We’re happy to announce that we have released an additional update to address these concerns. Streamers can now prevent their banned users from watching their livestreams. You can find and turn on this feature in the Moderation settings section of the Creator Dashboard, through the “Stop banned users from viewing stream” toggle.
Please note, this update 1). does not prevent users from watching livestreams from an incognito window or while logged out and 2). does not prevent users from viewing VODs, clips or highlights. We plan to explore extending the functionality of bans further, including but not limited to preventing VOD and clip playback.
In addition, we’ve made an update so that users that are blocked will now automatically be blocked from watching a streamer’s livestreams.
We will leave this thread open for your other points regarding preventing view of other content types and account creation.

@sassysaurushex You can't delete followers you can only ban or ignore them.
If someone is banned in your channel they can log out on twitch and still see what goes on in your channel and live streams and can still watch chat they just can't interact with your chat.
Look nothing has been done for a long time and streamers still aren't being supported.
I know of other platforms where streamers have been harassed and the platform has taken action on behalf of the streamer which is how it should be.
Whether someone has issues for whatever reason they are it should not be an excuse to harass stramers who are supporting the platform by turning the camera on and engaging with their audience.
It's a dynamic environment in live streaming at the moment and there are far more options than ever before so a bit of care towards live streamers who support the platform would go a long way.
Trolls and people that target streamers severely reduce the capacity for streamers to earn for the platform and themselves and it is a serious issue across all categories on the platform
Time to step up.
