In the clip, he stated that he decided to hold an auction to give away his prized possessions because he turned into a "major hoarder" after becoming a streamer:"I have a major problem and I need your help. I've become a major hoarder after becoming a streamer. I allow my chat to spend my money to buy things, and they end up buying way too much stuff."He listed some of the items he had bought, ranging from a life-sized Nami figure from One Piece to a $16,000 Jackie Chan statue:"I have a damn near lifesize statue of Nami from One Piece. Way too many Pokemon cards. I have this gold plaque from YouTube, that's supposed to be special, or something. I literally have a $16,000 statue of Jackie Chan. Who needs that?! Not me. And I want to give it all away to you guys. Well... I want to auction it away."Ludwig then said he wanted to raise as much money as possible for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. He also explained how the online community could take part in the upcoming auction:"I'm trying to raise as much money as possible for Make-A-Wish. So, I decided to auction off all of my items. And you can buy everything. So, just show up to my stream, this Sunday (May 28, 2023) at 2 pm, Pacific. And you can buy anything! All the proceeds go to Make-A-Wish, and let's raise as much money as possible!"Fans react to Ludwig's announcementThe streamer's announcement quickly went viral on Twitter, with one fan jokingly asking how much his cat, Coots, would cost:Wemby stan account@fultronlane@LudwigAhgren How much for Coots?56@LudwigAhgren How much for Coots?Meanwhile, another community member stated that they would have gone all in for the YouTube Golden Play Button:Netizens on Twitter sharing their thoughts on the streamer's auction announcement (Image via Twitter)Some of the more relevant responses were along these lines:calebkinda@calebkinda@LudwigAhgren Will these be there?137@LudwigAhgren Will these be there? https://t.co/7HNw9fgK9CMike27356894@mike27356894@LudwigAhgren That’s a very neat idea, Ludwig.
