Twitch's golden boy has just said goodbye to the platform after many years of streaming and good times. Ludwig Ahgren has just posted a video on Twitter that, at first glance, may seem strange, but which comes with unexpected news from the streamer. He is leaving Twitch for one of his main competitors, namely Youtube.

In the video, we see the streamer driving a purple car that obviously represents Twitch. In it, Ludwig is having a good time until finally, the car explodes. So, in the parking lot, the streamer turns to a brand new red car that represents Youtube, in which he decides to get in to continue his adventures. At the end of the video, he does not fail to gently tackle Twitch by announcing that he would not have a copyright problem by playing music on Youtube unlike Twitch.
The undisputed king of the subathon
If the name Ludwig Ahgren is not unknown to you, it is perhaps thanks to his subathon which lasted an entire month. At the end of it, the streamer had managed to beat the subscription record which stood at 283066. This is the content creator who brought in the most money to Twitch during this period. And yet, the breakup does not seem to have been on good terms.
In a video published on Youtube, the streamer announces the different reasons that pushed him to leave his favorite platform, the one associated with his name and identity since always. Several reasons are then mentioned: a lack of reciprocity and unsuccessful negotiations. He declares: "I love Twitch. I really like it. But YouTube made more sense to me».
He explains that during the negotiations, the contracts offered by Twitch and YouTube were pretty much the same, which is what initially pushed him to continue with Twitch. However, YouTube has shown the strength of his motivation to get the streamer back by offering him more money for fewer hours worked, as well as better creative conditions. Twitch, on the other hand, has never shown the slightest sign of attachment to the creator, even though he was one of the pillars for the company.
On Twitter, Ludwig's fans support him almost 100%, and also denounce Twitch's treatment of its golden boy, which seems to be akin to ingratitude. The streamer is not the only one to have left the platform, and he succeeds DrLupo and TimTheTatMan who also turned to Youtube.
