6. Amouranth (Twitch)
Amouranth is well-known for her contentious hot tub videos, ASMR feeds, and other sensual endeavors on Twitch. The streamer was briefly barred from the Amazon-owned streaming site after gaining over 6.3 million followers.

7. Kai Cenat (Twitch and YouTube)
On April 18, Twitch streamer Kai Cenat was banned, and there is justification for this. The 21-year-old Kai Cenat just won Streamer of the Year at the Streamer Awards 2023 after achieving phenomenal growth on Twitch in the previous year and being the platform's most subscribed content producer.
Even though the purple Nikes Cenat got from Twitch in recognition of his new status looked to be a letdown to the broadcaster, the shoes were engraved with the phrase 'King of Twitch.'
The Bronx native was a high earner, but that did not shield him from the ban hammer, and on April 18, Kai Cenat found himself abruptly and temporarily banished off the site.
