Why was Amouranth banned from Twitch? Streamer kicked out for the 6th time

Kaitlyn 'Amouranth' Siragusa, a popular Twitch streamer recognized for her controversial hot tub streams and other ventures, has been banned for the sixth time in her streaming career and her first time since 2021 from the Amazon-owned streaming platform, Twitch. The sudden announcement of her temporary ban from Twitch took the internet by surprise, prompting a variety of opinions from other users.

Recently, she engaged in a heated exchange on stream with fellow female streamer Adriana Chechik and even challenged her to a boxing match. Although Amouranth has an official bout coming up in Madrid on July 1, it is unclear whether her argument with Chechik was a promotional tactic for the event or a genuine disagreement. Despite this, Amouranth's ban raises questions about how it might impact her plans for the match, if at all.

Twitch suspends Amouranth for the sixth time

With over 6.4 million subscribers on her Twitch channel, Amouranth is one of the platform's most successful content creators. However, her content, which includes a hot tub and ASMR streams, has become one of the most controversial trends on Twitch.

Due to the mature nature of the content, hot tub and ASMR streams have garnered a negative reputation on Twitch, often being criticized as soft-core pornography. Furthermore, the streams have deviated from Twitch's original niche of gaming streams, making the platform's inconsistent enforcement of its guidelines more apparent.

The hot tub and ASMR streamers' content often walks a thin line between acceptable and a violation of Twitch's community guidelines, leaving many puzzled as to how such videos remain on the platform. While Twitch may suspend some hot tub streamers for inappropriate attire or nudity, these bans tend to be brief, lasting no longer than a week.

Adding to the confusion, viewers can easily find hundreds of streams that violate the same rules at any given time, yet the creators behind them don't receive bans. Amouranth, a seasoned Twitch partner since 2019, has faced her fair share of suspensions, having received five separate bans before Twitch's May 4th decision. Nonetheless, none of her previous bans have exceeded three days.

Fans react to Amouranth's latest ban on Twitch

Following the announcement of Amouranth's recent ban on Twitch, fans promptly took to platforms like Twitter to express their reactions. One Twitter user commented, "All of you simps got to find out who to watch since Amouranth has been banned from Twitch 😂." Another user expressed what they think might be the reason for Amouranth's ban, "She posted on someone's youtube comments that she wanted to fight them. They are also a twitch streamer. Per Twitch TOS Threatning violence is against TOS an thats prob why she got banned." One user stated, "Banned or not she still gon' make money off you mfs." While one user expressed their concern by saying, "Sorry you got banned queen."
