We're now 12 days into variety streamer Ludwig Ahgren's 'never-ending' subathon Twitch stream and, by golly, it actually looks like it could end this weekend. As I write this, Ludwig's chat of 36,000 viewers is fighting to keep the timer above 18 hours by tacking on another 10 seconds with every subscription. The streamer's efforts have already made him the most subscribed-to channel on Twitch right now with the second-highest total sub count ever of 120,000 (second only to Ninja's record peak of 269,000).

While he rests, the channel's mods take over and play videos requested by viewers, turning the 24-hour stream into what is essentially a community YouTube party. Initially, every subscription to Ludwig's channel added 20 seconds to a timer that dictated how long he would stay live for, but in the wake of huge numbers of subscriptions, that has since been lowered to 10 seconds. Ludwig has also added extra conditions to a stream that … [Read more...] about Ludwig’s Never-Ending Twitch Subathon Enters Its Third Week

Ludwig Ahgren, a variety Twitch streamer, has officially claimed the record for most subscribers on Twitch. Over the course of the past month , Ahgren has been broadcasting every moment of his life. Viewers have watched the streamer cook his meals, sleep in his racecar bed, and play games. Yesterday his stream finally ended, and with it, the former record for most Twitch subscribers. The record was previously held by Tyler "Ninja" Blevins, the blue-haired Twitch superstar, who peaked at 269,154 subscriptions in 2018. Ludwig officially beat that record last night, and at the time of writing has a whopping total of 283,034 subscribers, more than any other streamer using the platform.
