Amouranth is now the second most prominent streamer to join Kick after xQc's million-dollar deal

HOUSTON, TEXAS: It seems that Kaitlyn Siragusa aka Amouranth has already become the new queen of her new streaming destination Kick. After cutting ties with Twitch, the 29-year-old ASMR streamer will now drop content for the TrainwrecksTV-backed platform. Not only this, but Amouranth is now the second most prominent streamer to join Kick after xQc's million-dollar deal.

For the unversed, xQc recently signed a 2-year non-exclusive deal worth a whopping $100 million with Kick. On the other hand, from landing multi-million dollar deals to investing her money in the right companies, Amouranth has done it all. Furthermore, it seems that she has bought all of her fans to Kick.

Is Amouranth the new queen of 'Kick'?

Amouranth has shown unbelievable numbers on her new streaming platform in the few days of her Kick streaming. She and xQc both have come out on top of the Trainwreck-backed portal. Amouranth has topped the female streamers ranking on Kick with 11,000 peak viewers, according to recent stats by Streams Chart report on Twitter. She also outperforms the second-place streamer in terms of peak views by a factor of more than two. Amouranth has been on the air for a total of 21 hours and 5 minutes to reach this number. Alina Rose and Sasha Grey are just some of the female Kick streamers she left behind.

The account mentioned on Twitter, "Top Female @KickStreaming Streamers in last 7 days: @Amouranth @thedandangler@alinaa_rose9 @actuallyangell_ @SashaGrey @isbubucream @Riiasya @blonderabb1 @ilikefoodmanym1 @woodbabeee."

Why did the 'ASMR' queen quit Twitch?

For 2021 and 2022 in a row, Amouranth was the most-watched female streamer on Twitch. Therefore, her decision to join Kick has undoubtedly given the platform an advantage against Twitch. Additionally, Twitch is in trouble because of criticism they have received for their severe moderation policies against streamers. Amouranth recently criticized the site, pointing out that it lacked a viable business plan.

She earlier expressed that Twitch’s “sin” isn’t trying to squeeze their creators. She wrote on Twitter, "Their sin is making a business model that doesn’t succeed except maybe at YouTube scale, but live streaming is a much smaller TAM than pre-recorded video (esp when tiktok won the ultra short form streams)." Amouranth also suggested that Twitch must either find ways to expand its creators' available market or in other ways may develop more effective methods of monetizing content, as the current strategies are falling short.
