This was a super surprising move but I’m really excited to see what types of cool content you’ll be able to make with it
YOOOOO I
EazySpeezy watches Ludwig let’s go!
EazySpeezy Can you speedrun making a KZhead video thanks love the vids
@@liberalcitydweller real fans know Speezy got his start (kinda) because of Lud
dude u should speedrun baking something
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 KZhead
KZhead 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, KZhead 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 :)
"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
"We wish you the best" Ouch. Lud you made the right call. Excited to see what the future holds for ya!
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.
Maybe if he became a hot tub streamer
Its weird how such a nice polite statement can be so hurtful.
Someone definitely got under heat after that, messed up lol
"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 KZhead. You're awesome Lud, I hope I can stream the way you do sometime. Stay awesome!
Good take bro
@@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 KZhead partnerships respect Lud
Really good analogy
exactly. i agree
Well said
When Lud's relationship with twitch is parasocial
lol
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.
@@xRedNationx who hurt you
@@xRedNationx lol, everybody watching!!!!!! But not me..... Not me ok! Ahahah that's fuuuunnnyy!
@@xRedNationx ur right tho
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 KZhead" 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.
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 :)
"Now I'm a youtube gaming streamer..." "And I don't even play games!" this convinced me that he made the right decision
?????
@@proxile_ i think youtube only have gaming section for stream unlike irl section on twitch
@@Ansh77K yeah i know but saying this was the right decision is bullshit, this was a bad decision
@@proxile_ bad decision how?
@@itscrab9124 twitch is better for streaming end of story, i only say it's bad because he did it for a bag, no loyalty, but who cares it's my opinion
The way Ludwig makes videos are more oriented toward KZhead than Twitch. His Millionaire Mogul game for instance would thrive more on KZhead
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
@Daniel Moulton he streamed on Twitch and then edited the streams and upploaded them to youtube
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 KZhead as a platform and wish you all the best 👏🏻 can’t wait to see the melee tournament.
Are you trans?
I personally don't think it was a smooth transition but idc.
@@ILoveWhenTurkeyHasEarthquakes2 yes transformer
“KZhead’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
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 KZhead. Hope you keep killing it, Ludwig.
Wow 1000 likes and no replies
@@Coldrramen you ruined it >:(
poor thing they made you rich and didnt give u a pat on the back.give back all the money then if your so hurt
@@SpaceRanger187 Yeah but he made them more money than he got in return.
@@SpaceRanger187 Its kinda sad if youre the kinda guy that thinks money is everything...
“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.
Very true
Honestly I wasn't a huge fan of this comment, but I saw it was at 999 likes so I said screw it, I'll help a homie out, and pushed it to 1k
He just taps the stop streaming button endlessly til' he dies lmfao
@@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"
@@YasuSauce thanks for supporting the hustle my dude! 💪💪 Link to my patreon down below!
"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....
This oddly sounds similar to victims from abusive relationships realizing how toxic their previous relationship was. All the best big Lud
Now that you mentioned yeah. There's a lot, but the only con for youtube being that Lud would feel alone, damn that sounds like breakup.
Yeah and I think it's indicative of how much of a traditional corporation Twitch has become (not saying KZhead 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 KZhead. 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.
That’s a horrendous comparison, get where you are coming from
"I hope this was cohesive" *the most thoughtful and understanding talk of emotions and reasoning I've ever heard*
Did… he mean “coherent?”
@@lartisteautravail no, cohesive
@@stackerv8617 That word doesn’t really make sense in that context.
@@lartisteautravail no, it does lol
@@lartisteautravail Cohesive could be argued to make sense, but it is most likely he meant Coherent
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 KZhead Premium/Red equivalent of a Twitch Prime but that hasn't yet been confirmed.
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?
Look how the turn tables. One could argue that Lud is now the face of KZhead streaming & he's helping to lead a revolution in the KZhead streaming space.
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 KZhead 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
His transparency with his audience is why he will always be one of the best
This
bullshit

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.
I was always told, “if you’re scared of doing something, that’s even more of a reason to do it” You’re on the right path, I believe it 100%

nah he just wanted money lol
@@twdcofficial7691 did you watch the video..?
@@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. KZhead is strictly worse than twitch and everyone knows that.
@Regome his first stream he was banned in the first 5 minutes LOL WHAT
You deserve to feel appreciated by the platform you put all this time and effort into. Excited to see what you and YT do together!
He just escaped Twitch before the sh*tshow. This man is a visionary
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.
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, KZhead 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. KZhead 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?
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 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.
It’s pretty clear that Twitch feels like they’re (and i guess is at the moment) untouchable while KZhead is actively trying to knock them off. Once KZhead 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 KZhead 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 KZhead’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 KZhead 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.
lol

@@surfersunknown lol
He predicted the future and made the best decision ever to leave Twitch
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.
if you want the twitch atmosphere, then why dont you have a twitch account?
@@justarandomguy3969 twitch is garbage to use from a viewer perspective. I use twitch everyday and you get so used to how good the KZhead 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 KZhead is great for split screen but twitch just gives you a middle finger
@@slashbat2375 Yeah twitch isn't fun to navigate at all
@@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
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.

"I lose chat, I lose the love I have for streaming." Ludwig, we're here with you and for you all the way 💚
This video landed on my recommendations, and I’m in a situation just like Ludwig. I’m scared to make a decision but I feel like this video not only helped me; it helped me respect you even more and admire your decisions. Keep it up 👍🏼
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
100%, sounds like a great decision
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 KZhead, 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

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 :)
Wow, never seen him stream but his youtube clips of being honest really makes me admire the guy as a person on the internet.
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
No comments? *Megamind meme*
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.
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 :))
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.
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
@@user-uu6dr3mm3d No one is falling for your shitty spam broooooo

I've been trying to get myself set up in streaming, and...while the thing holding me back currently is just donations, essentially, confusion about setting all that up, aaaaaaaand....audio problems.... Listening to you talk about all of this, and talk about how Twitch and KZhead are as a whole, to you, and learning gradually how Twitch has treated people....I'm just doing a bunch of thinking. I want to do this. I just don't know how I'm going to make things work. So I guess...Thank you for the advice, and for the insight here. I've watched a lot of these videos relating to Twitch/KZhead/streaming/content creation just to see some insight from a regular creator about what's happening when they're off of the livestream and away from their audience for a bit. Still trying to figure out how exactly I'm gonna make this work, but I'll do my best. I want to do this. I know I do. But I can't right now. I'll take your advice and your criticisms on things and I'll use it to help myself out. Thanks again.
I hope twitch watches this. Maybe they'll really take this as a lesson on how they treat their streamers.
Lmao no
By giving them salaried 30 millon dollar contracts!
@@RedzeeTV it's not okay to mistreat your workers just because you pay them millions of dollars.
twitch doesn't care and never will care. it's stupid.
I mean youtube doesnt treat their creators good either
The first streamer I will genuinely watch on KZhead. I'm of the opinion that KZhead 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 KZhead.
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
KZhead chat is fucking cancer rly
I have a feeling KZhead will be the dominant streaming platform eventually, Lud made a good choice.
I find it interesting to see big content creators like lud to jump ship on twitch, it truly shows how bad of a connection they have with the people that bring them money
I don’t understand. Are you saying the creators have a bad connection or that twitch has a bad connection?
This felt very heartfelt, more than many of the apology videos that have come out within the past decade. We support you Lud, the frequent viewers, the off and on, and even the ones that come for the clips only, we support it
One of my favorite quotes I heard was “bravery doesn’t mean you don’t get scared. It means you’re scared and you do it anyway”
Eddard Stark?
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!
He has shown he can make great content outside of streaming so this makes a lot of sense for me as a viewer
I used to see recommended videos of Ludwig and thought, “this guy looks like a douche.” But I have grown to like him a lot and this video really had an impact on me emotionally. I learned not to judge a book by its cover. Sorry Lud
Don’t watch you that much but love the content I see when I do. Hearing that Twitch basically just took you for granted makes me kinda furious… I think this is the totally right move, feel good about yourself, you deserve it all! Congrats to you, am looking forward to the awesome content!
"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.

It will not be the same. Iam extremely sceptical.

Right??
Listening to Ludwig always gives me the impression that 'this guy understands the value of time and money.' He understands his worth, and I'm so happy that Ludwig doesn't stand for anything less than what he deserves.
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, KZhead’s layout and options are better than Twitch now. Twitch is ahead in game interaction from what I’m aware but KZhead can catch up. And it’s KZhead 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 KZhead 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 KZhead. KZhead 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 KZhead (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.

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.
Oh for sure. That was incredibly smart to basically just convert it to the same capacity
yea maybe he should say the name of it tho, wtf is the extension name, he just talks about it, but what the fuck is it.
@@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
@@Charizard24682 have you ever used twitch? how do you not know about bttv and ffz?
there is clearly so much emotion in this decision for him and it’s honestly quite moving
So excited for what's to come, Lud! You made an incredible decision that fits for you and hope it gets even better from here
This was so heartfelt and honest. I am actually so excited about the move to KZhead 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 rewind in real time is so huge. Definitely my favorite part of KZhead streams
The real time REWIND is so good
No more making clips just to see what happened 60 seconds ago
But no more “CLIP IT AND SHIP IT” Sadge
if you want to see what happened, you can go to their channel and a vod of the stream from start to the point you left will pop up
"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.
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.
The goddamn RESPECT FOR THIS MANS Good work Lud, know your worth and realize who respects you Just like everyone else trying to make a living, slowly but surely, we will all rise up and claim what is rightfully ours
8 months later, Mad respect love everything you do man everything you've done is +AAA "besides tik tok time" xD love ya dude
Ludwig: “I love twitch. But it hasn’t been a two-way street” Twitch: “I am not your friend”
Finally, our revenge
Lud's goin the Jerma route, making big changes in the way he makes content by leaving an old part of his life behind, and moving forward to a new area, where he can make bigger, better, and more fulfilling content. Wishing all the best to one of the most insane content creators i've ever had the pleasure of witnessing.
This felt so familiar now I realize why. Wonder if he talked to Jerma and if so how much that impacted his decision.
@@SlyTreeRat definitely, he has said múltiple times that he always wanted to create content like him, seeing Jerma make the dollhouse stream and being part of it probably changed his mind
Kind of sad he just left tf2 though used to love him back in the day. Glad Lud isn't leaving the smash scene anytime soon.
reverse jerma
Basically what happened to Filthyfrank
Excited for this new chapter for you Lud, I subbed at twitch for the subathon but mostly enjoyed your content from YT, so glad you're hopping over here < 3 And it's not self absorbed to put priorities on being valued by who you work for and pursuing what you love, not everyone has that opportunity but if anyone is ever in the position they can take that consideration into effect, it goes a long way
Ludwig pulled out the future sight with this move, with the recent events his moves was so big brained
The „Twitch extension“ for KZhead actually makes me a bit excited about this move… Because one bad thing about KZhead 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.
KZhead 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 KZhead streamers and they actually do have their own KZhead 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
@@GE0__ Didn't know that! That's actually gonna increase the viewing experience by a lot imo
“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. ❤️
those youtube guys getting a raise
I mean after seeing ninja went to mixer and then right back to twitch again, twitch feels like they can do whatever
Hard to fight KZhead money

@@missbeaussie not rlly just have to work with streamers on their hours bruh its not always about money
Yay yay welcome to YT. I followed you on Twitch but don’t use it much - will be happy to see you here! Looking forward to more moguleopardy!
I think you made the right decision and by a mile. You belong on KZhead, your big cool shit is going to get more appreciation on KZhead. The fact they fought over you AND the extension (amazing idea) are the cherry on top
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 KZhead instead. Here’s to the new era, LFG!
With KZhead'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.
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.
I really admire your decision Lud! I'm going to be starting to stream again soon once college name and I am debating if I want to build twitch views or youtube views since they could have 2 different audiences. This helps aid in my decision as well even though I am not big in any way but I think that you made the best decision for yourself and it will also help others along the way! Thank you so much for what you do and put in for your content
Everything that isn't a stream makes sense on KZhead so focusing your energy here seems like a great idea. The stuff you do is great and I can't wait to see what will happen from here on!
I was so invested in this story, holy damn, you'd be such a good story teller
He already is
He always tells them, just search
Because it's real life
This joke went over everyone’s head lol
Everyone missed this joke lol
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.
Honestly the last few days I've watched you more than I did on twitch, you're streams don't end because I can see all of your content that you've amassed on this platform. Love to see it.
I've always watched you from KZhead ever since the first Button masher vid. I've always wanted to catch a stream but couldn't. I felt like I wasn't supporting enough. But watching your KZhead vids of you filming everything made me feel so great and happy. You don't need to give a reason for wanting to choose a better life. Because..well it's a better life. Thank you for always being there whenever I was frustrated after work. I will continue to support your greatness. Good luck but I know you you don't need it
To be fair, unlike a lot of streamers, Ludwig is a KZhead guy, he's always focussed on making content for KZhead 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
@@Edwardlunagarcia oh yeah he definitely constantly comes up with new ideas, concepts, and craziness
“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

8:52, this touched me a lot, thank you for your words. I wanna start streaming myself but im quite scared... but i guess" its crazy not to do something cuz your scared" thank you...and goodluck.
Dang I'm glad I clicked on this video, I am in a similar position as you were when deciding what to do, this video helped me out a lot, thanks bro
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 KZhead. They seem genuinely interested in their streamers and how to help them unlike twitch.
KZhead 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, KZhead 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 KZhead could become a serious competitor very soon. And picking up creators like Ludwig only helps
its always nice to see someone so "extra" show true emotion. Everyone has your back Lud! congrats and Good luck!

Good on you and I respect the decision, although I feel KZhead only fought for you so they could grow their KZhead gaming/streaming side. PewDiePie being one of the biggest KZheadrs, but they didn't really give the respect he should've gotten like when his KZhead show was canceled. At the end of the day, they're both just huge corporations. Same shit. Talking about the streaming side though, I dislike KZhead streams (FOR NOW), because almost everything sucks on it. Chat sucks because it always lags, chat culture from YT and Twitch are different, streams are known to lag on YT's end, no gifted subs, no raids, no emotes from other content creators, and no TTV emotes or animated emote. That aside the best thing from KZhead is a WAY better access to keeping and organizing VODs as well as rewinding a stream WHILE it's live.
Lud you deserve everything you’ve worked for and it’s been awesome to see your growth can’t wait to see what you got cooking up
