YouTube responds to Ludwig after shock ban for \u201cchild safety\u201d Twitch: LudwigTwitch streamer Ludwig Ahgren has received a response from YouTube, after he was handed a one week ban from uploading due to one of his videos being flagged for child safety. Despite his immense success on Twitch, Ludwig appears to have very little luck elsewhere on social media. The popular streamer was banned on Instagram last week, now followed by a YouTube ban. After consistent daily uploads for the past two years, Ludwig\u2019s streak is coming to a surprise end as a result of a ban that came through while he was broadcasting. \u201cHold up boys\u2026 What the f***,\u201d he said upon noticing the ban details in his inbox. His YouTube channel, closing in on two million subscribers, is now banned. He confirmed, \u201cI just got a community strike on my last \u2018You Laugh You Lose\u2019 video.\u201d \u201cThey just took [the June 15 video] down. I can\u2019t upload a video for a week. My streak\u2019s gonna die because of a\u2026\u201d Ludwig yelled before trailing off. As for the reason behind this sudden strike, YouTube informed him it was related to \u201cchild safety.\u201d Unfortunately, Ludwig wasn\u2019t quite able to pinpoint the specific clip that resulted in the ban. \u201cWhat was in the video?\u201d he asked frantically. \u201cThis sucks actually. I wonder what it was.\u201d Ultimately, this shock ban marks the end of his massive upload streak on the platform. For 618 days running, Ludwig released at least one video on his channel. This will now be the \u201cfirst time\u201d he\u2019s unable to upload in \u201calmost two years.\u201d Why was Ludwig\u2019s YouTube channel banned? After pondering for a few minutes, viewers in chat suggested one clip in particular that might have led to the punishment. Throughout his latest video, Ludwig reacted to a brief clip of a monkey throwing its poop at a child. However, Ludwig fired back at this idea, highlighting how the original clip is still on YouTube. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t make sense,\u201d he said. \u201cThe video is on YouTube. If my video got taken down, but the [original] video has 10x my views\u2026 Every single clip is a reaction to a clip on YouTube.\u201d YouTube reinstates Ludwig video After the streamer highlighted the issue on Twitter, YouTube\u2019s help team responded and said they would look into the situation. After a few hours, they confirmed his video had been reinstated, but with an age restriction. They also confirmed that his ban from uploading had been lifted. Following up \u2013 we heard back from our team and your video has been reinstated with age restriction. You can learn more about Age Restricted Content here: https:\/\/t.co\/CaX7aMdscj. You should be able to continue uploading videos, let us know if you’re seeing otherwise. \u2014 TeamYouTube (@TeamYouTube) June 15, 2021 But, Ludwig has already taken action to prevent losing his upload streak \u2013 by reposting a short clip from over three years ago. He said: \u201cThis video was uploaded three years ago and I\u2019m posting it in hopes of somehow keeping my streak. This might, however, be the end of the 618 days of uploading a video every day. Thank you for watching any of the videos whether it was 1 or all of them. I appreciate you and hopefully I get unbanned soon so I can keep doing what I love.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
