Ludwig shocked by how \u201cbitter\u201d Twitch fans have been since he left for YouTube YouTube: LudwigLudwig Ahrgen admitted that he was shocked to learn how \u2018bitter\u2019 Twitch fans have been towards him since he switched over to YouTube in November 2021 but claims it \u201ckind of makes sense.\u201d Ludwig shocked the internet in November 2021 after announcing that he\u2019d signed an exclusive deal with YouTube Gaming and was leaving Twitch. Since then, he\u2019s spoken about the move multiple times. He even claimed that his new home has a major advantage over his previous one. It\u2019s not all sunshine and rainbows, though. During a stream on January 4, he admitted he\u2019s been surprised by how \u201cmean\u201d Twitch fans have become regarding him online since leaving the platform. \u201cHow do I feel about the overall switch? I think it\u2019s been good,\u201d said Ludwig. \u201cI am still struggling with the same thing I was struggling with in the first week, which was people are much meaner than I thought.\u201d He explained that it doesn\u2019t \u201cbother\u201d him too much on the surface because content creators are exposed to \u201cmean people\u201d all the time. However, he was surprised to learn that tribalism (an allegiance to a platform) played a part. \u201cI didn\u2019t think people would be so against me because they align themselves so heavily with, like, being a Twitch viewer,\u201d he said. But he believes it \u201ckind of makes sense\u201d because it\u2019s like rooting for a football team.

But it\u2019s different when it\u2019s a multi-billion dollar conglomerate organization.\u201d For that reason, he\u2019s surprised that so many Twitch fans have acted \u201cmore antagonistic\u201d towards him. The relevant part of the video starts at 52.13. It hasn\u2019t all been bad, though. Ludwig claimed that switching platforms has helped him realize how small the streaming community actually is in the real world. He reached the same conclusion about himself, too. \u201cAll the things in the Twitch circle seem hugely important and massive,\u201d he said. \u201cBut when you scope out and look at it, it\u2019s like a tiny little dot. I\u2019ve been able to see how small not only the entire thing is, but also I am.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
