The Twitch ban drama is taking a whole different stage as the streaming queen herself is getting caught in its crosshair. Amouranth is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch with around 6.4 million followers. Each of her streams ropes in thousands of viewers as well. To some extent, we can state that she is the face of the streaming platform’s ASMR and Just Chatting content.
But all these did not come as an aid to the star in Twitch’s recent decision. With all these thoughts in mind, will Kick rope in yet another marquee Twitch partner amidst the ongoing drama?

Kick has been creating waves since its inception. With concepts like lenient revenue sharing and freedom, Kick is putting itself as an apt rival for the blue platform. First, they roped in ex-Twitch stars like Adin Ross, and are aiming to increase their creator pool with popular figures. Amidst this poaching, Amouranth was banned on the Twitch platform. It is not the first time Amo is getting banned on the platform.

But just like in old times, Twitch lifted Amouranth’s ban within no time. They restricted the ASMR queen from the platform for 1 day and four hours. Though it seems that Amouranth resumed streaming soon after the ban got lifted., Kick took this as an opportunity.

They took the shade at this Twitch ban drama to indicate how the popular streaming platform treats its partners. They pointed out the case of Amouranth, who was hesitant about migrating to Kick, and how her decision to stick with the purple platform affected her.
The new streaming competitor did not stop there. Kick took a snippet from BruceDropEmOff, in which he was talking in praise of the Twitch platform. We all know what happened later. Twitch went on to ban the streamer from the streaming platform shortly after.

Interestingly, during the last two weeks, this is not the first time Twitch is banning their top stars. Earlier, Kai Cenat, the subathon record holder, also faced a similar debacle. Though like Amouranth, that too reached its inevitable conclusion quickly. But, these bans sure are getting the attention of Kick, who are ready to poach these talented stars to their side.
As for now, from the exclusive interview Amouranth gave to EssentiallySports, she is not ready to go exclusive on Kick.
Fans think it’s the right time for Amo to jump ships
Kick’s post got quite a lot of attention from the netizens. The majority of fans wanted Amouranth to jump ships and find a new base on Kick.

Moreover, some others were mocking Twitch and its banning decisions. Quite a few netizens were also not very pleased with Amouranth’s take on Kick.
Amo at the time of writing, is streaming yet again on Twitch for her fans. She was conducting her popular pool stream and discussing certain ideas with her chat. A popular concept that we might get to see become a reality in Amo’s stream is a themed party that she is planning. The star will share more details in her upcoming streams.
