news culture Amouranth is already back on Twitch, what happened?
Sixth ban for Kaitlyn Siragusa aka Amouranth. A short-lived suspension that once again underscores Twitch’s unclear policy on moderation and bans.
Despite Kaitlyn Siragusa (aka Amouranth) being the most-watched streamer of 2022 on Twitch, she’s not immune to having her account banned. Last week, the streaming platform suspended one of its leading personalities for 24 hours. But what happened? For now, Twitch’s initiative remains unclear. There is a theory floating around on Reddit about this type of streamer firing. It is based on the indirect competition between her and Adriana Chechik, which we told you about at the end of April.

In any case, this suspension is the sixth to affect Kaitlyn Siragusa. Inevitably, she comments on the potential content race between her and IndieFoxx: a content creator who was Amouranth’s biggest threat at the time, recently had her ban lifted for no apparent reason. Which is still a source of uncertainty and debate surrounding moderation on Twitch.
