Twitch/xQc/AmouranthTwitch star Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa has suggested French-Canadian streaming sensation Felix ‘xQx’ Lengyel was only critical of the hot tub meta because it distracted from his own controversy on the platform.
Hot tub, ASMR ear-licking and gambling streams have all been criticized in the past year, albeit for different reasons. While the likes of Indiefoxx, Amouranth and xoAeriel were seeing explosive growth in hot tubs, xQc and Trainwrecks were stirring a pot of their own by playing slots with tons of money on the line. As viewers and influencers hit out at the hot tub meta for sexualizing Twitch, the gambling streams continued, which, according to Amouranth is exactly what xQc wanted and why he vocally opposed the content. Amouranth took aim at xQc’s hot tub stream criticism, explaining how he benefited from all the controversy that it caused. https://twitter.com/wildkait/status/1410137730286297090 “The reason xQc liked ripping on hot tubs was because it took attention away from the gamba stuff,” she said with a laughing emoji face. “I took one for the team. You know glass houses and such.” Amouranth actually had her entire channel demonetized by Twitch during the hot tub meta due to advertiser concerns. Eventually, ads were reinstated, but only after Twitch created a new category strictly for beaches, pools and hot tub broadcasts. The cosplayer and model went on to hint that she too might be getting involved in gambling streams as well at some point.
