I dont’ understand the question, you tested if userID follows channelID, and userID doesn’t.
IE the authentication user, say PrintHam, doesn’t follow Lirik on Twitch.
Kraken didn’t return a follow object
Checks if a specified user follows a specified channel. If the user is following the channel, a follow object is returned.
As PrintHam doesn’t follow Lirik.
Additionally if you were calling helix, Reference | Twitch Developers you’d get an empty data array which would show the same (no follow found between to two IDs)
