Amouranth risks Kick ban for \u201ctwerking\u201d on stream after platform prohibited it Twitter: Amouranth \/ KickTwitch star Kaitlyn \u2018Amouranth\u2019 Siragusa announced her move to Kick on June 18, but less than a month later, some are suggesting she ought to face a suspension, for breaching community guidelines by \u201ctwerking\u201d on stream. Kick is the new rival to Twitch, and, like others before it, is trying to take a piece of the livestreaming pie by signing big-name stars from the Amazon-owned platform. So far, this has included xQc, Destiny, and Amouranth. Amouranth, Twitch\u2019s most-watched female streamer, has also been one of its most controversial \u2013 previously issued bans on numerous occasions. Although some view Kick as more lenient regarding community guidelines, there are still rules about what content is allowed. Amouranth potentially breaches Kick guidelines One of these rules on Kick prohibits \u201csexually suggestive content\u201d \u2013 which includes \u201cErotic or sexually suggestive dancing or gestures.\u201d On Jul 16, Amouranth was performing a DJ set for her stream, when she began \u2018twerking\u2019 as the song lyrics said \u201chands on your knees\u201d. Some viewers claimed this would be a breach of these guidelines, with the clip reposted to Reddit, with the title: \u201cKick TOS: twerking is bannable. Amouranth:\u201d Back in April, Eddie Craven, the co-founder of Kick, explicitly mentioned that \u201ctwerking\u201d is against the platform\u2019s rules, although specifically when done in exchange for \u201csubs\/money.\u201d At the time of writing, Amouranth\u2019s channel on Kick remains intact. Despite only moving there last month, her account has cross the 100,000 follower mark already. Her average viewership in the past 30 days on Kick is actually higher than Twitch too, at 11,282 on Kick vs 6,538 on Twitch. Amouranth is also opting to stream on Kick much more, which could be due to higher revenue, thanks to the 95% sub split for streamers, as opposed to Twitch\u2019s 50\/50 split.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
