Ludwig explains biggest mistake he\u2019s made with YouTube streams YouTube streamer Ludwig has explained the biggest mistake he made with his streams after switching to the platform from Twitch. Last year, Ludwig made a shocking move that nobody predicted. Despite being the most subscribed streamer ever on Twitch, the 27-year-old jumped ship to YouTube \u2014 signing an exclusive streaming deal. Ludwig has grown his audience massively since the switch, gaining millions of new subscribers to his YouTube channels. However, as it turns out it wasn\u2019t till recently he learned how to stream properly on the platform. Ludwig describes early streaming mistakes on YouTube During a recent episode of \u2018The Iced Coffee Hour\u2019 podcast, host Graham Stephan asked Ludwig about his move to YouTube last year, where he revealed he\u2019s only recently started to figure things out. \u201cI discovered recently that I don\u2019t know how to stream on YouTube,\u201d he admitted. \u201cI just figured it out this week because the entire time for the first 8 months I\u2019d been streaming as if I was on Twitch.\u201d Ludwig continued to explain the key differences between the two platforms: \u201cThe way that you stream on Twitch is you just have the most viewers in a certain game category and then you stay live for a really long time,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019ll build up a lot of dead viewers, people who just have you on their second monitor, they leave to work, go to bed or whatever and then you\u2019ll stay higher in the category and people always click at the top. And you\u2019ll just grow and grow and grow. \u201cDoesn\u2019t work like that on YouTube, or TikTok,\u201d he stated. \u201cThere are no categories, you don\u2019t go to a game you like and watch that game. You\u2019re fed a stream based on what the algorithm thinks you\u2019ll like. And so it\u2019s much more important to create a stream that has really good watch time and has a sense of urgency that makes people stick around.\u201d While he claims he\u2019s only recently figured out the secret behind the platform, evidently it doesn\u2019t exactly matter. Regardless, the streaming star has still managed to grow multiple businesses off the back of his streaming which earns him a staggering $25,000 a day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
