Nope you won't, best thing to do is to report him than ban him from your chat. The bot accounts will get banned or will unfollow you in about a week, and same for viewbotting. If you get asked you got so many viewers just tell the real reason (that someone is trolling you)
I'm used to this kind of toxicity since I stream 24/7 in the hot tub category lol

Whether you bought them yourself or not, you shouldn't get in trouble for having fake followers if it's not an amount that causes concern. Thousands of followers and you'd still be under the map, but, if you boosted your entire following to a noteworthy amount (50K+) then perhaps it would be investigated.

It is, however, never a good idea in the long run and only serves to hurt your profile. For every profile that bot follows you, that will be seen by the algorithm as a follower who is completely uninterested (as they won't engage or react to you at all) and that can become quite damaging to your place in the system.

So no, with such a small amount you won't get in trouble, but other than boosting your profiles follow number it will have only negative impacts and serve no beneficial purpose unless used properly as part of a marketing ploy.

If somebody really did that to you I'd advise going with the advice above mine. Just get the user out of your viewing and if anyone asks, tell them the truth about what happened.

i would never buy follows, but some guy did come in my chat and do that. and twitch shows the chat replay so if anything does happen they'll be able to see who did it
