YouTube Steamer Ludwig Sets New "World Record" - Manages to get banned in just 90 seconds

For most streamers, being banned is a big problem. They lose important income or, in the case of a perma ban, they have to start over on a new platform. YouTube star Ludwig Ahgren (27) now specifically aimed for a block.

Who is the person you are talking about?

Bans are also not uncommon among the competition from Twitch – for some streamers they were even the decisive factor in switching to YouTube.

The 5 biggest Twitch bans that caused quite a stir

What ban is it? The YouTuber Ludwig specifically aimed for a ban in a stream on September 12th. His goal was to get banned within 90 seconds. In December 2021, he had already managed to get banned from Twitch to YouTube just 3 days after moving.

How did Ludwig provoke the latest ban? After a brief consultation with his viewers, the streamer started a timer and got going. Ludwig’s strategy was to find copyrighted material on YouTube and share it with thousands of his viewers.

After several failed attempts with Taylor Swift, K-Pop and the catchy tune “Babyshark”, Ludwig had his first success with attempt number 4 and received a copyright warning.

On the fifth try, Ludwig finally found the winning combination: He treated his viewers to the Naturo intro “Fighting Dreamers” and at the same time ran a highlight reel of a football powerhouse between the two Italian clubs Juventus Turin and US Salernitana.

In the stream you can still hear how Ludwig announces that he has an even better idea, then after 91.61 seconds it ends abruptly and a notification from YouTube is displayed.

While the stream only showed the message that the stream was not available, when trying to open the VoD it becomes clear that copyright infringement was the reason for the ban.

Ludwig celebrates his success on Twitter, but not everyone is happy

This is how Ludwig reacted to his spell: The streamer announced his success on Twitter and claimed to have set the world record for the fastest YouTube ban. But some viewers doubted that.

The viewers criticized: Some Twitter users thought the ban was fake. They shared a screenshot proving that Ludwig merely displayed an image of the ban notification on his own stream. His camera can still be seen underneath.

Others also doubted the authenticity of the world record: There are many accounts that are blocked when they are created because of the profile picture or username, so the attempt is far from a world record.

Some fans have already joked that they can’t wait to see Ludwig back on Twitch after his ban (via Twitter).

Ludwig switched to YouTube with an exclusive income in 2021, since then more and more former Twitch stars have followed the call of the red platform. But one of Twitch’s greats says they made a huge mistake.
