Yes tesnopesno, this is the reason you get an error when you try to follow a channel that is in follower only mode. You are maxed out on channels and it will prevent you from chatting in any new channel that has followers only chat enabled.

The fact that Twitch cubby-holes everybody else's complaints under this one actually makes it much more difficult to promote this idea. Please fix this! I am tired to having to go through my list of followed channels trying to decide who will get unfollowed!

It's going to surprise some people to even learn that there is a limit to the number of streams you can follow. I don't think this limit is applied to all accounts.
I have been on Twitch a long time and have done a lot to help people set up streams and manage their communities. As such, it's possible that I may follow more streamers than the average person. Even still, I have 1 account and I am a real viewer who subscribes, gifts subs and donates my time.
New features allow some streamers to restrict chat only to followers. So by limiting my ability to follow more people, Twitch is essentially cutting off a growing percentage of streams from me.
Also, Twitch is basically hurting small streamers. Clearly people are going to be less likely to unfollow larger more established streams just because they want to follow a new person. So my ability to support and help new streamers is severely limited by this restriction.
How is it that people have seemingly almost no restrictions on creating fake accounts and bot accounts? And somebody who is legitimately trying to follow more people is restricted in some arbitrary way?
Please allow the ability for me and others like me to follow unlimited streamers on Twitch. Setting a limit on something this basic only hurts honest viewers and smaller streamers.

100% Meadow is correct. The fact that this has taken nearly 5 years to get to the point where this basic idea is "gathering interest" is pretty problematic. If Twitch continues to believe they have scaling issues, they can instantly solve them by changing their policies to have tougher verification by default. Fewer fake accounts will allow them the headroom to allow the real users to follow as many people as they would like to.
