Clearly as soon as Ludwig left, he also left a huge void in the Twitch-Meta that was soon to be filled with... water. To be precise. Water... in hot tubs. With individuals in the water that is in the hot tub. Ludwig caused the Hot Tub Meta, get him boys, get HIM!

[@mochiminu_116]

I understand how people got emotional at the end of it. It's like getting attached to elementary teachers, and crying at your graduation. Although our relationship with Lud is parasocial, it changed people's schedules drastically, having people sleep and wake up to Ludwig's stream, like the mods. I enjoyed the stream a shit ton, and I'm glad I was there to experience most days o7

[@Kosmicd12]

0:48 this is patently untrue, Showvideogames did a month long stream in late 2013 going from 20 viewers to several thousand overnight. They then did a subathon in mid 2014 (pre gift subs) which only ended because they'd already set a hard limit on a day they needed to leave for an event Not taking away any credit from Ludwig for what he did, but giving it elsewhere that it's due!

[@gurth-quake1627]

It's hard not to cry when completing something this big. I cried from my biggest act on twitch thus far which lasted a week, and I don't get viewers. My largest stream for the week was 12 viewers at the same time, but it averaged to 5 viewers for the entire stream. I'm trying another thing, but my stream refuses to start up.

[@captainsquids2792]

I like him, just started watching and he seems to acknowledge "Hey, this a job, it's cool but y'all are still money". He's not a dick about it but he makes it clear what it is. It's like using someone for sex but stating it from day 1

[@Rebby0519]

Lud was asking who cried at the end of the stream, and I was like "I'm crying right now! Of course I cried at the end of the stream :(" And then Lud was also emotional at the end of the stream which made me feel emotional

[@mcbreach1825]

i loved the subathon. seeing him live everytime i turn on twitch, made me happy as an eu frog. because i could always catch his stream. Sadge that there wont be another one.

I miss the subathon man. I dont consume a lot of twitch since i usually want to watch streams at random times. The subathon was sick since it was always going for a whole month. It was just a great time. Thanks for that Lud, mods, trucker Slime, and everybody else who was a part of making it happen. Truly glad i was here for this Edit: Go birds

[@daltoncrow6486]

I was atruggling with OT at work so this video was so informative thank you

I didn’t cry at the end of the sunbathon. But I still took a hit in the feels that it ended, similar to finishing a show that your really invested in. Just a feeling of what do I do now

I loved this doc because it showed me a lot I didn't realize (how much time I spent watching lud for a month)

[@eternallyidyll]

tbh, the end of the subathon gave end of unus annus vibes. both times we were watching the clock tick down as the end of something amazing (revolutionary dare i say) came to an end, and it was super emotional.

I've been meaning to look into what the subathon was and the impact it had and what really went down because I know just how monumental it was, but I just wasn't in the loop. It was like finding out about Unus Annus the day it died. This was good though. EDIT: Wait did you watch through VGHS?
