Amouranth accuses YouTube of forcing her out after channel banned for no reason

Amouranth has gone on the offensive against YouTube, suggesting the titanic video platform is trying to force her away by cancelling her main channel on the site and at least one secondary profile despite neither having any strikes or bannable infractions.

The star entertainer, who streams on Kick and uploads her highlights and other content to YouTube, has been unable to access her main profile since early on Sept. 7. The page has been inaccessible for her streaming fans since a day or two earlier, when the channel appears to have been disabled. At the time of writing, trying to load up Amouranth’s primary YouTube page still brings up a 404 error code message that reads: “This page isn’t available.”

Amouranth’s no stranger to being banned on streaming sites, but this time, she says she was blindsided—especially because her YouTube channel, which boasted a million subscribers and more than 159 million video views, appears to have been blocked for no real reason.

“Hey YouTube,” the stunned star wrote on X (formerly Twitter) soon after she discovered the block on her uploads, “you deleted my main YouTube channel @Amouranth. It suddenly got removed without warning. There were no strikes or infractions… What’s next, you gonna take out my Gmail and search, thereby forcing me to use Bing?”

Much like Twitch, Google’s video website doesn’t share any specific reasons for suspensions. YouTube’s team has yet to respond to Amouranth’s public message.

This shock block comes several weeks after Amouranth’s ASMR-focused channel was banned late in August. At that time, the 30-year-old entertainer was told that page was terminated for hosting sexual content in its uploads. Whether these two bans are related is unclear.

One reason (which would link the two cancelled channels) may be found in YouTube’s long-standing terms of service: The Google-owned platform reserves the right to block any accounts it believes is trying to dodge prior suspensions. The system may have pinged Amouranth’s main account for that after the ASMR ban. YouTube didn’t immediately return a request for comment. It appears Amouranth hasn’t been contacted privately yet either.

After her ASMR channel ban, Amouranth declared she “regrets nothing.” Maybe she’s changed her tune on that front now that several more YouTube pages are gone.

Either way, she’s kept appearing on Kick since this latest ban like nothing happened.
