"Guys, this is my take, I think he's just mald because he's swapped cars and now running out of gas real fast."

'Mald' is a Twitch term, which is a combination of mad and bald, and according to xQc, it seems like Ludwig hates that he can't follow a similar trend on YouTube Gaming since he made a switch to the Google-owned platform.

Ludwig talks about streamers who stream copyright content on Twitch

"xQc, atleast once day I feel like boots up a little bit of MasterChef."

At the 2:25 mark, Ludwig claimed that Twitch streamers had taken it too far with their reactions, and he further noted that it had to be curbed a bit.

"I think things have gotten a little out of hand."

Many streamers, including the likes of HasanAbi, Disguised Toast have taken part in this trend by watching reruns which are easily available on platforms like YouTube.

For now, streamers have run scot-free from the hands of Twitch developers as they have yet to issue any complaints to any of these streamers. However, it remains to be seen how long this situation will play out, before a storm of DMCA complaints breaks out on the platform.
