YouTube banned the main and personal channels of controversial streamer Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa and fans wonder why she was banned and if she’ll be back.
Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa is a cosplayer turned streamer who is regularly in the limelight for her controversial content. While she streams on multiple platforms, Twitch has banned her 10 times due to her risque content. This time instead of being in trouble with Twitch, the streamer has found herself at odds with YouTube.
Amouranth was recently in the news when YouTube banned her ASMR channel, but that wasn’t the end of the story. The streamer took to X to announce that YouTube has banned her main and personal channels. Now, fans wonder why she was banned and whether it is permanent.
Why was Amouranth banned from YouTube?
It is unclear why Amouranth was banned, claiming her main and personal channels were removed without any strikes or infractions.
Amouranth posted on X to announce the termination of her channels. The streamer claimed YouTube removed her main channel without any warning or previous moderation. Additionally, Amouranth claimed her personal channel was never used for posting content, stating she only used it for her YouTube Premium subscription.
Amouranth used to post vlogs on her main YouTube channel. The streamer might have posted something that went against the guidelines, but the complete deplatforming of Amouranth from YouTube suggests something larger. It’s unclear what could have led to YouTube completely removing her.
According to YouTube’s guidelines, the termination email contains the reason the channel was terminated. The guidelines also prohibit users from “circumventing their termination.” The termination of Amouranth’s ASMR channel may have prompted her other channels to be removed, but her tweets suggest her removal may be a mystery.
Is Amouranth banned permanently from YouTube?
Amouranth’s channels can likely return if she appeals their termination but it is unclear whether she has the grounds for an appeal.
Amouranth can appeal the terminations of her channels if she can prove that they were wrongfully removed. However, she didn’t share the exact reason for her channel’s termination so it is unclear whether the terminations can be appealed.
However, the popular streamer will likely not need to wait for an appeal. Amouranth tagged Team YouTube on her X post when her ASMR channel was terminated. Team YouTube replied that the termination was per guidelines. They may reply again publicly since Amouranth has tagged them in her post. However, no YouTube spokesperson has publicly reached out yet.
