Ludwig slams Twitch\u2019s \u201cboring as F\u201d subathon trend he helped start YouTube: Mogul MailYouTube star Ludwig \u2018Ludwig\u2019 Ahgren has hit out at the subathon trend that has taken over Twitch despite still holding the record for one of the most successful subathons of all time. Subathons have long been a controversial trend among the streaming community. While it helps bring in the funds for up-and-coming creators, some also go to extreme lengths to keep viewers watching. Creators can find themselves spending days in front of the camera, continuing to broadcast as long as the subs keep rolling in. As a result, streamers such as Pokimane and Sykkuno have criticized the \u201cunhealthy\u201d trend. One of the first streamers who helped popularize subathons was Ludwig who has since criticized the practice, saying it is \u201cinherently boring.\u201d Ludwig criticizes \u201cboring\u201d subathons On June 7, Ludwig discussed his \u201clukewarm\u201d take on subathons in a video uploaded to his YouTube channel \u2018Mogul Mail.\u2019 One particularly pointed comment from the 26-year-old being that subathons are \u201cboring as f**k.\u201d To help highlight his point, he showed a pie chart detailing the content that made up his month-long stream back in April 2021. The chart revealed how he took up various activities during the event, including working out, watching a movie, and playing Valorant. However, the vast majority of his subathon was spent sleeping. Whereas, 21.5% was \u2018Just Chatting\u2019 and for 5% of the time he wasn\u2019t even on camera. Ludwig added: \u201c[A subathon] is just a human living their life. It\u2019s more \u2018Truman Show\u2019 than content creator creating content worth consuming.\u201d Ludwig still holds the record for the highest sub count on Twitch thanks to his hugely successful subathon back in April 2021 beating out the previous title-holder Ninja. However, despite his comments, Ludwig explained that he is planning to go ahead with yet another subathon in the future. Only this time, it will be \u201ccharity-based\u201d and he\u2019s been \u201cmulling over ideas\u201d to make his content more entertaining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
