To clarify- I don’t think I should feel bad when people who CHOOSE not to get the vaccine get sick from COVID
I also labeled people against the vaccine as anti vaccine- I didn’t think that was contentious
A lot of people are pro-vaccine but specifically skeptical of the covid vaccine
Either way I don’t think what you said was a big deal 🤷🏼♂️
You also are disagreeing with the cdc. Kinda anti science no?
Heyy you wouldn't be saying that if Hank Pecker was standing right infront of you, you keyboard warrior!!!
It just wasn’t worded like that in the video. But I mean that’s what this channel is all about. Sparking a bit of controversy. And I enjoy it 🙂 Good video.
If your lifting your mask every 5 seconds are you really wearing a mask, your wearing an excuse on your face to explain away an actual non issue, did you know that even with your positive spin on a vaccine you can still catch covid spread it and die from it, I know allot more people who do have the vaccine who get sick substantially more compared to the latter being those who don't have the vaccine, those folks being old and young, huge L everyone wearing a mask your not helping and it isn't helping you and its literally helping nobody I live in a small town and all the people bringing there germs are maskers on vacation ... Why are you on vacation if you believe so heavily in this and are people who appear to genuinely be scared of the air, it's making you look like a bunch of scared unhinged idiots living out your own nightmare perpetuating the problem your so afraid of, your a stupid baseless bastard highhorseing on the stage of pandemic and altruism without the real life degree to justify your high horsing, your the problem. You need to stop talking your shit.
But for real, CZcams needs to fix some of their streaming stuff so you can find streams easier
@@frosttaco3540 it wasn't a real response, there's similar comment in other comments. It's just a bot
True
It's gotten better since the first mogul mail addressing it, but barely. I actually get live streams on my frontpage now
You can click on the live tab that is usually in the top near other keywords, makes it bit more easier
@@frosttaco3540 don’t respond to bots please
even though twitch did switch plans ,regarding covid restrictions, the tickets were originally non-refundable but when they changed the restrictions they did send an email and allowed ticket holders to get a refund from August 12th (announcement made) to August 19th which i think was a good course of action
Agreed
Nah it'd be funnier to make stupid people waste their money
It still ruins the commitments people made for their plans
@@ultimateid5486 better safe than sorry, no?
@@browner63 Who cares? They're not entitled to anything, bunch of snowflakes.
They also probably ban knife throwing at Twitch Con, but nobody made the right to throw knives into crowds a right wing talking point
I'm on the board for a (much smaller, ~5k) convention on the east coast, and I think the change in requirement might have come from talent. They're the draw, and people show up to see them. If they weren't willing to come without a stricter policy, that's a major reason to do it. Generally, if people are upset, you weather the storm and let it blow over. Talent upset? That jeopardizes the whole event. The swap probably broke even on the number of people mad, but the hassle of handling refunds and attempting to enforce the policy are far more effort. I'd be surprised if a change-up like this didn't have an additional impetus.
I assume there was something else because pre-order sales can seem pretty low. 15k doesn't seem unexpected or bad 2 months out if you're looking for 30k attending, since a lot of people buy last-minute or on-site if it's available. I don't think they'd be scared enough for those numbers to warrant something like this, since the trade-off can't be that big a difference.
The final alternative is they're just banking on people not getting refunds.
I think it comes down to the area and how big the event is. In the US now, a lot of people are done with the pandemic and could care less about masking and other restrictions. But with an event like TwitchCon where not only cases are rising in the area but people from all over the states are flying in to the event, it could end up being a super spreader like you said. I think the part of the story where a lot of people are upset is how Twitch said one thing, but once a certain group of people got mad about the lack of restrictions, Twitch changed their guidelines to make that specific group happy (which made everyone else upset). I think Twitch was smart in requiring masks, but I really don’t like how a lot of events are changing their rules in order to please what seems like a few angry people on Twitter (bit of an exaggeration but you get the point).
Conventions keep doing this "no requirements, oops people are mad, ok requirements" thing that just ends up making everyone upset
Yes It’s partly the constant goal post moving that pissing everyone off. The other part is that people are treating each other like 2nd class citizens over this. It’s disgusting
Because the people that bought the tickets are the ones ok with whatever guidelines were set in place. Why are you trying to appease people who don't have money down. Corporations always make this mistake where they take their target demographic for granted, and chase after people outside of their target demographic. This in turn makes them lose their core audience, and then everything crashes and burns.
Hey Patterrz, you know what? You rock, thanks.
Twitch just caved to the loud minority
Seriously. Just pick one and stick to it. Flip flopping just makes everyone mad.
I think more people would be outraged if showering a day before attending the event was a mandate
Well obviously! We all know that the mandate should be day of, have you seen some of these people
Leslie
As someone who has spent a couple of weeks without a shower during 2020, I would argue that 3 back-to-back days are the bare minimum to actually have a somewhat decent level of hygiene.
@@Tarxon take that to the grave
@@Tarxon why would you willingly admit this. You couldn’t torture this out of me
Large companies and events should be looking at local laws as a minimum guide and making best interest decisions to tighten those where needed. The only reason I can see to change those decisions is if for example an area went from none to very little cases to an alarming amount of cases (encouraging the event to tighten their rules)
Actively checking for signs of illness is the best course of action imo. People are gonna complain about vaccines and masks no matter what, but most people know that going into a crowded place with symptoms is a dick move and they shouldn’t be allowed in
So how would that work? If you hear a cough you kick them out? One sneeze is fine but two is ejection? Lmao
@@Senza_1 I have horrible sinuses making me sniffle and cough from drainage. Never caught the coof and never jabbed despite being stuck next to confirmed infected that were forced to stay at work because mental midgets trusted the fever BS and said they can leave once they have a fever which isn't a common synptom.
Hey doofus...you forget about asymptomatic carriers that can spread it which include the jabbed super spreaders.
This sounds like the next tanacon except Covid instead of heat stroke
the beauty of that is everyone going will have signed up to possibly get covid, whereas the people going to tanacon did not sign up to possibly get heat stroke.
I think it should be noted that Nick has been planning this event to run alongside Twitchcon for months.
yeah presumably but he used this as the announcement and marketing for the event
@@MogulMail except it’s a free event and if you watched 10 minutes of his intro in his stream yesterday you would understand he just wants everyone to be welcome. Pro choice!
@@reilly3327 I don't see how you are against safety and planning to do a event, this event will end the same way as tanacon

Otakon (Anime Convention on the East Coast) did Mask REQUIRED and Vaccination or PCR test to go in. While it was certainly impossible to control everyone to be wearing a mask, most people where actually complying. Even with the strict requirements, Otakon broke all forecasts and did record numbers.

@@NovaPog37 lol you got me champ. 🤣
I might be wrong about this, but if I were Twitch, I wouldn't look at twitch con like a money making event. I'd look at it as marketing. Twitch is developing a community around their platform and no matter what you do on the platform, they make money off of you being on it. Ideally, the event breaks even or is profitable, but it isn't a huge loss as long as it keeps people excited and staying on Twitch. The competing event basically fulfills the same function of TwitchCon without Twitch spending money on it and will be where people they've alienated by their change of policy will be able to go. I think it is likely a win for Twitch.
That’s a pretty good way of thinking about it
Yeah I think with most huge events like this the goal is mostly to break even including paying the staff. The trouble is that the investment is huge. Hopefully they budgeted with smaller attendance in mind.
A community of bikinis, hot tubs, far left favoritism, and sexism.
The sole purpose of marketing is to make... Ah I forgot
if twitch cared about marketing they would have an 18+ section so advertisers wouldnt be wherry about they children's game ad appearing right after some chick showed her chevage while riding a banana floaty. all im saying is twitch would make much, much more money, keep advertisements separated to appease the companies, and the people streaming the content would end up making more money because it would bring people who would have never been to twitch to the site and they will donate to see a girl fart so trust me, revenue would go up. the only reason the people streaming the content dont want a 18+ section is A. 15%-25% of their audience are minors B. they dont want to be called sex workers which I mean, little late for that once your chocolate starfish is on onlyfans.
btw a lot of people did get sick after eu twitchcon so thank god they’re trying to do something this time
Nick Mercs was seriously over paid, I still dont understand that one. Twitch is hurting for money, they dont need to give Nick Mercs a contract like that. Let him stay or if wants to leave let him.

It makes sense why twitch con would update their guidelines. SDCC returned earlier this year and it had harsh covid guidelines, so it’s just obvious that another con in the same area/building would take the same precautions. I hope twitch con has as good as staff as SDCC because guards there were super strict about the mask rules.
I think this is arguably the best “keep you up to date” show on CZcams
Agreed, most of this stuff I wouldn't have even known about considering how little time I spend on Twitter.

@@syrasmine Not same time. Very close to eachother tho.
Keep up the Mogul Mail, Lud. I appreciate it!
And although it seems better to stick to the same policies for an event, they can be changed if the scenarios change ofc. And among other things, organizations such as Twitch should not be so reckless and make policies that end up changing. Restrictions and requirements for an event are primary in event organization and if the smart people at Twitch cannot come up with an elaborate policy, then it feels like they need a better event management team or stakeholders.
Minor correction on Amsterdam - it was still a massive super spreader event. Loads of CCs even from the US, who travelled over, caught it. For a couple days after the event almost everyone I knew who went was testing positive
i am amazed twitch is still the biggest livestreaming platform when they make the dumbest business decisions on a regular basis.
Owned by Amazon. You need to be amazed no longer.
I guess part of it is the community "keeping it alive" which still adds so much to twitch
@@perrystuart8035 amazon is one of the largest companies on earth lol. I dont think your point really stands
@@nagow_360 i think that is their point. it's owned by one of the biggest companies which is why they havent fallen yet due to their bad business practise. kinda like the parent company, who also hasnt fallen yet despite horrendous business practises
Twitch staff often behave like teenagers... It's weird
It is really funny to spend money that Twitch gave you to host an event that will compete directly with Twitch's own event, too bad it's for this reason though
I think it’s funny how people still think being vax’d will stop transmission when the cdc said the opposite. Also, you should see how many masks are in the ocean and forest now.
and that its going to fail because of... you know. proof of vax and needing to wear a mask. we're done. no more.
For this reason? Why do you act as if Nick is just now throwing this event together? He's been working on this for months
@@chumbue6537 so did twitch
@@maksymilian4000 What is your point? And why should I care?
Following local government guidelines is probably the best way to go about it, if guidelines change then venue rules change as well
I'm with you and not even for covid or non covid / vaccine reasons. People paid for tickets with a certain scenario, then twitch flipped it. I'd say those people are entitled to refunds if they want them.
I know it's a rather late reply, but i ended up reading down here, so someone else might as well. According to other comments, they did send out an email to anyone who had bought tickets before the rule change that refunds would be avaliable to them from the 12th of august(day rule change happened) to the 19th.
So he’s running a twitch con competitor on the same day at the same place…nothings gone wrong doing that before
Went nearly 3 years without covid, went to Twitch Con AMS and got BLASTED with that viral load
maybe don’t word it like that lmao
That large viral load huh
CZcams just needs to add a “streaming” tab for ease of access to find streams, they have a video and shorts tab for the medium and short form fans so long form fans should also get something too
I'm getting flashbacks to Tanacon. Can't wait to see another hastily cobbled together creator event competing with an event planned out and hosted by a big corporation.
ludwig i think its cool that you are interacting with everybody in this comment section, havent seen many large creators do that. keep up the good work!
sike
You're right about not changing rules. Everyone is pretty divided on this so any rule will upset a lot of people, but if you stick to your original guidelines, all your complaints will come when you announce them at first, not closer to when the event is supposed to be. If TwitchCon had instated these rules from the jump, we wouldn't even be talking about them right now.
They allowed refunds though.
Right! If these were the rules from the start I’d have more time to sort myself out and decide if I can attend based on requirements and what I can do based on that. I wouldn’t be discussing this around with people if it was the same from the get go
But the fact the literally changed rules after tickets had been bought and plans made was dumb and inconvenient, makes me anxious they will keep changing it on me. Not sure I’ll be able to scramble around and meet their changing desires on the fly just to make it to the event, but I’ve been looking forward to this for a few years so I guess I’ll have to.
@@nic_ayaMany people buy plane tickets, hotels, etc. It's not about the event ticket itself for many people.
Conventions pre-covid times were already incubators for getting sick easily. It isn't a bad idea to wear a mask to avoid con flu, much less covid. It's such a low barrier to deal with, I don't get how wearing a mask to not be sick became such a complicated concept.
Sheep.
Regardless of why Twitch actually did it, cases ARE surging in the area where they're holding TwitchCon. Their reasons could be profit-motivated, but in this case, it aligns with trying to help keep cases down. Saying "don't change anything ever after it's announced" in a pandemic is an easy but ultimately reckless stance.
Also this whole "oh don't change anything after you've done it" is such an dumb stance. You react and change according to circumstances. This video was kinda weird, sorry man.
@@Vincent-dl9zv yep, you learn that ''planning'' is not successfull all the time and should be changed according to circumstances in eco
@@Vincent-dl9zv Agreed. They also made the tickets refundable for (I think?) over a week after it was announced. I don't get the hesitancy to criticize covid deniers or anti-vaxxers either (by that I mean faze and the people who support him lol). Probably just the editing but it felt like lud didn't want to "take sides"--normally I'd understand staying neutral on political stuff but at this point it's just science vs straight denial.
What would you define as 'surging'
agreed, i think lud had the right intentions here but his stance should not be an absolute rule
Lud this is probably my favorite channel out of all the ones you have, i love how much you look into the things you talk about it really reflects the amount of research you do on your topics.
UwU !! You saw the post, you need to sub !!
His team does research for him lol
Outside of all the covid stuff and whatnot I do find it funny because the last time someone made an event to spite a larger con, it ended in disaster.
So at minimum I hope they actually care for their attendees unlike Tanacon. Well, aside from not caring about masks and vaccinations.
His event will almost assuredly be a success... unless iDubbz goes LOL

My ideas for what is best to do for an event completely line up with yours here. I respect the way you do things and how you handle them. ✊
Every time someone runs a competing event to a creator meetup like twitchcon or vidcon I can’t help but chuckle at the memories of tanacon and fouseycon
Tanacon 2.0, about the same level of intelligence there but maybe more funding thanks to twitch lmao
Nick has ran several events successfully and has planned the whole thing out.
@@Jrk585 is there somewhere he’s talked in more detail about the plans for the event soon?
People who know about Tanacon: hey I've seen this one before
Nickmercs: what do you mean you've seen it it's brand new!
i didnt think ludwig could explain something in a reasonable time
I just realized, Ludwig prepares tabs as if they were slides in a slideshow
I’d imagine being a direct competitor violates most contracts.
They should probably just pick a rule set and stick with it. You know there is gonna be at least one guy who read the rule when he bought the ticket, didn't know that it changed, and will try to get into the event without a negative test result because he didn't know. Changing the rules after ticket sales is like changing the user agreement after signing, isn't fair to the customer.
Or at least offer refunds or some sort of bonus to people who already bought tickets before the policy changed
@@_congrats they do offer refunds for tickets bought up until Aug 19th
@@cats1970 oh, I didn’t know that! Ty for clarifying :D
@@_congrats but its not just the event ticket. Its plane tickets, hotel tickets, etc.
i’m glad twitch changed the guideline, no matter the reason.
this competing event against twitch reminds me of tanacon, the competing against vidcon a few years back. and god did that end in a disaster
I agree with everything you’ve said but the reason why twitch didn’t feel the need to put that you need to be Vaxxed for the Amsterdam twitch con is because the Netherlands is the strictest country in EU and you need to have all the jabs + the booster to even fly there ( from England that is) but should be the same from everywhere
UwU !! You saw the post, you need to sub!!!
so he's doing tanacon 2.0.... I bet it'll go great
Man I love this channel, so entertaining
Personally I think the best course of action is to go off what the local guidelines are. If the local guidelines dont require much, then the event shouldn't, and vice versa. That way if people are upset they can take it to their local government.
Will we ever get Ludwig doing a mogul mail video on an actual email question?
Also if a faze guy and the sonii guy agree on some thing, you should probably move in the opposite direction .

Emotional Damageee
Honestly, restrictions should change depending on the place the convention is hosted, like if covid’s a big issue, more restrictions, if it’s not, then less restrictions
I wear a mask nearly all day every day cause I am auto-immune with a neuromuscular disease called Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating polyneuropathy. I have have Covid 4 times now the last 2 years. I am still getting Covid and still surviving it despite being on immune suppressants. I simply do not believe that many people are actually dying from it now. I don't know anyone personally who has died from it in the last year. I am sure some people do, but some people die from a lot of things. We have put our lives on hold for 2 years, I would wear a mask regardless because of my disease but I think it's a joke people don't have a choice. Here in Texas no one wears a mask anymore (except me practically ) and again I don't know anyone who has had Covid in the last 6 months. Maybe it's cause of the hot weather, but either way people are so fearful of this weak cold.
Covid is a big deal tho. It’s bigger and worse than it’s ever been before but people have just got bored with it and don’t think it’s a problem anymore
I do think we should go by the CDC/local government guidelines, since they would have the most information about if precautions are needed or not. The switching halfway through due to backlash is bad. I think it just gives twitter a bigger platform for people to brigade to get what they want.
Follow the CDC? They have lost all respect after pushing lockdowns, masks, experimental mRNA, no respect for human rights.
ive been to 2 events since covid: a declan mckenna concert in bristol september last year and a rugby game in cardiff (wales v fiji) in november of last year and at both events all you had to do was show proof of either a negative lat flow test (conformation email) or proof of vaccination on the nhs app. it takes 2 seconds to do this when event tickets are being checked

AX definitely messed up there. By at first requiring heavy guidelines, they scared away people who didn't feel like going through the hassle. Once they relaxed them, they angered all the people who bought tickets feeling safer that way. You have to just hold the L, pick one and stick with it.
Hey Lud, could you disable links to get rid of the bots, or are they exploiting something?
I presume he DOES have links disabled but the bots are exploiting a loophole somehow. Most channels do have links disabled but that doesn’t stop the bots.
If you use the CDC as your authority for health and safety and got two rounds of vaccines, a booster, and wore a mask when mandated. Then you should use that same authority when masks are lifted.
“Trust the science” lol
So we should check for vaccine and booster and do no mask only? I’d be down for that
@@MogulMail that's not what the chief of the cdc said?
End of July no more vaccine national mandates and the August 11th eased requirements even more so especially for events. You keep mentioning the cdc but don't know the current recommendations?
@@QuakeCorps only when it agrees with them
@@MogulMail No, both the vaccinated and non vaccinated now have same guidelines. Both vaccinated and non vaccinated people can spread covid. Having a requirement for a negative test is the only logical solution but then the tests are not that effective against the current omnicron strains 0.5+. This is just a thing that is endemic now that people need to judge for themselves how much they want to put themselves at risk. Twitch can have any rules they want for their con, they are a private business and that is their right. But to slander Nick for anything related to Covid when he is following up to date guidelines for both California and CDC is stupid. Just make fun of him/Twitch for using his contract money to be a direct competitor.
Also just in case anyone wants to say I am an antivaxxer, I am not. I got both doses and a booster and complied with masking for the full duration of the guidelines in the correct areas.
Masks and temp checks honestly seem like the bare minimum to waive concerns.
A creator running their own convention alongside their platform’s? This sounds oddly familiar to a shane dawson video

The lineup is gonna be hell for Twitch Con, I presume. Went to a local con and they had a mandatory covid passport system in place. It was a fantastic 3hr queue to get in for pre-purchased ticket holders on a balmy 85ºF sunny day. The first day was even worse, the lineup was so slow that people that waited all day couldn't even get in before the venue closed. If the con organizer doesn't have the resources to do it properly when it's not legally necessary to do so in the first place, they shouldn't even bother.
The fact that you just get into the topic instead of beating around it is so nice
watching this vid after watching the bretford vs man u game and seeing it here trending just reminds me of how shit they played and it hurts
Lud is overstating the amount of maskless people at AX.
I was there the 4 days, indoors you would struggle to find a maskless person in sea of hundreds of people in your vision
From My perspective there were a bunch of maskless attendees. But most were masked
I wish people could just police themselves. It's sad you need someone with a thermometer standing at a door telling you to go home.
Literally like visiting my dentist two years ago. You can’t walk in the door, someone has to go out to you in 100F weather and touch you with a temperature gun in the parking lot, then go inside and stand at another temperature taking screen thing as well. The dentist tried to turn my mom away once a few years ago with my younger siblings for having a high temperature (they weren’t supposed to do that) after she jogged across a sunny California summer parking lot to make it to the appointment. She was mad lol. It will be awkward if it’s like that again at this event when it’s been 2 years since it was like that
That works in fantasy land, but in reality, it's too much of an investment.
You spend months of your hard earned money on a flight, hotel, and ticket to the event. You feel sick the day of the event, but well enough to go out. Everyone is still going to go out in that situation. They spent all that time and money already, no refunds for the sniffles. Unless they are literally bedridden, they're going to go.
This is just the watered down twitch version of the tana-con disaster
I attended Twitchcon Amsterdam this year and there were A LOT of people that got COVID because there wasn't any requirements on vaccines and tests etc.
I love your mogul mails, it's nice to have different types of Ludwig content it keeps it refreshing.
I'm not anti vax. I just haven't gotten the vaccine. Guess that makes me anti vax
This is like the Michael Scott Paper Company arc of the office
"You wanna meet Poki, not catch Covi"
As long as you are healthy you do you basically if you get sick it’ll be a week off then that’s it they should’ve been clear from the get go as of rn people not wearing masks is pretty normal and frequently done it’s not like this is like 8-14 months ago

I think all events should be open with masks recommended . And that’s about it. The tools are there to protect yourself if you choose to do so .
Yeah, someone saying no requirements is a bit off putting, recommendations seems like the best way to go about covid. nowadays most people are informed and know about the precautions.
I'm just having flashbacks to the headlines from Tanacon
Nick is literally pulling a Tanacon LMAO
I don't think it's unreasonable to think that this is a response to a couple major streamers who got Covid at Twitchon-Europe. You can make a good business decision and do the right thing all in one swoop.
agreed but it is important to look at the business reason IMO
Oh no not Covid where you have to rigorously test to see if you have it
@@Avendesora lol do you know how natural immunity works. I swear it’s like we have never been sick before. It’s been 2 fucking years
A company I worked at did an internal study and found the temperature gun didn't help at all in preventing COVID from spreading, so they removed the daily check at the front gate.
It's kind of similar to security theater at this point, more psychological than actually effective.
Mainly because nobody has a fever for the entire time they're symptomatic and not everyone even gets a fever as part of their symptoms. So you're only filtering out a smallish portion of the symptomatic carriers of COVID, unfortunately.
Lud rocking the Bo Burnham merch.
abt the amsterdam tickets, NL had as of july around 10k cases of corona, so we have a no mask requirment because its mostly gone, but in the US it had around 100k in july so....
edit: our masks requirment went away in march!
My experience at PAX East this past April was pretty good. Vaccination required, mask required + enforced. And I mean enforced. Didn't hear a thing about people getting sick afterwards. They wanted a safe event and didn't ever back down from that.
A PAX East enforcer died from getting COVID at the con. People did get sick.
@@drcatboy9278 I didn't claim it didn't happen, only that I didn't hear anything. Of course some people giy sick. And, wouldn't you know it, someone died! Well, you see, it happens to be a deadly disease! That's how that works :)
Why is Lud all of a sudden responding to people. I thought he wasn’t our friend. Parasocial relationship alert
UwU !! You saw the post, you need to sub!!
He's just paying someone to message you guys, like onlyfan girls he's such a thot.
lol bro those thermometer guns don’t work at all
great video as always love the mogul mails:)
People are still worried about covid?
Such an idiotic point of view towards the unvacced
Thermal guns to check for a fever on entry are actually wildly ineffective for checking if someone has the vid
The fuck it baby it's done part was funny af 🤣
