Amouranth's YouTube Channel Has Been Banned

Key Takeaways

  • Amouranth’s main YouTube channel was banned abruptly, causing her to take to social media.
  • Amouranth has been banned from Twitch multiple times, but YouTube bans may last.
  • The reason for Amouranth’s main YouTube channel ban is unclear, possibly linked to prior ASMR channel ban.

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can’t help but feel a tinge of sympathy for Amouranth, who seems to be having a run of bad luck with video streaming platforms. The sudden ban on her main YouTube channel, without any prior warning, is reminiscent of a virtual game glitch that leaves you stranded in the middle of nowhere.

Amouranth’s primary YouTube channel was suddenly removed from the platform, a decision that appears to have been made by YouTube without prior notice. This is what Amouranth claims on their social media accounts.

Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa’s relationship with bans has been ongoing for quite some time, primarily affecting her Twitch account. Most of these bans haven’t persisted for long. Interestingly, Amouranth has faced at least ten Twitch bans, with a few occurring within a mere three-day period. Although the Twitch bans were temporary, the recent YouTube bans could potentially be permanent.

Amouranth’s primary YouTube channel is no longer accessible on the platform; instead, it displays a 404 error and no longer offers her original videos for viewing. This unexpected ban occurred without any prior notice, as stated by Amouranth herself. Unhappy with this development, she expressed her discontent on Twitter to the official TeamYouTube account. She claims that both her public and private viewing accounts have been banned from the site. She speculates that her Gmail account might be targeted next, questioning whether Google (the parent company) is attempting to push her towards Bing. At this point, no official response has been given by YouTube channels regarding her complaint.

This Isn’t Amouranth’s First YouTube Ban

At the tail-end of August, Amouranth’s ASMR channel was taken down from YouTube. She attempted to contact YouTube support regarding this matter, but was told that her channel had been deliberately closed due to inappropriate sexual content. Initially, she appeared unfazed, stating “I regret nothing,” but since losing her larger channel with over a million subscribers and almost 500 videos, it appears her feelings have changed. Unlike Twitch, YouTube is generally firm on its bans, especially when they aren’t the result of an error.

Currently, it’s unclear exactly why her primary YouTube account was suspended. Some theories suggest that having multiple accounts might appear as an attempt to bypass a previous ASMR channel ban, which goes against YouTube’s Terms of Service. However, her main channel has been active for several years, so creating a new one to reupload ASMR content seems unlikely. YouTube also retains the power to restrict monetization if a content creator breaches its Creator Responsibility policy, considering off-site behavior as well, like what happened with Dr Disrespect’s account following allegations of improper conduct with a minor. Yet, given that all her accounts have been banned, this may not be the cause.

Ultimately, Amouranth has the ability to thrive using the remaining platforms, even amidst any frustrations she might be experiencing. Given her dedicated fanbase, they are likely to find and engage with her content wherever it is hosted, much like they have with Amouranth’s Kick streams.
