Amouranth admits she\u2019s considered quitting Twitch over hot tub, ASMR abuse Twitter\/AmouranthKaitlyn \u2018Amouranth\u2019 Siragusa revealed that she considered quitting Twitch after being harassed over her controversial hot tub and ASMR streams but ultimately decided to stay. Amouranth has been vocal about the \u201cironic\u201d criticism she received over her latest Twitch ban, and it\u2019s not only viewers condemning her streams. Some of the biggest names on the platform, including Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel and Jaryd \u2018Summit1g\u2019 Lazar, slammed the ASMR meta in general, which she helped popularize. But despite the brave front, she revealed that she\u2019d received lots of hostility and harassment from viewers behind the scenes. It almost drove her to the point where she considered quitting the platform for good. She opened up about it in an interview with Polygon and explained what convinced her to stay and how she copes with it. \u201cI have thought about it \u2014 like, is it worth it?\u201d she said. But she reminded herself that \u201cevery job has stuff that isn\u2019t peachy-keen perfect.\u201d For example, \u201cif you\u2019re in retail, you have to deal with annoying Karens all day.\u201d \u201cDo I feel like I deserve [the harassment]? No, I don\u2019t think anyone does,\u201d she added. \u201cBut I do feel it\u2019s worth it just to keep grinding while I\u2019m young and have the energy, and then when I\u2019m older and have saved enough money, I can actually do what I want with it.\u201d Amouranth described her approach as \u201cfrontloading\u201d the work rather than spreading it throughout her life. \u201cI think that\u2019s worth the harassment,\u201d she said. And that\u2019s what ultimately convinced her to stick it out. As for what she plans to do with the money eventually, Amouranth revealed that her \u201cpassion\u201d is animals, and once she\u2019s done \u201csaving money\u201d and \u201cmilking\u201d it from her streams, she plans to start an animal rescue program. So, it seems like it\u2019s all going according to plan for Amouranth, even if the perpetual harassment is difficult to bear at times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
