Recently, myself and many others have noticed more of the bots coming into streams. Unfortunately sometimes they can even do a follow raid and that is quite intimidating to deal with, especially if your a new streamer.
Most of the time it’s just them coming in and trying to put a link in chat for buying followers.
Fortunately there are a few tools to help with that, including a helper you can add to your streams that is located right on twitch and inside your moderation panel.
The biggest thing to try not to do is panic. Maintain a level head and breathe, it will be alright.
