It seems like no matter what kinds of streams Amouranth does, she'll have an audience. This is perhaps best exemplified by the fact that Twitch introduced a new streaming category earlier this week and the controversial but popular internet personality was at the top of its charts despite it being intended for putting animals on display.
The new category, "Animals, Aquariums, and Zoos," is full of static cameras giving wholesome looks at just that, allowing viewers to watch animals like sea otters or ducks splash around zoos and enjoy their days. However, Kaitlyn "Amouranth" Siragusa went live in the Twitch category and was its most popular stream by far, boasting more than 8,000 viewers while the second most popular channel in the category, DuckvilleUSA, had only 1,500.
Amouranth's stream wasn't completely out of left field, however, as she's been doing ranch streams for several months at this point and her entry into "Animals, Aquariums, and Zoos" featured another such stream of her taking care of horses in a stable. The popular streamer usually resides in other "IRL" categories like "Just Chatting," "ASMR," and, perhaps her most popular, "Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches," so the departure into Twitch's newest category might be a sign that more ranch streams are coming in the future.
"Animals, Aquariums, and Zoos" hasn't currently made much of a splash in Twitch as a whole yet as its most popular streams, outside of Amouranth's ranch stream, are barely breaking 2,000 viewers each, but the category is still new, so there's still plenty of time for it to pick up in popularity. It's likely to see more traffic as the week progresses and as viewers get more time for watching streams over the weekend. Having a popular personality like Amouranth bring more people to the category will also likely give it a boost in its early days.
Amouranth was recently banned from Twitch for her fifth time before being unbanned three days later for seemingly no reason, according to her. She's no stranger to butting heads with the site's content policies, but with the additions of categories like "ASMR" and "Pools, Hot Tubs, and Beaches," she's been able to stream unhindered by the site's moderators for over a year before running into an issue in early October. Hopefully, "Animals, Aquariums, and Zoos" gives the content creator a new space to stream that keeps her out of the ever-watching eye of the "banhammer."
