I have yet to see someone incorrectly banned for this.
Because they barely ever ban bots, even the most obvious ones.
I've seen streamers get follow and spam botted by thousands or tens of thousands of accounts within hours or minutes. All accounts had random character names and were created within a couple hours of each other.
All reported multiple times by multiple people over months yet no action at all. I have lists with a total of 60k clear and obvious bots reported to Twitch over and over again even by the partnered streamers affected and all were completely ignored and the accounts still alive.
I've been a mod for a couple big streamers for a while and it's absolutely crazy how many reports of follow and spam bots, blatant abuse and ToS infractions Twitch completely ignores. Especially in the last year or so it just keeps getting worse.
I would really not list them as a good example of dealing with bots in any way.
