Twitchtv-Bots-List

a list of (unwanted) known twitch bots that lurk in every channel...

atenbot

definition of a lurker bot:

banning bots --
removal of unwanted bots because of "spying" or data collection
removal of unwanted bots so they are not "gifted" a subscription from "gift bombs"
viewer list cleanup: "1 viewer", but 10 bots in viewer list..

using CHATTY --
click on username to see if following current channel (or /userinfo username)
if not following, then
look at follower count & creation date
if more than ~20-40 followers check if title & category is set (outdated: helix api)
if has followers then verify has streamed before (3rd party tools, etc)
twitch-dl videos username
twitch-dl clips username
if none exist then check username account on twitch.tv or other tools (streamlink-twitch-gui)
if no profile picture or offline screen (see twuserinfo.sh)
check BotList in Resources below if user appears in more than 50 channels simultaneously
lastly, check other low (1) viewer channels if this bot (user) appears there simultaneously

hopefully twitch removes bots occasionally. while updating this list i noticed several are missing.
bot changed username - tracking this information was removed from api a few years ago. (see user_id)
bot owner intentionally "deactivated" account to escape detection and will reactivate later.
use scripts or better to quickly verify user information (limitations: helix api)

this list is designed for gnu/linux, its a bash script
for automation, cleaning, checking, and all in one "file" for managing list.txt
verifies if user exists on twitch (twitch-dl)
wget list.txt from here (download)
alphabetizes and sorts list.txt
downloads json file bot list (external) and appends to list.txt (add your own list)
optional show diff between the final list and current list here
botlist is sanitized against "known good bots", an imprecise science, if you need removal submit an issue

if you want to add suggestions for potential bots
if you believe you are NOT a bot, we can verify that
however if you claim NOT to be a bot, you should remove yourself from lurking in HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS of channels simultaneously (definition)

note commanderroot can be blocked/banned also, even if you use their tool & i recommend pasting this list into the root ban & block filter tool.
