When it comes to female streamers on Twitch, Imane “Pokimane” Anys has long been one of the most popular and recognized faces on the platform. So much so, in fact, that he was actually the best streamer on all of Twitch throughout 2020, by some measurements. However, if a new development for March is an indication of what might happen in the future, it looks like there could be a new queen on the streaming site in continued popularity.
According to new data from Stream Charts, Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa was the best female show of March 2021, defeating Pokimane who finished in second place. Amouranth accumulated 1.79 million hours of content viewed throughout the month, surpassing Pokimane which reached just under 1.77 million hours. However, Amouranth also transmitted much more than Pokimane did during the month, which seems to be the main reason why it got higher. Amouranth aired a total of 299 hours on Twitch in March, while Pokimane aired just over 93 hours.
It remains to be seen whether Amouranth will maintain this series throughout April, but its channel is certainly one that has grown a substantial amount in recent months. Part of this may be due to the fact that, compared to many other streamers, the Amouranth content on Twitch has a bit more variety. Whenever you tune in, you can see her playing video games, dancing, recording ASMR, or sleeping. Yes, Amouranth has even gotten into the habit of listening to herself sleeping sometimes and, believe it or not, viewers continue to watch thousands of streams.
At this point, it certainly seems that Pokimane still holds the title of being the most popular female streamer on Twitch, given how strong is the ratio of hours broadcast to hours watched. However, if Amouranth continues to grow its audience throughout 2021 in this way, it may become the next major streamer on the platform.
