of transparency and credibility in 4 steps:

• Change your statistical analysis on the platform. For example, “only verify all” accounts are counted and displayed as “View/Viewer”, “Follower” and for other statistics. Nobody gets any more information about how many people are watching the stream. You only see a “real number” of followers and current viewers.
• All verified users (via ID card/Passport or something similar) have access to one account, not several. (Except for partners/affiliates who each have a private account)
• Write to all accounts via e-mail that you will now gradually take action against bots and delete dead accounts if they are not verified (e.g. 1 year to verify the account)
• delete dead accounts / after this year of waiting time you can delete the "chat writing option" for non verify users complete.

job done!

It doesn't just sound simple, it is. If you communicate this properly in public, you are clearly taking action against fraud and your credibility as a platform is definitely strengthened.

It's not for nothing that there are now private companies who can have a social media and influencer presence check for authenticity for a very low price.

Twitch simply must not be afraid that the number of verifications will fail to materialize. The majority of users finally want credible transparency, they don't want hate and agitation in the chats, they want streamers who are credible and don't have hundreds of thousands of followers, even though no one ever writes in the chat or only a 0.14% rate of them.

As an IT specialist, I used it to get our network clean again. As a user of twitch, I would be very happy about such a change. As a streamer myself (now on YouTube), I stand for transparency.

Please do something at last.
Nobody buys bots that can no longer do anything because they require registration.
