Twitch Has Banned Amouranth Again
27.01.2024 - 18:09 / gamerant.com / Rahman Shaukat
The popular streaming platform Twitch has recently issued its eighth ban to Amouranth, a well-known streamer boasting over 6 million followers. Surprisingly, the community's reaction has taken a light and humorous tone. Many members express a prevailing belief that Amouranth's return to Twitch will be swift, giving rise to playful banter and jokes about the expected predictability of her reappearance on the platform.
It is widely known that Twitch maintains strict enforcement of policies and does not hesitate to take action against those who violate community guidelines, irrespective of their popularity. In recent months, this commitment to policy enforcement has resulted in the banning of several notable figures, including Knut (277,000 followers), Morgpie (304,000 followers), ExtraEmily (264,000 followers), and others. While some streamers face severe consequences such as permanent bans for violating Twitch's community guidelines, most of the time, Twitch imposes temporary bans that last for a specific number of days, depending on the severity of the violated guidelines.
Renowned streamer Amouranth is the latest to face another one of her Twitch bans, with was imposed on 27th January. This is Amouranth's 8th ban from the platform overall, with the longest one lasting for just 3 days. She also faced a total of two bans last year, though both were lifted after mere a day. The reason behind the current ban currently remains unknown, and she has yet to make any comment regarding it.
The news of Amouranth's recent ban on Twitch stirred a diverse range of reactions within the online community, as some took a more light-hearted approach, making jokes about the frequency of her suspensions. For instance, one person humorously remarked that she's been banned more times than they've had school dinners. Another user playfully speculated that, based how fast Amouranth returns from Twitch bans, she might be unbanned soon, either tomorrow or within a maximum of three days. Additionally, there was a hint of mild disbelief from a viewer who commented on the fact that she's faced eight bans and is still a Twitch partner.
While the duration of this Twitch ban remains uncertain, her fans might not feel the absence too keenly, given her presence on Twitch's rival streaming platform, Kick.com. Amouranth signed her Kick deal in June of the previous year and quickly became the most-watched female streamer on that platform. Although the exact details of Amouranth's Kick deal are undisclosed, she later revealed that the partnership significantly boosted her income, effectively «doubling» it.
