Amouranth has accused YouTube of having 'deleted' her 'main channel' alongside her 'personal' account too.
Kick streamer and content creator Amouranth - real name Kaitlyn Siragusa - is no stranger to coming to blows with certain social media platforms.
Earlier this year, she was banned from Twitch for the eighth time and in August, her ASMR YouTube channel - on which she'd amassed over 700,000 subscribers - was taken down for sexual content.
And the 30-year-old has since spoken out after her main YouTube channel - with reportedly over one million subscribers - was 'removed without warning' too.

On August 20, Amouranth took to her Twitter account to call out YouTube for 'removing' her whole ASMR channel 'without warning' after she uploaded a video 'just brushing the mic with a paintbrush'.
TeamYouTube's Twitter account responded: "Sorry to hear this! A single case of severe abuse (such as predatory behaviour, spam, or pornography) can lead to channel termination without a warning. Mind sharing your channel URL so we can check on it?"
After the content creator shared the link to her ASMR page, TeamYouTube resolved: "Update: our policy team confirmed the termination was correct. you can read through this article for more info on the Nudity & Sexual Content policy that led to this decision appreciate your understanding of our need to make this tough call."
Amouranth responded by sharing coverage of the incident, resolving: "To sum it all up, I must say that I regret nothing."
However, it would appear the drama is far from over yet.
Taking to her Twitter once again earlier today (September 6), Amouranth revealed her 'main YT channel' has since been 'removed' too.
Tagging TeamYouTube she accused: "You deleted my main YT channel @amouranth It suddenly got removed without warning.
"There were no strikes or infractions. You also at the same name (in the same notice email) deleted my personal YouTube channel that I don’t make content on - it just has a YouTube premium subscription…
"What’s next you gonna take out my gmail and search thereby forcing me to use bing?"
YouTube's Twitter account has yet to respond, however, it has a page on 'channel or account terminations' on its site.
The page states: "If your channel is terminated, you will get an email explaining the reason for the termination. If your YouTube channel is terminated, you are prohibited from circumventing the termination - or allowing others to use your channel to bypass their termination - by using or creating any other YouTube channels.
"This applies to all of your existing channels, any new channels you create or acquire, and any channels in which you are repeatedly or prominently featured.
"Participants of the YouTube Partner Program are no longer entitled to earn any revenue if their channel is terminated. We may also withhold unpaid earnings and refund advertisers or viewers for purchases where appropriate and possible."
Reasons for channel or account termination included 'repeated violations,' 'a single case of severe abuse' or 'dedication to a policy violation'.
