Amouranth explains why she won\u2019t quit Twitch as long as she still has haters Twitch\/AmouranthKaitlyn \u2018Amouranth\u2019 Siragusa has declared that as long as she still has haters who try bringing her down, she won\u2019t quit Twitch streaming, explaining they give her \u201cboundless energy\u201d to create content and prove them all wrong. Amouranth finished last year as the undisputed queen of Twitch, raking in 203m views, hitting 4.9m followers, and claiming her place on the platform\u2019s throne. Plenty of her views, she concedes, were \u201chaters.\u201d But, the stream-queen continues, that\u2019s more than okay \u2014 those same Twitch haters hovering around \u201cwaiting for [her] to fail\u201d are the same ones that push her to keep streaming every day, motivating her to do better. As long as they exist, Amouranth explains, she will never retire. \u201cI will never burnout,\u201d she declared, \u201cbecause my detractors are infinitely petty with their remarks, and the drive to prove them wrong is a renewable energy source.\u201d Amouranth made the Twitch declaration on January 4, posting her promise \u2014 to stay streaming as long as she has haters \u2014 on Twitter on her @wildkait account. \u201cMy boundless energy comes from the compulsion to prove my haters wrong,\u201d she said, before pointing out that nearly every hater claiming she\u2019s going to fail is nothing more than \u201cpetty and sniping\u201d man-children online. \u201cGrowing up relatively impoverished and then finding success on the internet, but having every single troll tell me to \u2018enjoy it while it lasts\u2019 because when I turn 30 (and the money slows), I\u2019m liable to go broke, [it] gave me such a depression-era mentality I took a long time to get over. \u201cReally though,\u201d the Twitch star continued, directly addressing those advocating for her to leave streaming, \u201cthe outcome, in reality, is diametrically opposed.\u201d There is one thing that has worried Amouranth recently, however \u2014 as her Twitch star continues to rise, so too do the \u201cdangers\u201d of streaming to millions of fans. \u201cI don\u2019t hate what I do, or how much I do it,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s the harassment. The unwarranted danger that comes from when I\u2019m just doing my own thing. All women creators get varying degrees of harassment, but being live exposes you to the most extreme form of said persecution.\u201d And, when the time does eventually come for Siragusa to hang up the mics, deflate the pools, and leave the \u201cAmouranth\u201d persona behind, she\u2019s ready; the 28-year-old has bought a gas station, a 7-Eleven, and raked up stocks. \u201cI plan to grind as long and as hard as I can,\u201d she said, \u201cuntil either, it doesn\u2019t make sense anymore, or at some point, passive income overtakes active income.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
