I’m such a user. I have a bot, that is in every channel I follow because I’m connected with the communitys. Everytime someone is mentioning me, I get a notification and can reply. In one community where I’m a mod this is also a method to contact me if the stream isn’t live.
Because of this “bot-lists” I’m now banned in some streams. But I think its a bigger loose for the streamers. They didn’t saved the chat from a harmful bot, they lost a potential viewer/supporter/donator/community member.
I can just repeat what I and others already said: Lurker (Bots) don’t need to be banned. Everything harmful can and will be done with anonymous login.
