xQc claims Ludwig can\u2019t do gambling streams because he \u201csold out\u201d to YouTube Twitch: xQc\/YouTube: LudwigTwitch star Felix \u2018xQc\u2019 Lengyel has claimed that the real reason that his fellow streamer Ludwig \u2018Ludwig\u2019 Ahgren won\u2019t include sponsored gambling in his content is that YouTube is strict about any such ads on the platform. xQc sent sparks across the streaming community after he announced he would be using sponsored gambling ads once again during his streams. The news came a year after he quit the practice for good and apologized for \u201chardcore exposing\u201d gambling to his viewers. The move sparked a fiery dispute online as various streamers have shared their take on the change and the potential damage it could have on influential fans. YouTuber Ludwig added his voice to the debate claiming that he wouldn\u2019t be including any gambling in his content due to his previous addiction. However, xQc believes there could be another reason. xQc explains why Ludwig can\u2019t include gambling ads On May 19, xQc claimed that the reason Ludwig wouldn\u2019t be including gambling ads in his content would be because he \u201csold out\u201d to YouTube, which has a strict rule on the type of ads that can be circulated on the platform. It comes after Ludwig stated that he wouldn\u2019t be \u2018selling out\u2019 to online gambling sponsors for \u2018morality\u2019 reasons as well as his fear of the backlash he might receive from his fans and fellow streamers. \u201cGuys, I did some mental investigation about this, okay,\u201d xQc claimed. \u201cLudwig says he doesn\u2019t have a price. Then it hit me. It\u2019s because Ludwig is on YouTube and YouTube doesn\u2019t allow any [gambling], and Ludwig signed and sold out to YouTube.\u201d Back in June 2021, YouTube implemented a set of new policies with regards to its masthead ad content. The updated rules prohibited any ads promoting gambling, alcohol, political content, or prescription drugs from featuring on the website\u2019s home page. Responding to Ludwig\u2019s comments during his stream, xQc added: \u201c[Ludwig] literally contractually cannot in any way shape or form do it. Now, I got it. Now, it just kind of clicked.\u201d Ludwig hasn\u2019t openly responded to xQc\u2019s comments, as of writing. However, with the long list of streamers speaking out against the use of sponsored gambling ads continues to grow, this dispute isn\u2019t going away any time soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
