"Tap out and start a bakery" - Ludwig opens up and says he'll quit live streaming at 10 years

YouTub streamer and Mogul Mail creator Ludwig Ahgren celebrated his sixth year as a streamer by sharing on his Twitter that May 17 marked the anniversary of his streaming journey. The now 27-year-old streamer embarked on his live-streaming career on Twitch and made a momentous move in November 2021 by signing an exclusive contract with YouTube.

Despite achieving significant success, accumulating millions of followers and subscribers along the way, Ludwig has announced his intention to conclude his streaming career when he completes a decade in the industry.

His tweet received many reactions, including a humorous response from fellow streamer Johnathan "JSchaltt." In jest, he doubts Ludwig's ability to sustain his streaming career for a long time. The latter replied:

Ludwig completes six years as a streamer, community reacts

Undoubtedly, Ludwig is widely recognized as one of the most prominent streamers in the industry. His events, such as Mogul Money and Mogul Chessboxing, were undeniably successful among fans, attracting hundreds of thousands of concurrent viewers and generating significant interest.

As of today, May 17, Ludwig's YouTube channel boasts an impressive 4.73 million subscribers. The indications point towards continued steady growth, at least until he reaches his ten-year milestone in streaming.

Naturally, it garnered a host of reactions and replies. Upon learning that he might open a bakery, JSchaltt responded:

Some also shared memes with the streamer's face in them. This one indicated that he had been "milking" (which means to extend or exploit a circumstance for personal gain):

Among the reactions, some fans humorously suggested that he might receive another irresistible YouTube contract or that he could capitalize on collaborating with MrBeast to generate more views:

What was his YouTube deal worth?

The streamer's decision to move to YouTube in 2021 garnered significant attention and surprised many in the streaming community. Before the move, he held a position among the top 10 creators on Twitch.

While the exact details and valuation of his YouTube deal remain undisclosed, it generated a lot of speculation and curiosity among fans and industry observers.

In 2021, his girlfriend, Blaire "QTCinderella," playfully hinted that his contract could be worth a staggering $30 million. However, it remains unclear if she was joking or being serious, as no official confirmation has been provided regarding the contract's exact value.

Shreyan would love to drop into the virtual world of FIFA/EA FC and explore it further but, he would recommend playing Red Dead Redemption 2 to gaming skeptics for its top-tier gameplay, story and characters. During his downtime, he enjoys balancing his interests in reading, watching films and sports, and of course, playing video games.
