The Twitch live streaming king has had to add some restrictions to his stream : now only 10 seconds are added to the clock with each subscription, plus viewers will be limited to buying 100 gift subscriptions each. He also set a 31-day limit to end the stream, no matter what might happen afterwards.
It’s not entirely clear whether it will be able to get there yet , as subscriptions have understandably slowed down over the past week – on Wednesday, March 24, there were 37 hours of streaming left on the watch, compared to only 22 hours on Friday morning, and the timer has been floating just above the screen ever since , sitting at just under 12 hours and counting. At the time of writing this post, the watch only has a little over 4 hours and 34 minutes left… but nothing is set in stone.
With his subathon, Ludwig has achieved nothing less than an france business email database astonishing 139,241 active subscribers (and counting), with an average of 31,518 viewers for his streams who have seen him chat, play, exercise, eat, sleep in his race car-shaped bed and sometimes even shower, and it wouldn't be unusual for him to start turning up the clock again after a slump.
Will Ludwig Ahgren become a legend, or will a wave of creators, fueled by his success, begin to create a massive multi-channel Big Brother on Twitch? Only time will tell.
