Ludwig says his YouTube contract has ended and he is unsure about going back to Twitch

Streamer Ludwig Ahgren began streaming exclusively on YouTube on November 30, 2021, following a major exclusivity deal with YouTube Gaming. This move marked his transition from Twitch, where he had built a significant following and achieved notable milestones (such as breaking the record for most subscribers during his famous "subathon" earlier that year).

Now, in December 2024, Ludwig seems to be in a dilemma. According to him, his contract with YouTube has come to an end and he seems unsure about going back to his roots on Twitch:

"Honestly, unsure if I’ll stay on YouTube, go back to Twitch, or multi-stream. I’m very proud of what I was able to do on YouTube for the past 3 years."

In an X post on December 6, 2024, Ahgren spoke on his dilemma, stating he is faced with three options — to continue streaming on YouTube and potentially renew his contract, go back to Twitch where he has over 3.2 million followers, or maybe get the best of both worlds and multistream.

He also thanked his supporters for sticking around during his three-year journey on YouTube. Over these years, Ludwig has organized a slew of successful events that went live on both YouTube and Twitch. A prime example of this was his Streamer Games held in August 2024, which incorporated streamers from different platforms in Olympic-style athletic events.

"One of the first big streams... is going to be on Twitch": Ludwig speaks on a potential December streaming event on Twitch

It should be noted that the streamer has been active on Twitch recently as well.

In November 2024, he hosted the "LACS Rivals" Twitch event. This was a special installment of the Ludwig Ahgren Championship Series (LACS), organized by Ludwig, focused on Super Smash Bros. Melee.

In his last YouTube stream on November 26, 2024, before his contract ended, the streamer revealed an upcoming Twitch event, organized on his Twitch channel:

"One of the first big streams I'm going to be doing in the month of December, is going to be on Twitch."

After this, when asked about making a switch to controversial platforms like Kick or Rumble, he said that streaming on those websites isn't particularly his cup of tea:

"Some people sign to Rumbles or Kicks, but I'm not really interested in that."

In the past, Ludwig openly criticized the behavior of certain streamers on Kick, stating that the platform has issues with "bad actors" who harm its credibility. He specifically referenced inappropriate conduct by Kick streamers at TwitchCon, reinforcing his view that Kick needs significant reforms, to be taken seriously as a competitor to the likes of Twitch.
