YO!! IMPORTANT Q&A
I am still live (drop a prime :3) and will be until the timer runs out or 31 days. Whichever comes first.
I didn’t only make $3k I did shoddy math to illustrate I don’t take away $500K. I think the numbers closer to like 40-70k but I really won’t know until I’ve paid my taxes. (LOL)
Will edit to answers any qs so drop them if you have them
nice
You're epic

Why you awake dawg, don’t you have a sleep stream to tend to?
If anyone is wondering, yes, he is still live.
was about to check
Thanks, title felt misleading D:
Did he do the ludlock again in the past 5ish hours or so
This comment might not age well but is still appreciated
Thanks
The reason you are getting money while sleeping is that Europeans can finally watch you live without changing their scedule.
This is true, there's a lot more people outside of the Americas than there are in the Americas. So him streaming overnight catches anyone outside of the Americas and like 200 degenerates that never go to sleep.
true I am normally only able to watch his youtube
True, he’s always sleeping when I have the time to check his stream:D

This.
unfortuntely when the timer drops below an hour, he turns down from+10 seconds to +1 second
I doubt this happens he will probaby hit the cap
Nothing like “trolling him” by giving him thousands more dollars to simply continue having a camera turned on
Imagine after all of this, his mods say “April fools”, and tell him they’ve been controlling the timer the whole time.
Lud, the reason why you had more viewers when sleeping is just because the EU GANG IS SOOOOO EXCITED to be able to be in a live Lud stream, that we even watch it when ur sleeping!!
i don’t know if i should feel bad or good about this anymore
it’s a mix at this point

Actual earnings assuming Ludwig made 500k already this year:
Total: $471,756
After Twitch: $304,260 (This assumes all money went through twitch which I don't think is true?)
After Mods deduction: $234,260
After Charity deduction: $150,260
After other expenses deduction: $120,290
After state tax 12.3%: $105,494
After federal tax 37%: $66,461
Total taken home: $66,461
Thanks for the help commenters :)
Ludwig's overall point of 'it isn't like I am taking away 500k' is still worth pointing out. I just wanted to try the math.
Reasons: You should be deducting charity and mod payments before taxes. Both would constitute deductions, reducing your taxed revenue. I think he also did the federal and state taxes combined rather than separately. It should be done seperately which would reduce the actual tax amount. He also did both state and federal taxes as if all money is taxed at the highest bracket rate rather than at the % of each bracket but, as commenters below have pointed out, Ludwig has likely already made 500k this year so this money would all be taxed in the highest bracket. Assuming Ludwig already made 500k this year, it would all be taxed at 12.3% then 37%. This is very different from 49.3%. To use an example with 10% and 30%. 10-10% is 9. 9 - 30% is 6.3. This would be different from 10-40% which would be 6.
GTA No Taxman Run
Regarding the progressive rate, he would already earn enough outside of this subathon over the year to be in the top tax bracket. So its fair for him to consider the money earned here as taxed at the highest rate.
Marginal rate doesn’t matter because he would presumably be in the top tax bracket despite the subathon. I cut him explaining that because I thought it was obvious.
New strat?
@@ShakeDrizzle Edit: I misunderstood his point. I apologize. What I say here is correct but entirely irrelievant to his point.
Being in the top tax bracket does not change that your income is taxed in each bracket. People commonly do not understand how progressive tax systems work. To put it simply, comparing a person who made a trillion dollars and another person 10k, both of you will pay the same tax on your first 10k. At no point does earning more money cause your previously earned money to be taxed more.
Honestly, if he makes 3k or 30k he deserves every penny. He could have easily not given shit to the mods, he could have easily backed out of his charity commitment; but he stayed true and cared more about the viewers and mods that help make his dream of streaming for living come true, than about a one time payment. Really makes me happy for the guy, even though I haven’t subbed because I’m a broke college student.
California is a joke
My unpopular opinion is that Ludwig doesn't deserve every penny. I personally have not spent any money on this joke, but to a reasonable extent I see the humour. The majority of people are essentially paying him money during this subathon so that he has to suffer a little bit by being forced to continuously stream for a long period. In reward for this he has received an extremely large sum of money and attention, which despite taxes and nobly choosing to pay moderators (which to an extent helps himself by providing more motivated moderators), will still end up making him far more than $30,000 no question. He is being more than adequately compensated.
Despite this he changed the sub time change down from 20 seconds, he started banning over 100 gifted subs, he left for a while to do a birthday dinner for one of his room mates, and now most outrageously is actually leaving to go visit his girlfriend's parents. All of these things undermine what people are paying him to do, and what people have previously paid (because they did not expect future subs to be restricted to less time and caps, not to mention just leaving). I have nothing against doing things for yourself and others, but then don't start an "uncapped" subathon.
Bottom line if you say you are going to do something and you are getting well compensated for it, you should do it, and it's really lame in my opinion that he isn't. Maybe I just don't get it, but it really makes me not want to watch the stream and if I subbed before I would have been mad about it, and I'm surprised people don't seem to be.
@@thegrandimperialist168 not that deep
@@intoxicated5321 Fair enough
@@thegrandimperialist168 he banned over 100 gift subs because thats a lotttt of money average people are paying him just to stay live. if he didnt ban that then it would be same few people giving him money to stay live. either way.... not exactly sure why u r so upset over this i mean i dont think anyone who actually spent money on this care that much. ludwig seems to be doing the best he can and i dont think his fans care if he wants to go eat dinner or visit his gfs family. the stream is still on and he has his roommates taking over. hes not breaking any rules technically
So this is what the FBI feels like...

8:19 what I tell my teachers when I turn in a assignment late
i love ludwig's mindset
Since capping the gifted amount, the timer has consistently been decreasing. Had he not capped it, I seriously think he would’ve been streaming through April
I think that is more correlation than causation. I believe that the gifted subs over the cap when the cap was put in place only accounted for at most a day of time.
@@ethanmoss3130 exactly if it was that easy streamers do thos everyday all day
Also, it was a smart move. Therefore, more actual people would sub not just the rich ones giving a lot of money. Active subs is the valuable treasure. He could do anything including big ad deals with that.
I honestly think people are just saving up for the weekend to spend huge again
If we make it to April 1st, April Fools day might have a huge resurgence

I love that by the end of the video, the timer actually went up
I really hope it doesn't end while he and qt are visiting her family this weekend. Would kinda blow if the single biggest event in his streaming career would end without him being there.
Viewership is probably up at night, because EU watchers are awake when you sleep.
VGHS is such a good show and I'm so glad a new audience has watched it now. Not only is it a great story, it shows what a dedicated and skilled group of people can do if they work together.

**the timer is at 69 hours again***
