Famous content creator Ludwig Ahgren miscalculated his challenge for his YouTube stream. Ludwig promised to stay live when his donations hit $50 every time, resetting the timer. Little did he know, it was already en route towards his prophecy of a “Subathon 2.0”. In his Twitter account, he trolled his followers saying that a Subathon 2.0 will be coming soon. Establishing this challenge, he did not expect people to “out-troll” him.
Coming Soon…

Subathon 2.0 🚗
Ludwig had his first month-long Twitch subathon in the middle of 2021, where he stayed live 24/7. He raked in around 2.6 million followers due to having this non-stop broadcasting having fun content along with the OfflineTV and Friends crew. He did not profit as much as he revealed to have only gotten less than 1% of the total paying his mods for the hard work. as well as giving to charity from his livestream. Despite the success of getting a lot of followers, he swore later afterwards that he will never do something like that again.
Ludwig set himself up on his livestream by putting a challenge that he will not close his stream until he finishes the game just once. The game he played was “Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy” so it would take a while to finish this game. He also added that every time his Youtube donations hit a total of $50, his game will reset. Immediately he made a big mistake underestimating his followers, despite having a $10 donation limit. Even if he gets to the middle or the end, 5 fans can just donate $10 to reset his game. Fans outsmarted him by continuously donating to his Youtube stream, making at least around 580 unique donations and counting according to Ahgren. The challenges he imposed on himself was the perfect mix of an endless loop.

At some point, he thought that there's no point in playing anymore since it will just reset after each donation. Ludwig commented that his stream was like a capitalism simulator with him just raking money, without even playing. On a positive note though, all the donations will go to his moderators that help him a lot. He also spent an hour begging his fans to stop donating. Clearly he underestimated the rules he imposed on himself. When the begging didn't work, he even made threats to make his fans think twice.
Ludwig then put up a familiar music video from his past stream that got him in trouble. He added “What do you think’s gonna happen baby?” “I’ll take this down right now! Alright, put your hands up. Put your hands up right now! I want your hands off the keyboards!” He got banned before by streaming the music video of “Baby Shark”. He used that card to threaten his fans on getting himself the banhammer.
All of his begging and threatening however didn't work, making the stream even more hilarious since there were no way out for his mistake. Ludwig started to panic since he swore before never to do another subathon again however accidentally locking himself to another now. He admitted that Youtube streaming would be different from his experience in Twitch because of some regulations to be followed. There was also the donation capacity that would hinder people to donate large amounts of money and the money goes to his moderators.
In the end, everybody was happy due to the hilarous content and situation Ludwig put himself to. His mods are definitely happy due to the number of donations made. Hopefully we get to see Subathon 3.0 happen again given his self-imposed ridiculous challenges.
