Not getting notifications about new followers? That's probably because Twitch's security system thinks they're bots!

I was in contact with Twitch for over two months because I noticed that some of my followers weren't showing up in my activity feed. Last night, I finally received what I assume is their final response.

I'm slightly irritated because for weeks no one could give me a clear answer, and then suddenly I was just told about their top-secret security system. A security system that—to no one's surprise—doesn't seem to work properly. Personally, I feel like at least 40% of my followers from the last few months haven't shown up in my activity feed—people who chatted with me for 10 minutes.

But yeah, I know that some other people have had the same problem, and at least there's an explanation. But that seems to be about it.

Alerts / Activity feed broken

Okay, here's the thing:

Lately, my alerts haven't been working more and more often. For example, someone might have followed me, but it didn't show up in the activity feed, so no alert was triggered.

A strange workaround I’ve found is to log out of StreamElements in OBS, close OBS, and log back in. It’s strange because the fact that these events don’t even appear in the activity feed sounds like a Twitch issue. But the workaround makes it look like a StreamElements problem.

Has anyone else experienced this?
