Yeah that's one reason Twitch doesn't ban channels that get botted. They don't know who is actually paying for the bots, the streamer themselves or somebody who hates them and wants them to get into a botting controversy.

For instance the people botting discourse on Twitter don't always bot their own accounts, they bot random people ideologically aligned with them. It makes them think the support is organic and double down.

Normies see the benefits of supporting the prevailing ideology, all they see is the rewards and incentives and they assume everybody who isn't taking the free money/attention is an idiot who doesn't understand how it works.
