Ludwig Ahgren, the Twitch streamer who set a global record for the most subscribers with over 3.1 Million followers, has quit the platform and will now be streaming exclusively on YouTube Gaming.
Ludwig Leaves Twitch
Ludwig reached the subscriber milestone at the end of a protracted 31-day streaming event that started on March 14 and lasted far too long.
In the process, he broke Tyler "Ninja" Blevins' previous record.
Ryan Wyatt, the head of YouTube Gaming, revealed the shift earlier today in a tweet.

As Ludwig leaves Twitch, his own statement was a little less diplomatic, as per Kotaku, as he posted a video in which his purple car that symbolized Twitch, explodes and he hops in a red car, which characterizes YouTube to get home and discuss music streaming rights as the clip ends.
The move is perhaps a little vague to the audience, given that he built his entire business on Twitch, but understandable given the platform's recent problems, particularly with copyright.
YouTube has long thrown money at producers to sign them to exclusive arrangements, trying to erode Twitch's dominance in the streaming industry by attracting big names.

According to The Verge, the Twitch streamer Ludwig will debut on YouTube Gaming, which is a rival to the content creator's former home, today, November 30.
Ludwig's presence on Twitch will be felt for a long time.
As Ludwig leaves twitch, he has established 1.1 million followers on Twitter. On YouTube, though, he will not be starting from scratch, as he already has 2.1 million subscribers.
Furthermore, Ludwig AHgren isn't the only Twitch streamer that left the platform.
Ben "DrLupo" Lupo and Tim "TimTheTatMan" Betar, who made the switch from Twitch to YouTube in August and September, respectively, are the most recent streamers to do so.
In 2019, YouTube added Jack "CouRage" Dunlop and Rachell "Valkyrae" Hofstetter, who both announced on November 23 that they would be staying on the site.
