"It sounds so selfish" dawg I work at Walmart, if Target hit me up and said "We'll pay you a dollar more and someone will acknowledge you exist" I'd leave in a heartbeat. It is not selfish to switch jobs for a place that wants you to work comfortably and WANTS you to stay. That's just smart. If your fans can be on twitch, they can be on UA-cam. You're awesome Lud, I hope I can stream the way you do sometime. Stay awesome!
@@SGTxBlack thank you! The hardest part of growing up was realizing that your heart will never be held by any company, until they realize they need you. Good to know UA-cam partnerships respect Lud
"twitch never reached out to me" Straight up I think the success has gone to Twitch's head. There are so many people who love the site, but I've never heard of the site actually showing appreciation for the creators and steamers that earn them that money. Good on Lud for switching and making that money, and allowing him to focus on more creation rather than padding hours just playing Auto Pets. Good luck buddy
Has twitch even become profitable yet? It's spent most of its time as a website losing money, its been a advertising platform for Amazons other services essentially.
And I don't think they realize how easily youtube could gobble them up if they're not careful. What makes twitch unique is a lot easier to implement than what makes youtube unique to twitch
I think this is a small ripple that could lead to a big wave. If youtube grabbed miz and xqc as well somehow that's a big chunk of twitch culture going to UA-cam
Oh it will definitely be a big wave, Facebook Gaming and Mixer created small ripples that shook things up, UA-cam could make a tidal wave that will change Twitch forever, we could be seeing the beginning of the end for twitch as we know it now.
Miz's chat told him that this was the best time ever for him to renegotiate his twitch contract...he looked smug for a bit and said "Ludwig leaving is the best thing that's ever happened to me." Take from that what you will :)
“One day, I’ll hit the stop steaming button forever” It takes a lot of guts to say this. This is the reality of our lives, nothing is permanent and just being honest and upfront and preparing for this is the best thing one can do instead of trying to avoid this.
@@rajorajo7429 honestly I wasn't a huge fan of this comment. But then I saw it was at 3 likes so I figured "Hey, why not make it 4? 4 is better than 3"
Yup. You work hard, invest your time at a company but in return they don't invest in you nor your fight for you. It's a two way street, show you have faith and invest in me, and i'll invest my full effort for you.
That really hurts hearing that twitch didn't reach out after the subathon. Looking forward to the future big plans. Something i hope youtube works on is the social aspect of streaming on there platform, I.E. Emotes, raids, gifting memberships(subs) ect.
The H3 podcast has said that they're working on raids or something like it already, with him and probably other content creators they will be forced to implement such changes faster
Gifted subs, raiding (live redirect), are confirmed coming early next year. Drops are also in the works. I've also been hearing rumblings of a UA-cam Premium/Red equivalent of a Twitch Prime but that hasn't yet been confirmed.
All these viewers have parasocial relationships. Nobody normal is actually watching this video. It just got recommended, clicked from interest, and immediately leaving this to head out.
It’s not selfish to want some attention from twitch itself, it’s just human of you. Proud of you for making a decision and I’m so excited to see the future of Ludwig streams and content :)
I think all of these "exclusive platform deals" for streamers are fucking stupid to begin with. Its bad for the streamer, its bad for the content creator, its bad for the viewer, and its ONLY good for the multi-billion dollar companies. The fact that THIS video of ludwig has to exist is pretty stupid, mans had to flip a coin to decide what platform to stream on.....
@@DaFifaKid shut up bro. Bad for the steamer? They get millions and get have more freedom to play what they want. Like Ludwig said he has more creative control and doesn’t have to grind so many hours. Plus they don’t have to worry about analytics of leaving for. A vacation. Bad for the viewer? Both twitch and UA-cam are free.
@@DaFifaKid even Ludwig said he could do better quality stuff as he doesn’t have to grind so he can produce better content. He doesn’t have to waste hours doing reactions videos
@@edwardlomeli5657 and this is a defense of exclusivity deals being bad how...? that's insane that you told that dude to shut up for criticizing two big companies but your only defense is "moving platforms is good for ludwig" like that contradicts his point at all
Damn when he said twitch didnt even hit em up after the subathon, made me think of all the times youtube be contacting/rewarded and letting their creators know. "Hey we appreciate your crazy work."
Yeh and remember all the content creators they’ve pushed under the rug, or nuked monetarily. Or the huge anti consumer changes to the likes to be more corporate friendly, UA-cam is growing to maybe be the biggest, but by far not the best.
7:47 When I heard this, I thought of an old job I had. I loved the field I was in. I was comfortable. Yet one day, I was offered a large salary elsewhere, so I did the same as you and went to both companies regarding the matter. The company I worked hard for for 2 years, repeatedly exceeded expectations, showed up every day, gave my life to, gave me that exact same line. All the while the other company offered me more to get me to consider it. That kicked me in the chest. I had tears in my eyes as I walked out of that office. I was leaving a company where I was recognized as one of their best employees, and they wouldn't even consider asking me to stay. I made the right decision, and I hope this is what's best for you as well. Make them Mogul Moves bro.
this reminds me of my mom who recently switched jobs after more than 20 years in her company. she felt super underappreciated when her old company wouldn't even consider ways to fix what was making her consider leaving in the first place. said bye bye and is now in a new environment :)
This makes so much sense, one of the most important factors when you have a job is to feel important and needed at your work place, feeling that what you do is appreciated. Knowing that they don't just replace you and want to right to keep you.

After interacting with you and meeting some of your editing team, and getting more involved in watching your content I gotta say… You’re going to absolutely murk this platform, (not that you haven’t been already) and although it is quite a bit more lonely I feel like you’ve done so much work on the backend of networking on twitch that those connections will still pull through and hang out with you. You’re an extremely entertaining and well-meaning person and I think UA-cam, bigger ideas, more focus on content quality and less of a continuous grind will be an entirely new era. Everything good is scary, you’re going to come out of this with some of the coolest stuff on the internet and I can’t wait to watch! Lud7
All the effort you are putting in to try and keep your chat happy and a smooth transition is really cool to see. I personally love UA-cam as a platform and wish you all the best 👏🏻 can’t wait to see the melee tournament.
If this makes it that he can do more complicated and interesting shit like his Gameshows and tournament, I can't wait to see where this ride is going and I'm all here for it
I don’t watch this guy, but man, no matter how much money he makes-the feeling of not being valued and appreciated for all you’ve done, that’s relatable. Glad you went with UA-cam. Hope you keep killing it, Ludwig.
Wtf are you on about? He's literally being what selfish really is, just because somebody in this case UA-cam doing more for you doesn't mean the other person(Twitch) need to do the same thing just for you, like he brags about not really caring about money yet he's crying when twitch doesn't appreciate how much money he made for twitch, That's just hypocritical. It's really sad that a UA-camr that introduced me to Twitch, to a whole new community has become so selfish so quickly.
“UA-cam’s not Facebook, no offence” was god tier Love the way you think about content man. Not many like you, an artist and an entertainer, and clearly someone who cares
Man, it kind of does seem like the end of an era. Despite how hard it must have been to make a choice and how scary it is to take a giant leap into the unknown, it's great to see you stand up for the content you want to make. If it makes you happy, the only thing you can do is run it
wow, a new era begins, the fact that Twitch really never gave you any acknowledgement after the subathon really makes this decision make a lot of sense, regardless of anything else. People deserve to be acknowledged for their achievements.
Honestly as a YT frog I cant wait to feel the Twitch atmosphere, without having a Twitch account. Hell, it might be the very first time I actually tune in on some streams of yours instead of just watching the vids.
@@justarandomguy3969 twitch is garbage to use from a viewer perspective. I use twitch everyday and you get so used to how good the UA-cam interface is that twitch is like eating dogshit. What even is their scrollbar? Can't 1.5x vods, vods delete after a month, finding new streamers to watch is a nightmare unless you search for exactly who you want, some channels just force you to watch at 1080p which for us third world bitches buffers like a bitch and is basically unwatchable. And UA-cam is great for split screen but twitch just gives you a middle finger
@@slashbat2375 I haven’t used twitch on my computer in a while so I don’t remember exactly but would I be correct to say you can’t full screen a stream on twitch if you’re on a computer? Cuz I never found out how
@@cl-jp3uv i remember doing full screen twitch streams atleast from 2013. its the same sort of button as a youtube video or any video for that matter, a square bracket type thing bottom right of the screen player
"If I lose chat, I lose the love I have for streaming..." I think...you just helped me realize why I feel so lost and unmotivated when it comes to live streaming. Just want to say thank you, for streaming and making this. It was heartfelt and revolutionary for me. Take care, my imaginary friend...take care....
The fucking emotion I felt in the “hurt like shit” moment still… that’s hard man. Congrats on the move though! I know this will be a great move in the end
@@twdcofficial7691 He did want money, but he wanted that money to carry out a plan that requires high funding. More than anything, however, he wanted at least a little recognition for his achievements. Which he did not get from twitch.
@@letterv54 lol it’s what every twitch streamer that switches platform says. Just like shroud moving to mixer or ninja moving to mixer. They say other things to make it seem like it was for some philosophical reason, but in reality it was because they offered them more money and nothing else. UA-cam is strictly worse than twitch and everyone knows that.
The first streamer I will genuinely watch on UA-cam. I'm of the opinion that UA-cam will be live streaming king in the long run anyway.. I love the twitch community and culture and I think that's what makes the switch so difficult both as a streamer and viewer. You keep doing you boss, you're a content beast.
The only streamer that’s made the change so far that could make me follow. The man is a legend and if he could accomplish all he did with the limitations Twitch put on him, imagine what kind of cool shit he can do with UA-cam.
honestly, and lud has spoken about this, i feel there’s very little growth because of twitch. like most growth comes from other platform so as long as you link to where you stream then like it doesn’t matter if the platform is youtube or twitch
as long as youtube has emote plugins like twitch, and improves they discoverability like having a dedicated livestream section, yeah I see youtube winning in the long run
This is far and away the biggest takeaway from it. Twitch lost one of their biggest streamers of all time because they refused to improve for their content creators and viewers.
definitely shows how much impact being fought for has, especially with a deal that'll allow you to have a bit more time to expand on projects and even personal life. you won't be alone and you'll grow comfortable on this platform im sure. 🙇🏾♀️
Yeah and I think it's indicative of how much of a traditional corporation Twitch has become (not saying UA-cam isn't), they don't really care about their earners they just care about their bottom line. Business is business and Twitch does not care enough to fight for the creators, and they don't have to because the massive streamers will usually stay anyway.
@@bloodjunkie1919 TF are you on about ? Lud makes a good million or so has a lot of friends. Lives in a nice house,in a good neighborhood,eats well,etc. He wasn't a slave or anything.
@@ImperiaGin yeah no shit but he quite clearly states how Twitch didn't care about keeping him and wanted him to stream way more hours than UA-cam. I never said Lud was a slave or didn't have friends or anything like that I only stated the fact that Twitch's bottom line isn't affected simply by Lud leaving so therefore they don't care enough to actually make an effort to keep him. I didn't mention housing, income, friends, diet or anything like that and it appears you're the one who has no fucking idea what he's on about.
This was the best response I have seen as to why someone has changed platforms. I appreciate you showing us the thought process and what went through your mind. We appreciate the effort put forth by you and Otto for trying to make this as seamless as possible. I think this was a good choice, much love and good luck man!
It’s pretty clear that Twitch feels like they’re (and i guess is at the moment) untouchable while UA-cam is actively trying to knock them off. Once UA-cam cleans up some of their features and grabs a few more streamers, Twitch will probably start to fall off + ratio + L. I’m glad you got on that call with UA-cam and that they fought to get you. It may feel like leaving your comfort zone but imo that’s where you get to grow the most. Also that Otto extension is huge considering UA-cam’s dumb username link to your email Also don’t feel lonely you have Rae (for at least 2 months until her contract expires pepelaugh)
IDK some people are comfortable to twitch. I love UA-cam but YT is easy to distract me from videos but compare to going to Twitch I can go into my fave streamer easily.
The biggest win is making that extension with Otto. So excited to hear it, streamers know best on how to keep the audience and I hope YT listens to you and other creators it's getting and actually make the platform better so streamers get more options! Will only miss seeing hi yt in chat but overall I think this a huge blow to Twitch and it's got a lot of people talking.
@@Glade4 its literally just some extension, like hivemind and shit on twitch, no? you just go on his channel and everything is automatic and connected there
Ludwig is definitely better suited for larger projects because he has the personality for a good host. I have seen a few episodes of Mogul Money and it was really fun.
For what it's worth, I think you're making the right decision. Mogul Money and the other cool shit you make is top tier content and I'll be real, it's the content I subbed to your channel for, and it's the only content I reliably come back for. Sure I watch a stream or two here and there, but that's not content that makes me excited. I don't go to twitch like _"Oh boy, sure can't wait to watch Ludwig casually play a game while shooting the breeze with chat."_ but instead it's just something to play in the background while I do my own shit. But the other content, that's worth everything, and if this means more of that then I can only see it as a good thing not just for me, not just for you in terms of enjoying and being proud of what you do, but for the channel as a whole. I sincerely wish you nothing but the best, Ludwig. And never forget that we all came here to watch the stuff _you_ wanted to make, so doing what you think is best will always be the right choice.
I was so worried and bummed out about losing my sub badge and the emotes when i heard you were going to youtube. After watching this video I'm super excited about the switch and really happy for you man. Glad you made the right decision.
"It sounds so selfish, right?!" Not even fkn close. Your life so live it and get the approval we all need whether we admit it or not. Good on ya, and good luck!
i mean it was selfish in a way, that being said i dont think it was wrong or unmoral. people ought to make selfish decisions, problem is when those decisions hurt others ;p
@@Thalaranthey i wrote a long paragraph about your idea and agreeing with you but, as the phrase goes, I couldn’t say it better myself. So instead I’ll just reply to say that this Internet stranger found your nugget of wisdom insightful.
This was so heartfelt and honest. I am actually so excited about the move to UA-cam because of little things like being able to pause live streams and rewind real time without the VOD. But I can’t wait to see what you bring to this platform. Congratulations!
The „Twitch extension“ for UA-cam actually makes me a bit excited about this move… Because one bad thing about UA-cam streaming is definitely the lack of Culture. As a viewer, it just doesn’t feel like your own little world with no good emotes, common memes or inside jokes but it seems like that could be fixed by this extension. The one thing I still dislike about this it that it always feels like part of the culture of twitch is falling apart with every big streamer leaving the website. It also sucks that this all comes down to mistakes on twitch‘s part like not fighting for their creators and being, in general, what seems like a horrible company with weird guidelines, policies and decisions, making other websites more attractive from the get go.
UA-cam has its same weird guidelines and policies but the one thing that makes a difference is that youtube understands its a bigger company and having a connection with the creators that will bring you success or has brought you success is important even if its just a plaque for 100k-1mil its the idea that goes a lot longer of a way than doing nothing the way twitch has and they have been failing with that aspect for a long time
I watch a few UA-cam streamers and they actually do have their own UA-cam emotes but their not site-wide they're specific to the channel. It'd be cool if they made emotes available from any channel on any other
I feel like this is the most heartfelt we can see Ludwig, he is so open right now. I hope this switch to youtube does not change the content stream too much, it would be a shame to lose things like TikTok Time, the Reddit Re, You Laugh You Lose, etc.
"They're not gonna help me make the shit I wanna make." No, but they expect you, and people like you, to help them instead. You said you like the culture at Twitch, but the culture at Amazon will soon take over and it won't resemble anything like what we used to love about the platform. Succeed or fail, you made the right choice.

Like Tim said when he switched, you went from being a big fish in a lake to a medium sized fish in an ocean. But fear shouldn't keep you from following your dreams and being with those who care about you and want to help. I'm happy for the switch to UA-cam. They seem genuinely interested in their streamers and how to help them unlike twitch.
That said, UA-cam as a platform has been dunking on content creators since like 2011. Not to be the pessimistic dude but most likely the reason they fought for Lud was because they knew he would make them money instead of that whole, "we're not colleagues, we're a family" narrative
@@bigsleepy9889 It has a much larger userbase than twitch. The active viewerbase of Livestreams is higher on twitch, but the lack of care that twitch has for a lot of it's creators means that UA-cam could become a serious competitor very soon. And picking up creators like Ludwig only helps
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." My man is about to take off like never before. Congrats Lud

I love this transparency. Super genuine and awesome. I don’t have to hope for youtube to give you any sort of boost, because you already got that. Rather, I hope YOU can give youtube the boost to their streaming side.
Hell nah, I mean I am happy for the guy but fuck UA-cam. "Wtf are you doing here then?" Well that's the problem, there is no other place like UA-cam if you get me.
@@dualvoid8223 Google? I am talking about UA-cam, and yes if there was a better platform than UA-cam I would imagine almost everyone would go there. UA-cam is ruining their own site, if they continue then their is no doubt a competitor will show up and beat UA-cam. Keep in mind I am talking about this "newish" UA-cam, not when the site was in its prime years.
This had me tearing up, thank you for making this and going against your fears. Walking the walk gives the talking you talk a lot more weight. Definitely inspired me to start leaning outside my comfort zone and doing the things that seem like a jump off a cliff. We need more influencers like this out here
“We wish you the best” wow that for sure has to hurt. They didn’t even fight for you. Glad to see you going somewhere else that might value you much more. ❤️
Twitch's biggest content-creator: I'm leaving Twitch because they wanted me to work an insane amount of hours and they showed very little respect or appreciation for me. Twitch: Oh, that sucks. Anyways, hey userbase, can you work 200+ hours a month for us for less money than what you were making before and also push more ads? Thx.
Ludwig, this was beautifully put. The way you are so open with your audience is why we enjoy your content so much. We'll follow you wherever you go. o7
Great decision Lud, not only did you stand up for your own goal, these kind of videos and great content creators leaving the platform will/should be an incentive for Twitch to change their ways as well. Thus improving the situation for all streamers :)
So, basically the entire reason for leaving twitch was: "It's not about the money Mr. Bezos, it's about sending a message." Still weird that Twitch didn't even try to keep you. You would think they would hold on to their whales with an iron grip. How many more are they going to let go before they start to lose out on new viewers?
Twitch has shown it really doesn’t care about its creators with the way it treats them along with the radio silence certain creators receive from the platform. Look at dr disrespect like…
I think they’re arrogant in thinking they’re ahead of the game so they think they’ll eventually come crawling back. Like that Mixer and Facebook thing. Honestly, from my own experience as a viewer, UA-cam’s layout and options are better than Twitch now. Twitch is ahead in game interaction from what I’m aware but UA-cam can catch up. And it’s UA-cam which usually pushes a creator to bigger heights through the algorithm recommended and larger audiences (clips and edited videos doing the leg work). Twitch needs to see it’s starting to lag behind and that what it’s offering in terms of viewership, contracts, and creativity isn’t competitive enough. Any streamers that do bigger projects are likely to jump to UA-cam if they get offered the same. I don’t watch live, so the streams I do watch are vods for like Teo and Chilled Chaos and those are on UA-cam. UA-cam doesn’t really separate it’s live and video notifications that I’ve seen so I’d be more likely to catch Ludwig live if he was on UA-cam (and I did for the recent Mogul Money). Ludwig has a great concept for livestreaming gameshows with chat interaction. It incentivises seeing it live and participating, which then generates donos and subs from more live viewers likely to partake in that.
To be fair, unlike a lot of streamers, Ludwig is a UA-cam guy, he's always focussed on making content for UA-cam videos as oppose to some other streamers that have editors that rip stuff from the VOD and reupload. This is a move that I'm not actually disappointed with, congrats to Ludwig for the move :)
From what I've heard UA-cam gaming seems like they have much more accommodating and practical work flow than twitch or even the corporate decisions UA-cam makes, so good luck on the move, and have fun!
I always watched his UA-cam videos and rarely watched him on twitch, but since he is fully on UA-cam I will definitely be watching his streams from now on. Very excited for this new chapter in luds life. Congrats Ludwig, have a nice one.
I fucking screamed when you said you flipped the coin. It's been around two years or so since I started watching you, but time sure flies by, and we get more busy as we grow up, so I'm not really up to date with what's happening on streams. You have always been a big inspiration for me and seeing you make such a brave and hard decision is breathtaking, and again - inspiring. I even shed a couple of tears for you.✊🏻 I think your future on youtube is already secured for you. I wish you the best, Lud. Everything will be alright.

Hey ludwig, I just wanted you to know that this is the first time I related to any content creator. I am going through a career change at the moment and I start my new career on Monday. This has helped me more than you know. I had this huge decision in my life and I thought that my life was over and I'd never become something of myself. But seeing this video made me realize that this is my path and I had made the right choice. You also made the right choice because this is your path in life. And you are made to do great things (which you already have, but you have not peaked yet). Thank you for helping me. You are helping me through a lull in my life and I know I don't only speak for myself. Sorry I am drunk but what I said stands. Edit: I've been drinking so I fixed a ton of spelling errors
Really sorry Twitch didn’t value you as much as you truly deserve, but I’m really excited to see how you continue to grow & thrive on UA-cam instead. Here’s to the new era, LFG!
@@SiBebok I watched him everyday for quite a while and he talked, quite discrete, about monetization and such. It’s a common fact YT doesn’t give a shit about their partners, their algorithms and automated systems decide the fate of YTers content
Man, I have been watching Lud for a few years and he has always gave chat the feeling of being close and let chat experience things WITH him, but this felt very close and vulnerable, and that is beautiful. We're proud of you Lud, you have a achieved so much and there is nothing that can stop you from achieving more and bigger things. Ludwig7 -Chat, Your fellow LudBuds
I'm so happy to hear that Lud's hopping over to a platform that'll treat him with respect. Watching him grow as not just a streamer, but as a person for these past couple years that I've been watching him has been amazing, and it always hurt to see how much Twitch snubbed his whole ass existence. The Ludbuds will always be around to hype you up king o7
The fact that UA-cam cared enough to allow last minute changes in an attempt to convince him if it came to it. While Twitch treats him like he is just another one despite the way his name is attached to their brand, it is a major indicator he made the right choice. Twitch, as a platform, doesn't seem to believe that they're dependent on big content creators. While UA-cam is steadily realizing that they need content creators to thrive.
no better time to become a Ludbud than now I guess, if you liked this one, he has many other storytime videos you should check out first. Start with "Why I regret going to Las Vegas with QTCinderella". Dude's amazingly gifted at telling stories
You should check out his story time videos, like his “How I Accidentally…” series. Phenomenal storytelling, incredible charisma while interacting with chat and IRL. Plus his editors are insanely talented and help with the story telling
Honestly a good move. I feel like UA-cam saw what you could offer to their platform and twitch didn’t see/care about that value. In my opinion, Twitch needs to get their shit together because a lot of streamers seems to feel the same way after reacting to this video. If they don’t get their shit together more big streamers will most likely migrate.
I think moving to UA-cam was the best thing you could have done looking back on it now, I don’t like going to twitch, I went there once and I didn’t like how it worked so I’m really glad you moved to UA-cam because that enables me to watch your streams !
As a UA-cam frog, I'm so happy about this. I'm sure the guys at twitch are nice and everything but my goodness, they treat you awfully. Ill be there to catch the streams. Big love man.
In all the years of my life, i will say that "the best decision is always the hardest one". Been a Ludwig yt frog for morethan 2 years now and i wish him all the best with whatever venture he pursues.
In all the years of my life, i will say that "the best decision is always the hardest one". Been sober more than 2 years now and i wish him all the best with whatever venture he pursues.
as a viewer i like twitch as a plattform where you can see which channels are live on the side, they way chat works, clipping, and sorting by category, prime subs and cause most people are on twitch. youtube i love for the live player cause you can just rewind and speed up to catch up, it's annoying you can't just go back on twitch and have to load the vod if you missed a moment. and i like that youtube keeps all the vods. so i don't really care what plattform my fav cc's stream from as long as they're happy. i think it was a good decision for lud, i think his community will find a way to watch him on yt. it makes so much sense for him to switch, being valued and getting a better deal? hell i'd take it in a heartbeat. staying loyal and comfortable in that context would just work against his aspirations.
Just in general in terms of job hunting and negotiation, it sounds like you’re on a path for new healthy growth! So excited for this new chapter and I hope you feel as big of a welcome on YT that you were hoping for!
Love the transparency Ludwig, and honestly I’m not surprised. Everybody knows that the community is what keeps it going but it feels like the company itself hasn’t made a right decision in a while
i remember watching you when you were really deep into smash bros and over the years you’ve grown so much! i’ll always continue to support you and look forward to what the future has in store :))
Bro, trust me: you're making the right decision. I had the same shit happen to me at my last job. Had they literally just approached me and asked if I wanted a job on base (I was a contractor), I would've jumped immediately. However, they reached out to what felt like everyone else because they thought they could keep me as a contractor. Well, I hopped over to Boeing very quickly after that and moved halfway across the country because they offered me literally 2k off of the maximum of the range I gave them. Sometimes, you just gotta go where you're wanted even if the people you work with are fantastic and the job is easy where you are. I will 100% be watching your streams on UA-cam. Best of luck.
UA-cam now just makes sense, they improved the streaming side of their platform a lot since they first implemented it, a lot of people are finding twitch streams through youtube content anyways. I think the number of Ludwig viewers that exclusively watched on twitch is miniscule if it even exists, so I do think the switch will be relatively painless and if it brings forth more of the cool shit like The Yard, Mogul Money, etc. it is definitely worth it. This is a business after all, and irl people change companies all the time to get better pay, benefits whatever, this is no different. I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us in the coming months :)
@@samt3412 The stream content on UA-cam is just like the content you find Twitch; there is a diverse amount of streams that can range from shit to phenomenal. But youtube needs to make some improvements to their streams in order to hold a candle to Twitch's steams.
The Actual Emotion that went into this shows everything, please do what you love we will enjoy every second of it! your not alone we are all here to stay Ludwig. Stay Mogul :)
"It sounds so selfish"
dawg I work at Walmart, if Target hit me up and said "We'll pay you a dollar more and someone will acknowledge you exist" I'd leave in a heartbeat. It is not selfish to switch jobs for a place that wants you to work comfortably and WANTS you to stay. That's just smart. If your fans can be on twitch, they can be on UA-cam. You're awesome Lud, I hope I can stream the way you do sometime. Stay awesome!
Good take bro

"twitch never reached out to me"
Straight up I think the success has gone to Twitch's head. There are so many people who love the site, but I've never heard of the site actually showing appreciation for the creators and steamers that earn them that money. Good on Lud for switching and making that money, and allowing him to focus on more creation rather than padding hours just playing Auto Pets. Good luck buddy
yup they treat their creators like dog shit. You probably get the same respect working in a amazon warehouse lmao
it's probably because they think everyone is just replaceable..
Has twitch even become profitable yet? It's spent most of its time as a website losing money, its been a advertising platform for Amazons other services essentially.
Also for publicly acknowledging
And I don't think they realize how easily youtube could gobble them up if they're not careful. What makes twitch unique is a lot easier to implement than what makes youtube unique to twitch
I think this is a small ripple that could lead to a big wave. If youtube grabbed miz and xqc as well somehow that's a big chunk of twitch culture going to UA-cam
UA-cam already took a big chunk with people like DrDisrespect and Timthetatman
arguably the biggest chunk of twitch, english at least
Oh it will definitely be a big wave, Facebook Gaming and Mixer created small ripples that shook things up, UA-cam could make a tidal wave that will change Twitch forever, we could be seeing the beginning of the end for twitch as we know it now.
I agree, this may end up being the case too, with the way twitch TOS/DMCA is going youtube is looking more and more like the better choice imo
Miz's chat told him that this was the best time ever for him to renegotiate his twitch contract...he looked smug for a bit and said "Ludwig leaving is the best thing that's ever happened to me." Take from that what you will :)

Its weird how such a nice polite statement can be so hurtful.

That really hurts hearing that twitch didn't reach out after the subathon. Looking forward to the future big plans. Something i hope youtube works on is the social aspect of streaming on there platform, I.E. Emotes, raids, gifting memberships(subs) ect.
The H3 podcast has said that they're working on raids or something like it already, with him and probably other content creators they will be forced to implement such changes faster
Gifted subs, raiding (live redirect), are confirmed coming early next year. Drops are also in the works. I've also been hearing rumblings of a UA-cam Premium/Red equivalent of a Twitch Prime but that hasn't yet been confirmed.

This turned out to be the best decision Ludwig could have made. Twitch is falling the fuck apart, our boy jumped ship at the best possible time.
Twitch really reinforced the idea that they don’t give a shit about their content creators by cutting everyone pay.
and yet his newest video on Mogul Mail is "Twitch is better than UA-cam" LMAOOO
and he just did what he said he would, held the biggest smash tournament ever.
@@neptune434 and did it again, this time with boxing in the mix!
Yep, this totally aged well. Twitch is at its endgame now.
The way Ludwig makes videos are more oriented toward UA-cam than Twitch. His Millionaire Mogul game for instance would thrive more on UA-cam
he streams on twitch so obviously his vids on youtube are catered towards youtube
@@alexkauffer3446 i dont think that makes any sense . because if it was streamed on twitch its more catered to twitch
@@alexkauffer3446 His youtube videos are primarily edited down vods from twitch. His content fits youtube as a platform more

It’s not selfish to want some attention from twitch itself, it’s just human of you. Proud of you for making a decision and I’m so excited to see the future of Ludwig streams and content :)
holy shit i remember watching your gd content way back when. all the best to you ❤️
I think all of these "exclusive platform deals" for streamers are fucking stupid to begin with. Its bad for the streamer, its bad for the content creator, its bad for the viewer, and its ONLY good for the multi-billion dollar companies. The fact that THIS video of ludwig has to exist is pretty stupid, mans had to flip a coin to decide what platform to stream on.....
@@DaFifaKid shut up bro. Bad for the steamer? They get millions and get have more freedom to play what they want. Like Ludwig said he has more creative control and doesn’t have to grind so many hours. Plus they don’t have to worry about analytics of leaving for. A vacation.
Bad for the viewer? Both twitch and UA-cam are free.
@@DaFifaKid even Ludwig said he could do better quality stuff as he doesn’t have to grind so he can produce better content. He doesn’t have to waste hours doing reactions videos
@@edwardlomeli5657 and this is a defense of exclusivity deals being bad how...?
that's insane that you told that dude to shut up for criticizing two big companies but your only defense is "moving platforms is good for ludwig" like that contradicts his point at all
Damn when he said twitch didnt even hit em up after the subathon, made me think of all the times youtube be contacting/rewarded and letting their creators know. "Hey we appreciate your crazy work."
Yeah, they even donated to team trees
Yeh and remember all the content creators they’ve pushed under the rug, or nuked monetarily. Or the huge anti consumer changes to the likes to be more corporate friendly, UA-cam is growing to maybe be the biggest, but by far not the best.
dont they send plaques for 100k subs? like subs are free and lud got almost 300k PAID SUBS, unbelievable.
@@xXNIDSXx Yes, definitely. UA-cam is not the best by a mile but they try to engage with their creators in a much better way than Twitch does
@@AguilarSquared So what is the best platform then?
7:47 When I heard this, I thought of an old job I had. I loved the field I was in. I was comfortable. Yet one day, I was offered a large salary elsewhere, so I did the same as you and went to both companies regarding the matter. The company I worked hard for for 2 years, repeatedly exceeded expectations, showed up every day, gave my life to, gave me that exact same line. All the while the other company offered me more to get me to consider it. That kicked me in the chest. I had tears in my eyes as I walked out of that office. I was leaving a company where I was recognized as one of their best employees, and they wouldn't even consider asking me to stay. I made the right decision, and I hope this is what's best for you as well. Make them Mogul Moves bro.
this reminds me of my mom who recently switched jobs after more than 20 years in her company. she felt super underappreciated when her old company wouldn't even consider ways to fix what was making her consider leaving in the first place. said bye bye and is now in a new environment :)
This makes so much sense, one of the most important factors when you have a job is to feel important and needed at your work place, feeling that what you do is appreciated. Knowing that they don't just replace you and want to right to keep you.

After interacting with you and meeting some of your editing team, and getting more involved in watching your content I gotta say…
You’re going to absolutely murk this platform, (not that you haven’t been already) and although it is quite a bit more lonely I feel like you’ve done so much work on the backend of networking on twitch that those connections will still pull through and hang out with you.
You’re an extremely entertaining and well-meaning person and I think UA-cam, bigger ideas, more focus on content quality and less of a continuous grind will be an entirely new era.

You keep doing you boss, you're a content beast.
The only streamer that’s made the change so far that could make me follow. The man is a legend and if he could accomplish all he did with the limitations Twitch put on him, imagine what kind of cool shit he can do with UA-cam.
honestly, and lud has spoken about this, i feel there’s very little growth because of twitch. like most growth comes from other platform so as long as you link to where you stream then like it doesn’t matter if the platform is youtube or twitch
as long as youtube has emote plugins like twitch, and improves they discoverability like having a dedicated livestream section, yeah I see youtube winning in the long run
UA-cam chat is fucking cancer rly
I have a feeling UA-cam will be the dominant streaming platform eventually, Lud made a good choice.
Twitch should feel absolutely ashamed of themselves for making you feel unwanted. Best of luck Lud, can’t wait to see you keep going up!
This is far and away the biggest takeaway from it. Twitch lost one of their biggest streamers of all time because they refused to improve for their content creators and viewers.

Yeah and I think it's indicative of how much of a traditional corporation Twitch has become (not saying UA-cam isn't), they don't really care about their earners they just care about their bottom line. Business is business and Twitch does not care enough to fight for the creators, and they don't have to because the massive streamers will usually stay anyway.

Aonair hello!!
It’s pretty clear that Twitch feels like they’re (and i guess is at the moment) untouchable while UA-cam is actively trying to knock them off. Once UA-cam cleans up some of their features and grabs a few more streamers, Twitch will probably start to fall off + ratio + L. I’m glad you got on that call with UA-cam and that they fought to get you. It may feel like leaving your comfort zone but imo that’s where you get to grow the most.
Also that Otto extension is huge considering UA-cam’s dumb username link to your email
Also don’t feel lonely you have Rae (for at least 2 months until her contract expires pepelaugh)
you fell of+ratio+L+ the hood listens to stanz now
Hopefully Rae re-ups. No one else will pay more than YT except FB. But fb's platform is such an abomination
IDK some people are comfortable to twitch. I love UA-cam but YT is easy to distract me from videos but compare to going to Twitch I can go into my fave streamer easily.
Hard part is youtube can't compete with twitch culture. Twitch chat is a whole different beast. I don't even feel like typing in youtube chats.

@@RedzeeTV it's not okay to mistreat your workers just because you pay them millions of dollars.

Ludwig is definitely better suited for larger projects because he has the personality for a good host.
I have seen a few episodes of Mogul Money and it was really fun.
For what it's worth, I think you're making the right decision.
Mogul Money and the other cool shit you make is top tier content and I'll be real, it's the content I subbed to your channel for, and it's the only content I reliably come back for. Sure I watch a stream or two here and there, but that's not content that makes me excited. I don't go to twitch like _"Oh boy, sure can't wait to watch Ludwig casually play a game while shooting the breeze with chat."_ but instead it's just something to play in the background while I do my own shit. But the other content, that's worth everything, and if this means more of that then I can only see it as a good thing not just for me, not just for you in terms of enjoying and being proud of what you do, but for the channel as a whole.
I sincerely wish you nothing but the best, Ludwig. And never forget that we all came here to watch the stuff _you_ wanted to make, so doing what you think is best will always be the right choice.
I was so worried and bummed out about losing my sub badge and the emotes when i heard you were going to youtube. After watching this video I'm super excited about the switch and really happy for you man. Glad you made the right decision.
"It sounds so selfish, right?!"
Not even fkn close. Your life so live it and get the approval we all need whether we admit it or not. Good on ya, and good luck!
I believe happier content creators make better content, so if I'm correct this is also better for us.

Casual Pepper?
The „Twitch extension“ for UA-cam actually makes me a bit excited about this move…
Because one bad thing about UA-cam streaming is definitely the lack of Culture.
As a viewer, it just doesn’t feel like your own little world with no good emotes, common memes or inside jokes but it seems like that could be fixed by this extension.
The one thing I still dislike about this it that it always feels like part of the culture of twitch is falling apart with every big streamer leaving the website. It also sucks that this all comes down to mistakes on twitch‘s part like not fighting for their creators and being, in general, what seems like a horrible company with weird guidelines, policies and decisions, making other websites more attractive from the get go.
UA-cam has its same weird guidelines and policies but the one thing that makes a difference is that youtube understands its a bigger company and having a connection with the creators that will bring you success or has brought you success is important even if its just a plaque for 100k-1mil its the idea that goes a lot longer of a way than doing nothing the way twitch has and they have been failing with that aspect for a long time
Bttv has support for YT now.
I watch a few UA-cam streamers and they actually do have their own UA-cam emotes but their not site-wide they're specific to the channel. It'd be cool if they made emotes available from any channel on any other

This is a great video that shows just how genuine a creator can be. Can’t wait to see how your journey goes on over the years.
I feel like this is the most heartfelt we can see Ludwig, he is so open right now. I hope this switch to youtube does not change the content stream too much, it would be a shame to lose things like TikTok Time, the Reddit Re, You Laugh You Lose, etc.
"They're not gonna help me make the shit I wanna make."
No, but they expect you, and people like you, to help them instead. You said you like the culture at Twitch, but the culture at Amazon will soon take over and it won't resemble anything like what we used to love about the platform. Succeed or fail, you made the right choice.

Amazon ? 🤣 ya ight
@@ItsUzele amazon owns twitch so yes…
Amazon has already taken over and a LOT of Twitch people have left.
Ludwig: “I love twitch. But it hasn’t been a two-way street”
Twitch: “I am not your friend”
Finally, our revenge
He predicted the future and made the best decision ever to leave Twitch
Like Tim said when he switched, you went from being a big fish in a lake to a medium sized fish in an ocean. But fear shouldn't keep you from following your dreams and being with those who care about you and want to help. I'm happy for the switch to UA-cam. They seem genuinely interested in their streamers and how to help them unlike twitch.
UA-cam cares about creators about as much as Twitch, they only really care about having them for the publicity and money.
@@espy9244 They have a stranglehold on internet videos, they don't really need to care much about publicity.
Are you saying youtube is a bigger streaming platform than twitch? I dont know anyone who watches streamers on youtube lol sorry
That said, UA-cam as a platform has been dunking on content creators since like 2011. Not to be the pessimistic dude but most likely the reason they fought for Lud was because they knew he would make them money instead of that whole, "we're not colleagues, we're a family" narrative
@@bigsleepy9889 It has a much larger userbase than twitch. The active viewerbase of Livestreams is higher on twitch, but the lack of care that twitch has for a lot of it's creators means that UA-cam could become a serious competitor very soon. And picking up creators like Ludwig only helps
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." My man is about to take off like never before. Congrats Lud

I love this transparency. Super genuine and awesome. I don’t have to hope for youtube to give you any sort of boost, because you already got that. Rather, I hope YOU can give youtube the boost to their streaming side.
Hell nah, I mean I am happy for the guy but fuck UA-cam. "Wtf are you doing here then?" Well that's the problem, there is no other place like UA-cam if you get me.
@@winterwolf343 and there wont be since google is pretty much what everyone is using on a daily basis
@@dualvoid8223 Google? I am talking about UA-cam, and yes if there was a better platform than UA-cam I would imagine almost everyone would go there. UA-cam is ruining their own site, if they continue then their is no doubt a competitor will show up and beat UA-cam. Keep in mind I am talking about this "newish" UA-cam, not when the site was in its prime years.

@@missbeaussie not rlly just have to work with streamers on their hours bruh its not always about money
Twitch's biggest content-creator: I'm leaving Twitch because they wanted me to work an insane amount of hours and they showed very little respect or appreciation for me.
Twitch: Oh, that sucks. Anyways, hey userbase, can you work 200+ hours a month for us for less money than what you were making before and also push more ads? Thx.
Twitch: why are guys leaving me?
Ludwig, this was beautifully put. The way you are so open with your audience is why we enjoy your content so much. We'll follow you wherever you go. o7
Great decision Lud, not only did you stand up for your own goal, these kind of videos and great content creators leaving the platform will/should be an incentive for Twitch to change their ways as well. Thus improving the situation for all streamers :)
So, basically the entire reason for leaving twitch was: "It's not about the money Mr. Bezos, it's about sending a message."
Still weird that Twitch didn't even try to keep you. You would think they would hold on to their whales with an iron grip. How many more are they going to let go before they start to lose out on new viewers?
Twitch has shown it really doesn’t care about its creators with the way it treats them along with the radio silence certain creators receive from the platform. Look at dr disrespect like…
I think they’re arrogant in thinking they’re ahead of the game so they think they’ll eventually come crawling back. Like that Mixer and Facebook thing. Honestly, from my own experience as a viewer, UA-cam’s layout and options are better than Twitch now. Twitch is ahead in game interaction from what I’m aware but UA-cam can catch up. And it’s UA-cam which usually pushes a creator to bigger heights through the algorithm recommended and larger audiences (clips and edited videos doing the leg work). Twitch needs to see it’s starting to lag behind and that what it’s offering in terms of viewership, contracts, and creativity isn’t competitive enough. Any streamers that do bigger projects are likely to jump to UA-cam if they get offered the same.
I don’t watch live, so the streams I do watch are vods for like Teo and Chilled Chaos and those are on UA-cam. UA-cam doesn’t really separate it’s live and video notifications that I’ve seen so I’d be more likely to catch Ludwig live if he was on UA-cam (and I did for the recent Mogul Money). Ludwig has a great concept for livestreaming gameshows with chat interaction. It incentivises seeing it live and participating, which then generates donos and subs from more live viewers likely to partake in that.
That’s why ludwig is right about twitch not caring about streamers
It's funny when streamers wanna act entitled.
@@ImperiaGin Ikr
"twitch doesn't make me feel respected, liked or wanted"
Holy shit it is a real job!
To be fair, unlike a lot of streamers, Ludwig is a UA-cam guy, he's always focussed on making content for UA-cam videos as oppose to some other streamers that have editors that rip stuff from the VOD and reupload. This is a move that I'm not actually disappointed with, congrats to Ludwig for the move :)
Yeye he's a content creator wether streaming on twitch or yt
Ludwig also reuploads vod clips
Yeah, he’s the Top 10 Salty Ice Climber Moments guy
He’s a true content creator unlike most twitch streamers sadly
@@MFFLRicky oh yeah he definitely constantly comes up with new ideas, concepts, and craziness
From what I've heard UA-cam gaming seems like they have much more accommodating and practical work flow than twitch or even the corporate decisions UA-cam makes, so good luck on the move, and have fun!
I always watched his UA-cam videos and rarely watched him on twitch, but since he is fully on UA-cam I will definitely be watching his streams from now on. Very excited for this new chapter in luds life. Congrats Ludwig, have a nice one.
Same!
I’m in the same spot! I’m a dedicated YT frog
@@ErikPelyukhno Twitch fell off, the hood watches UA-cam now
I fucking screamed when you said you flipped the coin.
It's been around two years or so since I started watching you, but time sure flies by, and we get more busy as we grow up, so I'm not really up to date with what's happening on streams.
You have always been a big inspiration for me and seeing you make such a brave and hard decision is breathtaking, and again - inspiring. I even shed a couple of tears for you.✊🏻
I think your future on youtube is already secured for you.
I wish you the best, Lud. Everything will be alright.
I almost teared up watching this
I did😢
Oof, acting like the man's dead
Cry
Why
Yeah almost is right
its always nice to see someone so "extra" show true emotion. Everyone has your back Lud! congrats and Good luck!

Hey ludwig, I just wanted you to know that this is the first time I related to any content creator. I am going through a career change at the moment and I start my new career on Monday. This has helped me more than you know. I had this huge decision in my life and I thought that my life was over and I'd never become something of myself. But seeing this video made me realize that this is my path and I had made the right choice. You also made the right choice because this is your path in life. And you are made to do great things (which you already have, but you have not peaked yet). Thank you for helping me. You are helping me through a lull in my life and I know I don't only speak for myself. Sorry I am drunk but what I said stands.
Edit: I've been drinking so I fixed a ton of spelling errors
"I lose chat, I lose the love I have for streaming." Ludwig, we're here with you and for you all the way 💚
Really sorry Twitch didn’t value you as much as you truly deserve, but I’m really excited to see how you continue to grow & thrive on UA-cam instead. Here’s to the new era, LFG!
With UA-cam's record, don't you think YT is gonna fuck him over? I mean, YT doesn't give a fuck about Pewdiepie for example.
@@dudeimdudely7477 that is so not true lol. If only you watch him everyday ud know.
@@SiBebok I watched him everyday for quite a while and he talked, quite discrete, about monetization and such. It’s a common fact YT doesn’t give a shit about their partners, their algorithms and automated systems decide the fate of YTers content
@@dudeimdudely7477 yeah, youtube audience generally doesn't watch long content compared to twitch. But he will get new viewers which may help
@@dudeimdudely7477 He doesn't have to worry about that he has a contract to stream on youtube which is probably an 8 figure deal.
Man, I have been watching Lud for a few years and he has always gave chat the feeling of being close and let chat experience things WITH him, but this felt very close and vulnerable, and that is beautiful. We're proud of you Lud, you have a achieved so much and there is nothing that can stop you from achieving more and bigger things.
Ludwig7
-Chat, Your fellow LudBuds
But always remember, we are not his friend
Now we can watch Ludwig without him farming primes every 15 minutes.
he gonna be farmin channel members now dawg
@@stoopidoh1104 don't forget superchats
@@popburnsy3207 dont forget yt subs
If I remember right, some beta youtube premium people are getting free channel memberships, soon he will farm those memberships like crazy
@@stoopidoh1104 yeah but there isnt as much as a sub culture on youtube
Ludwig pulled out the future sight with this move, with the recent events his moves was so big brained
I'm so happy to hear that Lud's hopping over to a platform that'll treat him with respect. Watching him grow as not just a streamer, but as a person for these past couple years that I've been watching him has been amazing, and it always hurt to see how much Twitch snubbed his whole ass existence. The Ludbuds will always be around to hype you up king o7
The fact that UA-cam cared enough to allow last minute changes in an attempt to convince him if it came to it. While Twitch treats him like he is just another one despite the way his name is attached to their brand, it is a major indicator he made the right choice.
Twitch, as a platform, doesn't seem to believe that they're dependent on big content creators.
While UA-cam is steadily realizing that they need content creators to thrive.
Have never ever watched any of this guys' content, but this was interesting. Good Luck brother!
no better time to become a Ludbud than now I guess, if you liked this one, he has many other storytime videos you should check out first. Start with "Why I regret going to Las Vegas with QTCinderella". Dude's amazingly gifted at telling stories
His youtube channel is fire. I started only watching his streams, but after discovering his yt channel...he was made for yt.
This comment is gold
You should check out his story time videos, like his “How I Accidentally…” series. Phenomenal storytelling, incredible charisma while interacting with chat and IRL. Plus his editors are insanely talented and help with the story telling
Honestly a good move. I feel like UA-cam saw what you could offer to their platform and twitch didn’t see/care about that value. In my opinion, Twitch needs to get their shit together because a lot of streamers seems to feel the same way after reacting to this video. If they don’t get their shit together more big streamers will most likely migrate.
stupid bots above
Yep, i totally agree. I cant wait what ludwig has in store for us in the future
I think moving to UA-cam was the best thing you could have done looking back on it now, I don’t like going to twitch, I went there once and I didn’t like how it worked so I’m really glad you moved to UA-cam because that enables me to watch your streams !
me who goes to twitch just to watch the guys i FOUND on youtube lmao
@@surfersunknown lol
he's join the youtube frogs now, he has evolved
From Twitch tadpole to UA-cam frog, a great evolution
UA-cam frogs are the ones laughing now
Yassss
As a UA-cam frog, I'm so happy about this. I'm sure the guys at twitch are nice and everything but my goodness, they treat you awfully. Ill be there to catch the streams. Big love man.
As someone who only watches your content on UA-cam, I can't wait to see more of you
Same brother.
fr i only watch his yt vids
well shit, he dodged a fucking bullet
Right??
In all the years of my life, i will say that "the best decision is always the hardest one". Been a Ludwig yt frog for morethan 2 years now and i wish him all the best with whatever venture he pursues.

@@jr-si3vf Congrats on two years, King!
Sometimes the right decision is the easyer one tho
So excited for this new chapter in Ludwigs career, glad he made the decision that’ll make him the happiest in his career
Pretty wild to take the dive away from the comfort of twitch, hyped to see how it goes
as a viewer i like twitch as a plattform where you can see which channels are live on the side, they way chat works, clipping, and sorting by category, prime subs and cause most people are on twitch. youtube i love for the live player cause you can just rewind and speed up to catch up, it's annoying you can't just go back on twitch and have to load the vod if you missed a moment. and i like that youtube keeps all the vods. so i don't really care what plattform my fav cc's stream from as long as they're happy. i think it was a good decision for lud, i think his community will find a way to watch him on yt. it makes so much sense for him to switch, being valued and getting a better deal? hell i'd take it in a heartbeat. staying loyal and comfortable in that context would just work against his aspirations.
We UA-cam frogs are 110% excited for this change. I can’t wait for the big things that you continue to produce
Just in general in terms of job hunting and negotiation, it sounds like you’re on a path for new healthy growth! So excited for this new chapter and I hope you feel as big of a welcome on YT that you were hoping for!
Love the transparency Ludwig, and honestly I’m not surprised. Everybody knows that the community is what keeps it going but it feels like the company itself hasn’t made a right decision in a while
i remember watching you when you were really deep into smash bros and over the years you’ve grown so much! i’ll always continue to support you and look forward to what the future has in store :))
Lud is so clever making another channel for this to hit algo
This is his advice channel he just changed the name
@@GKfromNJ That's blatantly false, Ludwin Clips is still a channel
@@JudahDeNose alright but that doesn't change the fact that this channel used to be the advice channel. Look at the past videos lmao
@@JudahDeNose yeah he has 4 channels,main,vods,clips,advice
@@honewalker549 ahh, so its like his version of theweeklyslap, nice
Bro, trust me: you're making the right decision. I had the same shit happen to me at my last job. Had they literally just approached me and asked if I wanted a job on base (I was a contractor), I would've jumped immediately. However, they reached out to what felt like everyone else because they thought they could keep me as a contractor. Well, I hopped over to Boeing very quickly after that and moved halfway across the country because they offered me literally 2k off of the maximum of the range I gave them. Sometimes, you just gotta go where you're wanted even if the people you work with are fantastic and the job is easy where you are.
I will 100% be watching your streams on UA-cam. Best of luck.
UA-cam now just makes sense, they improved the streaming side of their platform a lot since they first implemented it, a lot of people are finding twitch streams through youtube content anyways. I think the number of Ludwig viewers that exclusively watched on twitch is miniscule if it even exists, so I do think the switch will be relatively painless and if it brings forth more of the cool shit like The Yard, Mogul Money, etc. it is definitely worth it.
This is a business after all, and irl people change companies all the time to get better pay, benefits whatever, this is no different.
I look forward to seeing what you have in store for us in the coming months :)
The only issue with UA-cam streaming is how garbage the rest of the content is across the board. It's infinitely more barren than Twitch right now.
@@samt3412 The stream content on UA-cam is just like the content you find Twitch; there is a diverse amount of streams that can range from shit to phenomenal. But youtube needs to make some improvements to their streams in order to hold a candle to Twitch's steams.
The Actual Emotion that went into this shows everything, please do what you love we will enjoy every second of it! your not alone we are all here to stay Ludwig. Stay Mogul :)
The effort into doing that extension means soooooo much, thanks for making it easy on us I don’t wanna lose this community
