When I fetch my following list through Helix, it reports I’m following user ID 29325630. However, if I request the user info for this ID, I get back an empty list (zero total and empty data array). I can still get the other users following this one, and even this user’s follows, but not anything with the name, etc.
This shows I’m following:
https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/follows?from_id=44327716&to_id=29325630
{"total":1,"data":[{"from_id":"44327716","to_id":"29325630","followed_at":"2013-11-08T18:27:46Z"}],"pagination":{"cursor":"eyJiIjpudWxsLCJhIjoiIn0"}}
No data for the user:
https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users?id=29325630
{"data":[]}
The mystery user follows Werster:
https://api.twitch.tv/helix/users/follows?from_id=29325630
{"total":1,"data":[{"from_id":"29325630","to_id":"21534457","followed_at":"2013-02-25T04:05:58Z"}],"pagination":{"cursor":"eyJiIjpudWxsLCJhIjoiMTM2MTc2NTE1ODU3NzQ5ODAwMCJ9"}}
Kraken v5 can’t show me the info either:
https://api.twitch.tv/kraken/users/44327716/follows/channels?offset=105&limit=1
{"_total":135,"follows":[]}
Even the main site tells me I’m following 135 but only shows 134:

If the user were banned or deleted, I’d expect the follow metadata to be correspondingly deleted or suppressed.
