🚨 Kick Streamers Exposed: Chat Botting from their own Accounts!

Recently, well maybe a few months back now, I've identified streamers who appeared to be using automated software to spam identical messages—like `!lurk` or their own emojis—across hundreds to thousands of chatrooms. When I started to dig deeper, I couldn't believe how bad it really was.

How the Automation Works

My investigations revealed that some streamers are likely utilizing scripts (or small applications) that realistically can be written in just 30 minutes (won't get into the technical details), to join hundreds of chatrooms and spam messages like `!lurk` or their own emojis. I went as far as attempting to demonstrate this to Kick staff twice—once months ago and again recently—proving how easy it is to automate this behavior. These scripts/apps they're running, run for hours, even while streamers are live gaming, interacting with their own chat, or stepping away entirely.

• Massive Scale: Streamers spam 100s to 1000s of chatrooms with identical message sequences.
• No Interaction: They don’t respond to questions, indicating they’re not watching the channels.
• Own Emojis: The spam often promotes their custom emojis, boosting their brand artificially.
• Relentless Operation: Messages continue without breaks, even during unrelated activities.

A Tiny Glimpse

This is just a tiny glimpse into the top ten identified streamers so far. Please note that they are still under investigation (can be tracked in Exposed tab from the sidebar) and not all of them have been proven guilty.

The image above illustrates the relentless nature of this spam, with identical messages flooding chatrooms in rapid succession over hours at a time. It's evident with research into each streamer that they're spamming the same sequence of messages across multiple channels, often while they’re live streaming engaging with chat / gaming or completely AFK.

Why This Matters

Automated chat spamming deceives platforms, sponsors, and viewers by creating a false impression of engagement. It clogs chatrooms, drowns out genuine interactions, costs the platforms money, and unfairly promotes the spammers’ brands. Platforms like Kick and Twitch need to address this to protect their communities.
