Ludwig has perfect reaction to his third YouTube ban in just one week YouTube: LudwigLudwig Ahgren has had a rocky start to life on YouTube Gaming, being whacked with three DMCA-related stream suspensions in just the past seven days, but the former Twitch star has still been able to see the funny side. On December 5, the popular streaming star was whacked with yet another YouTube suspension; his third since joining the platform from Twitch last week. All three of his rapid-fire bans \u2014 none of which actually lasted that long \u2014 were DMCA related, which left the streamer scratching his head after ironically declaring \u201cnot in this car\u201d about copyright strikes when he revealed to the world in late November that he would be shifting allegiances to YouTube. Ludwig\u2019s latest suspension came during his Sunday stream, just six days after his defection. The star was, as usual for his streams, watching YouTube videos and reacting when he was hit with the banhammer. And, of course, Ludwig had the perfect response. \u201cGuys, I just realized something big,\u201d the newly-minted YouTuber said. \u201cI actually have to make content on this website\u2026 I can\u2019t just f**king react to things anymore!\u201d Of course, Ludwig wasn\u2019t really being serious about his future. The former Twitch star has built a huge, loyal fanbase on sharing his takes on things, reacting to current events, videos, and streams, and streamer crossovers. He has no plans to pivot away from that on YouTube, but the DMCA suspensions do leave him scratching his head on how to move forward. \u201cI\u2019ve been getting these warnings during streams, when I watch things. And I figured that meant they were going to take the money from me. But it meant they were going to take my ass down,\u201d he said. \u201cSo gotta figure that out.\u201d \u201cThe problem is YouTube thinks we\u2019re making content out of these videos, but it\u2019s just reacting to other people\u2019s content. They don\u2019t get it. That makes it hard.\u201d Then he joked: \u201cI\u2019ll be okay, I know I\u2019ll be okay, but there\u2019s no way other [Twitch] guys like Mizkif, Hasan, even xQc can ever come to YouTube and survive.\u201d Ludwig quickly set about trying to figure out how to skirt around the YouTube DMCA issue. While he didn\u2019t find a solid solution, he did suggest one hilarious option. The 26-year-old unveiled his genius idea midway through his return stream, an hour after suspension on December 5. According to the Californian star \u2014 very tongue-in-cheek, mind you \u2014 he can pull up \u201clike five videos\u201d at the same time, play them all, and the algorithm won\u2019t know what to do. Ludwig then revealed the YouTube bans aren\u2019t the end of the world by any means. In fact, these suspensions \u201caren\u2019t so much bans, as just like, stream stops,\u201d he explained. \u201cThey stop my stream, but I can just load it up again. \u201cRight now what I can do is react to whatever I want, then get this DMCA thing. Then I just restart my stream. It\u2019s not great, really, but it\u2019s something.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
