Kaitlyn Siragusa, or Amouranth as she is known to her millions of fans, has long been one of the most successful content creators on social media, with popular accounts on sites like Twitch and YouTube, as well as OnlyFans. However, with popularity comes pitfalls, and it seems that she has reached the point of being big enough to copy for cash, despite her efforts to protect her income.

Last night, she tweeted from her second, WildKait Twitter account about an issue negatively affecting her income, accusing Instagram of banning her, but allowing other accounts to upload her intellectual property and profit from it, while ignoring Amouranth’s requests to at least remove the copycat accounts if they won’t unban her.

She also highlighted the profitability of her intellectual property and public image, stating her OnlyFans account makes between $1.4m and $1.5m a month. She claims to have contacted Instagram on multiple occasions, only to be met with the response that because she is not an account holder (due to being banned by IG) she cannot prove they are her images, as she did not upload them to IG first.

Instagram staff blackmailed Amouranth 

According to Amouranth, Instagram's reasoning for removing her account from from the Facebook-owned site is that her original account was posting ‘nudity’, but they refuse to remove accounts uploading the same images despite requests from the creator to do so. Amouranth claims there may even be people involved with the fake sites and accounts at Instagram, allowing the counterfeit accounts to profit, or maybe even profiting from them themselves.

Amouranth’s problems with the Meta/Facebook group go back some time, with reporters writing about her being blackmailed by a member of Instagram’s moderation team back in 2019. Protection for creators in her line of work is traditionally not good, and sites like Instagram, reddit and others have been slow to catch up with the copyright demands of the digital age.
