THIS, is why i love ludwig. moments like these feel like watching the portal scene in endgame. he’s grown so so so fast and built up his own identity, pretty much claiming over 100 words of the english language that make you think of him when spoken. On top of that i believe almost everyone who watches youtube and twitch will find a part of luds content they love. Lud undoubtedly has become one of the biggest and noteworthy twitch streamers with how fast he’s grown and the community, personality, and influence in this time. I know litterally nothing about his editors but every time they get brung up i widepeepoHappy. thanks lud, for everything.

AxxL just look at your like-dislike ratio. That is a pretty accurate measure of how good your videos are. Edit: to add to what I said, your videos are purely comedic. People watch videos to get something from them. With Ludwig I get a story or just some gameplay with some friends. Your videos are meant to be funny, but I don’t think they are. When the whole loud=funny thing was novel, a lot of people thought it was funny, but as time goes on, people realize how unfunny it actually is. It’s old now. If you want to make better videos, be funnier. I recommend watching Gus Johnson.
