Kaitlyn Siragusa, better known as Amouranth, a viral internet personality and streamer who has made her highly anticipated return to Twitch on June 20, 2025. Over the past two years, she earned a staggering $38 million on rival streaming platform Kick, becoming one of the most financially successful figures in online entertainment. Known for her bold mix of gaming, cosplay, ASMR, and real-life streams, Amouranth originally built her empire on Twitch before facing multiple bans and moving to other platforms. Her return signals both a personal comeback and a potential shift in the ongoing competition between streaming giants.
Amouranth’s rise to internet fame: From cosplay to controversy
Amouranth began her career as a cosplayer and model before joining Twitch in 2016, where she quickly gained massive popularity. Her streams combined gaming, audience interaction, and ASMR, attracting millions of viewers. She became especially known for her “hot tub” streams, a controversial Twitch subgenre that sparked widespread discussion. Despite facing repeated bans for pushing Twitch’s content boundaries, Amouranth remained a fan favorite and expanded her influence through various business ventures, including OnlyFans and merchandise. Her ability to adapt and innovate helped her become one of Twitch’s most successful and recognizable creators.
The Kick deal that changed everything
In 2023, following xQc’s headline-making $100 million deal with Kick, Amouranth joined the platform backed by crypto gambling site Stake. Though the details of her contract were not publicly disclosed, she confirmed that her income more than doubled compared to Twitch. Over two years, she reportedly made $38 million through Kick deals, merchandise sales, and content subscriptions.
Why she is returning to Twitch now
On June 19, 2025, Amouranth shared a playful teaser video on X (formerly Twitter) hinting at her comeback. In the video, she is seen refueling a green car with a Kick license plate before driving off in a purple vehicle — Twitch’s signature color. A cartoon screen flashes “$38 million later.” While it is not yet confirmed if she will stream exclusively on Twitch, her return has already stirred excitement among fans.
No YouTube comeback expected
Amouranth’s YouTube presence has declined sharply. Her main channel was banned for ban evasion, and her ASMR channel was removed for guideline violations. Given this history, she is not expected to include YouTube in her future content plans.
A top name in online entertainment
Even during her Kick run, Amouranth remained a widely recognized figure. She launched products, signed brand deals, and continued to grow her online presence. Her return to Twitch highlights her ongoing relevance and reflects the increasing competition among platforms to attract big names. As one of the most followed streamers in the world, Amouranth is poised to remain a dominant force in digital entertainment.
