Amouranth Claims YouTube Is Targeting Her: Channel Shut Down For No Reason

by

As a long-time follower and supporter of Amouranth‘s content, I find it incredibly disheartening to witness yet another unexpected ban from a major platform. Having closely followed her journey, I can attest to her dedication, creativity, and genuine connection with her audience.

Starting from September 7, Amouranth’s primary profile has been offline. Prior to this, her streaming audience encountered an issue when the channel was unexpectedly deactivated a day or two earlier.
