Former Twitch Streamer, Ludwig who recently joined YouTube get banned during the ongoing live stream. Ludwig recently made headlines for leaving Twitch but who knew he’d get banned from YouTube in just three days of his joining.
Ludwig, the golden by of Twitch recently moved to YouTube. According to him, it was a difficult decision, he further explained, “I realized at that moment that even though I’ve been with Twitch for three-plus years, even though people call me the golden boy of Twitch, I’ve never felt like the golden boy of Twitch.”
But who knew Ludwig’s YouTube journey would start with a bump as he gets banned during an ongoing live stream. Ludwig responded to the situation on Twitter saying, “You could say the switch has been going well…”
Why Did Ludwig Get Banned?
Ludwig’s live stream abruptly shut down leaving around 25000 viewers curious and concerned. Apparently, the streamer had been banned from YouTube and thus the shutdown.
The viewers were left with no explanations rather just a message that read “stream suspended for policy violations”.
Ludwig later explained that the ban took place due to YouTube’s copyright rule violation after he played “Baby Shark” for a few seconds. This happened when he was checking out the 50 “most classic” videos on the platform.
The reason behind the ban left both fans and Ludwig laughing. One of the viewers’ even tweeted to the incident; “Next YouTube video title “How Baby Shark got me banned” #NotInThisCar”
In Ludwig’s own word explaining the incident, he said, “I listened to a few seconds of Baby Shark. I’m pretty sure the corporate overlords that own Baby Shark have liked an iron fist over YouTube, and so they took me down.”
The streamer further expressed his concerns by saying, “I thought what would happen is because of YouTube’s robust copyright ID system, they would let me play copyrighted stuff, they would then flag it, they would take the monetization from the live stream, and we just split it. Classic rev-share.”
Fan’s Reaction
Fans who were left curious at first but couldn’t stop laughing when they heard the reason behind the ban took to Twitter to express their feeling.
One wrote, “Ludwig literally got banned from the stream, literally third day streaming on youtube lol”
Another added, “Ludwig getting banned on his third day on youtube is so funny”
“Ludwig announcement video saying we can play anything on youtube. Then gets banned for baby shark lol,” joked another fan.
Ludwig’s ban was pretty sad for some people as it had been only 3 days since he joined YouTube. We hope that he gets back to the platform soon, better than ever.
