MONTERREY, MEXICO: Despite her meteoric rise and seemingly unstoppable success, ASMR star Kaitlyn Siragusa, also known as Amouranth to her fans, has officially lost her spot as the second most popular female Twitch streamer. Even though she has been embroiled in various controversies and faced several fans, she continues to thrive on Twitch and earns millions with her other business ventures.
However, Mexican streamer AriGameplays has just replaced Amouranth as the second most popular female Twitch live stream, signaling potential competition for Amouranth's prized position. Let's know more about AriGameplays.
Who is AriGameplays?
AriGameplays has gained a lot of followers recently and has moved up the rankings to sit just behind Pokimane. This indicates that she may challenge both Amouranth and Pokimane for the top spot, giving the ASMR queen yet another female competitor. Her real name is Abril Abdamari Garza Alonso, and she is recognized for playing a variety of famous games, including Fortnite, Valorant, and Minecraft, hence her moniker. She is from Monterrey, Mexico, and she also frequently engages in "Just Chatting" and participates in prevalent internet challenges. She and Amouranth do share some traits in common, though. Both have been suspended due to pornographic material, and they frequently are known to flaunt their wealth. Not only this but also both women are currently married, although Ari has been much more public about it than Amouranth used to be up until recently.
In last month's Twitch statistics, Ari's follower count increased to 6.4 million, slightly trailing Pokimane's astounding 9.3 million and ahead of Amouranth's over 6 million. This was the first indication that Ari was overtaking Amouranth.
Amouranth was once the most-watched female streamer
According to 2022, Q2 viewership statistics for the streaming platform collected by StreamHatchet, Kaitlyn "Amouranth" Siragusa continued to beat out her competition like Pokimane as Twitch's top-viewed female streamer. During Q2 2022, 8.38 million hours were watched on Amouranth's channel, compared to only 4.53 million hours for Pokimane. She is likely moving ahead of the competition for a number of reasons. Amouranth's rise to stardom could have had some element of chance, but the strategies she uses to create her content are what have maintained her in the public eye. Amouranth's ability to stream continuously has helped her develop a devoted following, which is possibly the biggest advantage. According to TwitchMetrics, she streams for almost 70 hours a week, virtually every day, to an average of almost 9,000 viewers.
