Ludwig discusses why the subreddit LivestreamFail is “bad” for Twitch

Ludwig of Mogul Money admitted that it took him leaving Twitch for YouTube to recognise that the subreddit is more harmful than beneficial.

Since its inception in 2015, the LivestreamFail subreddit has grown to over 1.4 million active users. Users have shared daily footage from their favourite Twitch feeds on the forum for years, making it an unofficial Twitch centre.

Ludwig explains why LivestreamFail is a streaming disaster

In his February 17 upload, Ludwig claimed streamers have put too much emphasis on the importance of what is being said on the LSF forum. “I’ve seen first hand the emphasis that streamers put on this website. Multiple huge streamers pull out their phone to look at LivestreamFail to see what juicy gossip is being pushed. It’s toxic to look at this generally not useful discourse,” he said.

Ahgren slammed the subreddit, describing it as a haven for toxicity. “LivestreamFail has repeatedly shown to be a cesspool of negativity. And it took switching to YouTube for me to see how trivial LivestreamFails and even my own community are in the larger scheme of things,” he concluded.

Ahgren also mentioned that the community has altered its focus from just sharing clips from channels to gossip and news. “It’s no longer truly fails or really amusing clips.” It largely focuses on streamer-related news. We like media tabloid less because of livestream failures and more because of a few dozen of streamers.”

While Ludwig admits that the subreddit helped him early in his career, he claims that the early exposure pales in comparison to the drawbacks the forum brings to other channels.
