Chat is saying that Drew's Stream is cringe is missing the point. He is portraying a person who hasn't streamed ever, you know the supposed TARGET DEGMOGRAPHIC of the Masterclass. Let's say we replace Drew with some average person, did you think that person will stream as highly energetic or as insanely good as per say Ninja, Ludwig or any popular streamers are, which mind you is the promise guaranteed by the Masterclass? I'm pretty sure the stream would look the same as Drew's if not worse which is fcked cause they paid for it.

[@Keijo_]

Exactly. If Drew cared about making the stream as successful as possible, there are plenty of things he could have done differently, including using his own channel and branding, but the point was to test the advice and show how effective it would be

[@octobercowgirl]

@@Keijo_ literally!!!

[@jedimaster0667]

Exactly you nailed it! People are so ready to take shit out of context these days. The chat in this stream particularly. "Oh it's so cringe" um... Yeah? New streamers, in fact, any new content creator is cringe. Because you're getting practice being yourself on camera in front of people...? Like helllooooooooo. Not only that but yes exactly drew wanted to mimick a fresh person who knows jack shit right. Watches the master class. And attempts streaming. Because if a famous streamer makes a MASTER CLASS. People expect nuanced advice and a plan to potentially follow in order to start a small streaming career.

[@jedimaster0667]

@Judy Mwanzo To be completely fair though. Streaming to 0 viewers is a reality when you start streaming even today. And you stream to nobody because you gotta get some practice and be comfortable having a camera rolling the whole time. However, I completely agree that having a high level of energy with 0 viewers is kind of ridiculous. But at the same time you can use that footage and edit it into a youtube video or use clips and post them on instagram and tiktok and youtube shorts.

[@jedimaster0667]

@Judy Mwanzo oh okay I getchu now. Yeah absolutely. People just compare too easily and take shit out of context and don't think for once.

[@iwillcry]

Drew’s video shows how hard it is to start up streaming if you don’t have any experience, influential friends or a pre existing platform. If he continued streaming, for sure his content would evolve into something more fitting and comfortable to him.

[@Hey_Jamie]

Uh, yeah. He’s an entertainer. Entertaining is his job. He knows what he’s doing. But he literally said he just doesn’t want to, because it’s too involved.

[@charlesbronson2926]

@@iwillcry Lud does have a point though, but I disagree with his overall take and the fact that he watched the whole video on stream. Streaming is a different skill set than making videos. Being entertaining for 5 hours is different than making a 30 minute video, even though often times that video could take days to make and edit.

[@allcatch]

im both of their fans here, but drew was hilarious and i feel like the video just flew over ludwigs' head, drew wasnt criticizing ninjas streaming skill, he was trying to mock ninjas whole masterclass scam. confused about the defensive reaction too :/

[@1024BenZ]

Drew's right about Ninja's masterclass though. What it lacked was education into things that you couldn't get just from watching his stream. If he delved more into the technical side of things it would've been a lot better, like what's important in a streaming PC build, what kind of upload speed you need from your internet to stream smoothly at high quality, what settings work best in OBS, how to setup various graphics and add-ins like StreamLabs, pros and cons of streaming on Twitch vs. KZbin...

[@jedimaster0667]

Exactly!!! This is all information real stream educators like Senpai Gaming and Katliente have covered. It just goes to show how out of touch Ninja is with the rest of the community. And I feel like Ludwig was defending Ninja too much out of the gate. If you ask your audience to go out and pay for an education from YOU. It better be well researched and well thought out.

[@figlemon]

@@jedimaster0667 Imagine if you’re friend made a video series that someone else was criticizing, no you don’t have to hold it up to the standard of God, but you’re not just gonna be like, “ya know what, this is utter trash.” Also, at no point in the stream did Ludwig tell anyone to take the class. Ludwigs take on the masterclass was also on the side of negativity, just not as far as Drew Gooden’s stance.

[@ashleychang9023]

I feel like Ludwig has too much pride in being a streamer and got annoyed when a KZbinr tried to enter his world, especially since Drew wasn't very good at it. BUT Drew was literally basing his streamer knowledge on Ninja's class. If Drew wasn't performing well, it was because of the class. Which is why I don't understand him defending Ninja while also shitting on Drew. Like what??

lud keeps defending how good ninja is at streaming while that is in no way part of the discussion, yeah ofc he's good at it he was the biggest streamer for a good bit. The thing being criticized is him phoning it with the masterclass and I personally thought that was extremely obvious from the original video

[@annieismakingvideosonyt]

Exactly!! The point of drew’s video is how ninja is basically advertising that if you just spend 200 dollars you can be as good as him, when that’s not at all true. Tried to give lud the benefit of the doubt but he completely missed the point!

[@damienearl8302]

Exactly! I think the only somewhat negative thing he said in that way was that Ninja isn't exactly the *best* streamer in his opinion, but they do just good enough to be iconic The literal point of the video is that Ninja made this class for people just starting out in the streaming game, but not taking into consideration what it's like to...start out in the streaming game, seemingly just doing the bare minimum for social media agents just off screen directing him on what new things he should do as a celebrity

And as for the title being clickbait, are there any Ludwig videos that AREN’T click bait? I shouldn’t care this much, but come on the hypocrisy and smugness are radiating

[@ludwigverse384]

I kinda agree with that, i like drew just as much and that felt a bit of an overreaction

[@cairo2684]

Bro atleast he is adding stuff to the video and adding insight. That is proven because even though Drew’s video was 37 mins, this video is 1 hour. Ludwig added of 23 mins of content to the video. Second, there are many other streamers like Xqc that react to content without saying anything, sometimes they aren’t even present in the stream and are just playing the video to fill. Also, Ludwig didn’t post his reaction, this youtube channel did so it’s not like he’s milking views off of someone else’s content. Finally, have you watched any of Ludwig’s videos? He actually doesn’t clickbait that often, look at his recent videos and tell me if the title of his videos are clickbait. Yeah there might be slight exaggerations in the title but they definitely aren’t enough to be labled as clickbait. I’m not saying Ludwig is right for reacting to this video and that it’s ok (In fact I think he is slightly in the wrong), I’m just saying that he probably did it the best possible way. P.S. I do not mean to belittle you with this reply I’m just trying to give perspective. Sorry if I offend you in any way.

Ludwig streamed himself watching drew's video, showing the whole video, and got donations and channel memberships while doing so. He still profitted off of it even if he didn't post the highlights to youtube himself.

But this is not reliable, it's not consistent and it doesn't align with the majority of new streamer's goals. Yes it would be nice to be Ninja famous. But I think any self respecting newcomer to streaming just wants to have a decent sized community that isn't absolute garbage and will help them find corporate money in order to pay rent.

[@jedimaster0667]

@@symawi312 I see where you're coming from. Many of the things we're discussing do have luck factors. But there are actionable things you can do. For one thing. You can't just stream. You have to have at least one other social media platform in addition to streaming. And if you are taking a shot in the dark with little plans. You have to be ready to keep doing what works. And if nothing works. Developing a plan based on what already works is important. Whether it's education or entertainment, comedy, DIY, etc. Having a posting schedule and practice and research is important. That's all actionable. While what Drew showed/summarized Ninja's class says, is the class says "just stream and be entertaining". Which is out of touch with how things work today. There is a luck factor. But you can't just turn on stream and put your hours in anymore. You can't just post to social media, text or video, once in a while or even everyday and expect results.

Yeah, the difference is that even though Drew had a big following on KZbin, clearly the fanbase didn’t want to transition due to a lack of time/platform issues, or that the stream didn’t keep their interest like the normal content Drew makes. Ludwig and his friends streams, while they may be uninteresting to you, clearly are entertaining to their target demographic and are very successful. You’re friend who wants to be a streamer is just living in a daydream tbh. It’s like 8 years olds who want to be Michael Jordan so they play once a month.

[@steadyrhythms9571]

@@figlemon don’t get me wrong i think ludwig is still great and interesting and one of the best streamers, as are his friends. they’re certainly very creative as well. also to be clear about Drew’s streaming endeavors, no one in his fanbase knew he was doing this or else he’d probably get at least 1000 viewers first stream. his point was to show that truly starting out from square one and just simply gaming with ninja’s recommendations proved to be unfruitful. and yeah my friend is definitely dreaming a bit but more in a greed way. she really just wants to be rich and famous lol. i actually really haven’t been friends with her for a while now but that’s not worth explaining.

[@genericname8727]

​@@figlemon Drew deliberately used a username that wouldn’t be easily traced back to him and didn’t promote the stream. He was trying to see whether he could grow following Ninja’s advice. If he’d told his viewers he was streaming then some would’ve obviously tuned in. He only had two people comment in chat the entire time he streamed because those were the only people who found him organically, and they weren’t his prior fans. Part of what Drew’s videos show is that it’s hard to even get discovered on Twitch. It doesn’t really matter how interesting your content is if nobody is getting recommended to give it a chance. If there’d been many people tuning in then clicking off it’d be another story, but hardly anyone clicked on to the stream for even a moment.

[@ultimatedumbass4640]

@@figlemon None of his fanbase knew Drew was streaming at the time. He did that on purpose to emulate somebody streaming for the first time without a fanbase.

[@10plate]

@@figlemon nah people didn’t watch his stream bc he didn’t tell any of his fan base that he was going to stream on twitch... thought that was pretty obvious lmfao

[@Lyghfe]

Ludwig: Parasocial Andys are kinda cringe Also Ludwig: Ey, yo! If you remember that my dog just had his wisdom teeth removed; that'd be kiiinda cute do!

[@meowmeowmeow16]

...do people really make commentary videos on commentary videos?

[@figlemon]

Yes, and it’s been done before Ludwig was born, and will be done far after.

[@AverageWaffleEnthusiast]

I would call it more of a reaction video since it’s not scripted and… a bit… lack luster

[@PurpleSnappingTurtle]

why did he read eddy's notes app joke like it was serious 💀

[@peachyjoon6673]

I feel like this dude doesn’t understand how commentary videos work. And also is Ninja’s biggest fan ever and therefore can’t criticize a single tiny thing about him.

[@cratty16]

I love how Ludwig is filling in the gaps for all of Ninjas lesson's. Like actually providing the resources and where to go lol. Might as well add this video to the Master class. Or have Ludwig have his own master class

[@N-ext_Step]

Just like Ludwig said, I don't think twitch streamers can be teachers.He already gives his experience and tips through his streams.

[@christmastiger]

Between his talk at the end and his appearance on the Fear & podcast I'm thinking Ludwig will say whatever age he is at the time is youthful and not ready for adult life yet

[@christiankim6864]

Ludwig: KZbinrs that try to stream r terrible. They jus play w their friends and ignore college girls Also Ludwig: reads like 4 comments in a hour long video (minimum effort responding to them) otherwise only ever speaking when he giving his opinion on some random shit. And then showing the wrong ninja & not noticing his chat blowing up

[@Settings_YouTube-1]

"I never watched this video" Full red watched bar...lol

[@chesterparish3794]

Drew is one of the best. His video is great.

[@TenTonNuke]

"I've never watched this video." Red bar under thumbnail shows entire video was previously watched.

[@aguscravero]

I dont appreciate that he intentionally made it seem like what eddy said was true when it was actually a joke. Idk, felt really manipulative

[@hospitalgal101]

The comment that says "the bar says you've already watched this" 😂 my hero

[@tijmen6947]

Good to see the Ludwig Industrial Complex pick up steam

[@Violant3]

i don't like the assumption of "youturbers are bad streamers" paymoneywubby started as a youtuber before becoming basically a full time streamer, and he's one of the best, always creating new game shows and different streams

[@figlemon]

I think it many cases it’s a fair assumption to make. There’s a ton of youtubers who can take their existing content and smoothly transition it to streaming and hold their fanbase. There’s also KZbinrs who are really creative and can come up with new ideas that revolve around their demographics interest. But most of the time, the content doesn’t transition well to streaming, the quality isn’t as high as what’s expected from KZbin videos, or that the KZbinr isn’t accustomed to the high energy of streaming. In Gooden’s case, if he went back to streaming using his main stream, it’d be weird to watch a 5 hours unedited uncut analysis of someone else’s content like he did with the Ninja video. If he went out of his target demographic’s primary interests and did stuff like runescape gameplay, without creative ideas and high energy, only the people who are really big fans of Drew would stick around. They’d either be uninterested in the different content or they’d assume they could find the same content at a higher quality somewhere else. This is not a diss towards Drew, but it’s just how many KZbinrs fail the transition. Paymoneywubby’s content was able to make a smooth transition. He has a bright personality, can hold the energy, and come up with creative ideas to hold people’s attention.

[@HH-le1vi]

it's a completely different thing in itself. YT you can be scripted as you can and it'll look good. when you stream there is no plan and no way to stay on one. you have to be completely reactive as everything is happening.

[@anxiousdumpling5041]

@FigLemon i’m seeing you in almost every reply dude jfc

[@robmonkey]

Drew > Ludwig

[@amanofculture4845]

here the joke was that someone who named himself eddy burback in fortnite joined him...

[@chocoberry6501]

Where's the joke?

[@beanzontoastye]

Bruh xqc is the biggest streamer and he barely talks

[@beanzontoastye]

I was thinking this when lud was talking about KZbin streamers at the beginning

[@Definitely-dr.bright]

Bro forgot it was vid and not live💀 (happens to the best of us)

[@submariene]

i could not even watch this video. it feels kinda infuriating just reading through the comments.

[@FlapJackJimJam]

Ludwig was pretty reasonable and finding the video funny but you can really tell that there was a grey area in his mood after the 25-30 minute mark of this video.

[@animalcrossing7475]

i like watching ludwig, but i must say this is an embarrassing entry for r/woooosh. also not him trying to call someone else out for clickbait LOL

[@abdullahali3880]

1:00 yeah same thing could be said to streamers trying youtube

[@casperryborg4869]

I do agree with you. I will however also say that you won't get ANYTHING out of commenting something rational. Ludwig is without a doubt that sorta person who only takes their own opinion, and don't seek knowledge or advice amongst others unless absolutely necessary, so I recommend that you only watch his content when you're interested in what he has to say.

[@iiDefyGravity]

Yeah I think Drew's point went right over Luds head.

[@llamalord5644]

Wait wtf, how did he know I have a dog?

[@blankspace0000]

Masterclass is essentially an extended behind the scenes. Fucked up that they market themselves as an educational platform but if you know going in that you aren't actually going to learn anything, it is fun to just watch a little documentary on your favourite creator. Definitely not worth $180 tho didn't know they had changed the pricing so much.

[@zynthio]

It hasn’t even been a thousand years since Columbus sailed across the ocean and found South America. Barely a thousand years since Leif Erikson set foot in the americas. and ninja thinks his master class on streaming, which I only learned exists because of this video, will be watched a millennia from now

[@cookinwithjake]

Is it just me or has Lud gone Hollywood all of a sudden?

[@mrbulby5888]

this is like the inception of content reaction/plagerism/idk you got drew react to ninja then ludwig react to drew then this dude take ludwigs vod and upload it

[@gewidydr1118]

I love toast's reaction to this

[@TheLinguistable]

me halfway through this video-"Oh wait...I thought *this* guy was Ninja." my brother-"No blue hair, Julie." 😂

[@segyloveschombey]

I feel like if you dont get Drews content you should probably just leave it alone. Why did we harp on how untrue the title was, obviously it didnt ruin his life, its clickbait.if anyone should understand the premise of a clickbait title I feel like it would be Ludwig??? The reaction felt like an if I do it its ok but if you do it its wrong-fest

[@NicoKaneo]

I love how he "didn't watch it" yet the red bar is completely full on the video. XD

[@pterocardio]

ive watched drews og video so many times but im glad i watched this one cause i always liked hellofresh but didnt know they were anti union... damn

[@LiilYogurt]

I like that Ludwig mentioned there's an expected level of audio/visual quality for streams/videos. I hate the rhetoric that so many people like to say "oh you can start content creation on anything, you don't need a good setup, you just need a good idea", that might have been true like 6 years ago but now the space is so saturated if your webcam or mic are a lower quality than average, people will just go to one of the other thousand streamers live at the moment.

[@lillillillillllillliiillli1800]

Found myself skipping Ludwig throughout the entire video. This drew guy is 100x better lol

[@happyyyoung]

Is drew a RuneScape head? Pshh you don't even know lol

[@annakepes8050]

smh fake fan

[@daseinz]

A million dollar question.

[@braincellgenocide9553]

Ludwig be salty as hell man.

[@eliasvonbrille]

I love the thought of a KZbinr with over 4 million subscribers struggling for weeks to get a single Viewer just because he didn't promote his Stream. Really shows you how powerful marketing is. This guy could have had thousands of Viewers permanently on a single click basically without doing anything different. Imagine you scroll through Twitch and just find a Famous Online Personality with 0 Viewers begging you to watch his Stream for 3 seconds longer.

[@D0S81]

18:21 here i am a year later watching this cuz i didnt think i'd seen it, and then realised i musta watched it before cuz i saw myself pop up in chat. lol.

[@PeepersonCreedo]

Ludwig - People buy stuff for the wrong reasons, they just buy it cause streamers have it Also Ludwig- Here’s a website that shows you every little detail of what gear a streamer has
