It seems that social media star Amouranth is never too far away from controversy, usually kicking up a stir on the streaming platform, Twitch.
With over 6.4 million followers and over 2,600 subscribers, it’s reported that Amouranth (real name Kaitlyn Siragusa) makes around $100,000 per month on Twitch. Amouranth even once made $15,000 for sleeping, yes, really. Yet, that is a mere drop in the ocean when compared to her other financial incomes.

Still, Amouranth makes more money on Twitch alone than many of us could ever dream of. So surely, she’d never leave the platform to stream elsewhere, right? Well, that’s exactly what happened in June 2023, when Amouranth announced that she is leaving Twitch to join its fierce and upcoming rival, Kick for a not to be sniffed at fee believed to be in the $30 to $40 million ballpark.
Amouranth is not the only recent Twitch streamer to jump ship, because xQc also joined the Kick platform in a deal said to be worth up to a whopping $100 million.
Up until this point, Twitch hasn't responded to losing two of its stars, that was until this week. As reported by Dexerto, Amouranth has been banned from Twitch, just two weeks after joining its rival. However, at this point, no detailed reason has been given for the ban. It’s perhaps also worth keeping in mind that at the time of writing, xQc’s Twitch account still remains operational. Make of that what you will.
Not being banned for the first time, Amouranth’s Twitch channel currently reads: “This channel is temporarily unavailable due to a violation of Twitch’s Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.”
It remains to be seen if Amouranth’s Twitch ban will be lifted at some point or whether xQc will also receive a ban in the near future. Only time will tell.
