Amouranth responds to claims she gets Twitch bans on purpose Instagram\/AmouranthTwitch\u2019s most-watched female streamer, Amouranth, has been accused in the past of deliberately provoking bans from the platform, but she denies this actually being a strategy any streamer would employ. For most streamers, receiving a ban from Twitch is a constant fear they try their best to avoid \u2014 but there\u2019s no denying that there are some benefits to getting suspended. The ban hammer weighs heavy over the heads of broadcasters, ready to strike down for any infraction (or perceived infraction) of Twitch\u2019s community guidelines. For Kaitlyn \u2018Amouranth\u2019 Siragusa, it has meted out justice on her channel on a number of occasions, for a variety of reasons. However, in 2021, she was the platform\u2019s most popular female streamer, and her Twitch career is as successful as ever \u2013 so is a ban really that bad? The argument can be made that being banned brings streamers, big or small, lots of attention, particularly if the ban is controversial or for a peculiar reason. As most bans are not indefinite, the \u2018return\u2019 or \u2018comeback\u2019 stream often gets inflated viewership too. Amouranth has acknowledged this too, showing the boost in searches about her after her third ban back in 2019. It’s literally impossible to predict what will blow up on the internet. This banning drama has made me more relevant that everything I’ve ever done combined.

Each ban is immensely stressful, and I never know if it\u2019ll be my last,\u201d she said, and with a total of five bans on record, a sixth could indeed be indefinite. \u201cIt\u2019s a fun narrative people like to push,\u201d Siragusa continued, \u201cbut it\u2019s just not true. I don\u2019t want to be banned \u2014 even for a day,\u201d she told The Gamer. As well as her content creation, Amouranth is an accomplished businesswoman, with various investments and business ownership, including a pool toy company and gas station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
