Ludwig hit with shock YouTube ban just days after big move Twitch: LudwigLudwig has been suspended on YouTube just days after leaving his original streaming home Twitch to join the Google-owned giant, with many speculating the shock ban came as a result of DMCA strikes. The 26-year-old has been the talk of the streaming world these past few days, after he signed an exclusive streaming deal with Twitch arch-rivals YouTube. While Ludwig\u2019s first stream went swimmingly, the ever-rising star appears to have hit a roadblock less than 72 hours into his big swap: midway through his December 2 broadcast, Ahgren was slapped with a YouTube suspension, due to \u201cpolicy violations\u201d from one of his first streams. The star\u2019s channel is still accessible, for now, but he can no longer go live. Ludwig already addressed his YouTube suspension too, with a hilarious response. He joked on Twitter, \u201cYou could say the switch has been going well.\u201d you could say the switch has been going well\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/dnkjSUkT0o \u2014 ludwig (@LudwigAhgren) December 3, 2021 More than 20,000 fans were watching the new YouTuber live when he was blindsided by the ban. Ahgren\u2019s first stream was watched by more than 680,000 viewers, and he has raked in over 80k new subscribers since Tuesday\u2019s big reveal, firing his channel to 2.17m in total. At the time of the \u201cpolicy violation\u201d Ludwig was watching other YouTube videos, reacting to streamer news, and interacting with his fans and chatters. Watch Ludwig\u2019s ban from 1:35:14 in video below (NB: currently disabled). Why was Ludwig banned on YouTube? The star\u2019s December 2 ban has already sparked major speculation, mainly about why he was stripped of streaming privileges. Many are assuming Ludwig over-stepped YouTube\u2019s DMCA line when he played several Cocomelon and Pinkfong children\u2019s music videos, including viral hit \u201cBaby Shark.\u201d The 26-year-old has since confirmed this is indeed the reason behind the ban. \u201cOnly two days on YouTube and I got banned from streaming,\u201d he laughed. \u201cWhat happened was I was trying to look at the top fifty greatest vintage YouTube videos. Along the way, I ended up listening to a few seconds of Baby Shark, which\u2026 I won\u2019t dare listen to again. \u201cI\u2019m pretty sure the corporate overlords that own Baby Shark have an iron fist on YouTube, and so they took me down. Not in this car!\u201d \u201cOkay, it looks like DMCA may be a little more of a concern than I originally had imagined,\u201d he continued. \u201cI thought what would happen is because of YouTube\u2019s robust content ID system, they\u2019d flag it, take the monetization from the stream. Baby Shark doesn\u2019t work like that though.\u201d \u201cIt is crazy,\u201d he added. \u201cIn four years on Twitch, I never got banned.\u201d There has been no confirmation regarding when Ludwig\u2019s ban will end, however.
