Ludwig explains why he left Twitch in shock YouTube move YouTube: Mogul MailStreaming star Ludwig \u2018Ludwig\u2019 Ahgren stunned the internet when he revealed that he\u2019d be swapping Twitch for YouTube after three years. Now, he\u2019s explained his reasons behind the move. Over the last few years, it\u2019s become pretty commonplace to see streamers swapping platforms in big-money deals. On November 29, Ludwig \u2013 who had been with Twitch for three years \u2013 dropped a bombshell that not many saw coming, as he revealed that he\u2019d be swapping the Amazon-owned platform for YouTube. With Ludwig being so attached to Twitch, the move genuinely stunned many fans, who quickly quipped about how much money he\u2019d be making. However, that\u2019s not his only reason for the move \u2013 even if he is getting a big deal from YouTube. Ludwig explains his YouTube switch In his \u2018Why I left Twitch\u2019 explanation, the streaming star noted that he was initially using YouTube as leverage for his next Twitch contract. \u201cI\u2019m a Twitch guy, there are people out there who think of Twitch and think of me,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen I think of my own identity, I think of Twitch!\u201d However, as he held more talks and thought about it, YouTube just started to make more sense, but he wasn\u2019t entirely sure. \u201cLike, I love streaming,\u201d Ludwig added. \u201cBut what actually makes me the happiest is just making dope s**t, making things that I think are cool \u2013 and hopefully some others do too. Things like Mogul Money, things like the Christmas album, the kickball tournament.\u201d He ended up using a coin flip to aid his decision \u2013 and the coin landed in favor of Twitch. Though, as he let YouTube know he\u2019d be staying with Twitch, they \u201cfought\u201d for him. \u201cAnd I realized, in that moment, that even though I\u2019ve been with Twitch for three-plus years, even though people have called me the \u2018golden boy\u2019 of Twitch, I\u2019ve never felt particularly loved by Twitch. I love Twitch, but it hasn\u2019t been a two-way street,\u201d he added, noting YouTube even reduced the required amount of hours he\u2019d have to stream per month, which gives him more time to do the \u201ccool s**t\u201d he wants to do. Ludwig acknowledged that he had fear over the move as it\u2019s \u201cscary,\u201d but it\u2019s not like he\u2019s joining a start-up. He\u2019s headed to the \u201cbiggest website in the world for posting content.\u201d While some streamers who have swapped Twitch for YouTube have complained about certain features \u2013 mainly the chat and directory \u2013 Ludwig has even got an extension viewers can use to feel a bit more comfortable, and bring their Twitch name over to YouTube if they haven\u2019t already. He kickstarts his new journey on November 30th and fans will eagerly await what else comes from the move, especially as he plans to ramp up his other projects like The Yard and Mogul Money game show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
