Amouranth is a household name on Amazon’s live streaming platform. With over six million Twitch followers (and millions more on Instagram and YouTube), Amouranth is by far the most well-known female creator of the purple streamer, alongside Imane “Pokimane” Anys. She’s been in hot water before, particularly for regularly streaming in skimpy bikinis, but that hasn’t stopped her from ranking high on Twitch. Despite received some bans in the past which didn’t last more than a few days, Amouranth continues to attract thousands of down-and-out viewers.

Unfortunately, her main channel is not currently available on Twitch.
Amouranth’s twitch ban appears to be temporary for now
