Viral moments from Subathon 2.0

Several clips from the special event were shared to the r/LivestreamFail subreddit, with one highly upvoted post featuring Ludwig inaugurating the 50-hour-long broadcast.

Before starting the timer, he jokingly suggested that the experience would be "miserable", adding:

"I'm nervous. Dude, this is going to be miserable. There's no shower. There's literally thousands of people in this venue! There's dozens people around me. I'm not exaggerating. Anyway. Five, four, three, two... all right, we're in. Yeah, yeah, yeah! I don't know why there's people behind me? So weird."

Another subathon moment that gained traction was when the 27-year-old got together with a professional chess boxer.

When the content creator reached his donation goal, he set up a challenge and was subsequently punched by the athlete. Here's a 13-second long clip from the event:

Some bits about Subathon 2.0

Ludwig officially announced Subathon 2.0 during a livestream on October 30. He explained what he would be doing during the 50-hour broadcast and called it a "murderous Trueman Show":

"So I came to the conclusion that I could put myself inside of a glass box. Rig it with a bunch of cameras and every time I raise a certain amount of money for charity, I will allow the stream to torture me in a variety of ways. Living out a murderous Trueman Show. David Blaine-esq. Where the more money you give, the more time I'll spend in the box and the more torture devices I will live through."

The streamer stated that he will be raising funds for organizations such as No Kid Hungry and Alveus Sanctuary:

"And all the money that will be raised for this charity, 50 hours stream, will be split across No Kid Hungry. One of my favorite charities to work with. And Alveus Sanctuary. Because if I'm going to live a life of a zoo animal, well then, I should probably support the lives of zoo animals everywhere."
