You should put a timer on your normal streams that count down to nothing and I guarantee you will get more viewers
@Don't Read My Profile Photo Okay, I won't.
@scale what does self promoting even do for you. more outdated than my grandma u gotta find something else
Also lemme ratio rq 😀
Bro I gotta do this this mad funny
Yessssss, he could even end stream if it gets down too far then come back up with the timer reset
its true , people like see number go ub down
The cycling guy getting greeted by that kind lady and her friend made me so happy
SAME it was so wholesome!
he got stream sniped
@@carykh it’s a wandering time traveler
Rob is awesome, he has the best interactions with random people
I heard Lud only likes it cuz it’s Japan
One idea could be make the subathon focused around bro vs bro. Each day you would face a new streamer, and rather than betting shoes or subs, you wager one day of the stream. So everytime you win, the person you beat has to take over the stream for the entire next day. This would provide a variety of content and allow for you to get breaks from the constant streaming. I expect to get paid for this idea
Yo that's actually a pretty sick idea, you should DM him on Twitter
holy moly AND this allows the other person to potentially grow their audience too!
5head idea, for sure dm on twt
I really dig the idea
a Whore-a-thon where the stream gets passed around for money. 🙏
Crazy idea. Send your roommates/friends/other streamers to different countries around the world and do a "pass the torch" subathon. Rather than sleeping on stream, pass the stream on to someone in a different time zone. The longer the subathon lasts, the longer everyone has to stay abroad.
I read this and thought you meant literally travelling to people in different regions of the world and passing on a literal torch. Then i reread it a couple minutes later
BEST. IDEA. EVER
actually a really really good idea
Holy fucck that is so cool
Dawg creamed himself on stream and just can’t let it go.
Same 😭
Where the clip?

Would be cool to see a charity subathon where the charity changes every 24 hours. Transparent, helps multiple different charities and people who are passionate about one charity but not so much the others may be inclined to support certain days. Could also be used as a rough metric for seeing which charities your community/the CZcams community overall feels the most passionate about.
This seems like a cool idea
This seems like a very cool idea
This is genius.
(Ik this comment doesn’t add anything, just want to boost 🙂)
Ooooooo now that’s some content
One problem that comes to mind is that people might selectively favour donating to 1 charity more than another
Could be cool if the charity that that days donations goes to was revealed after it had finished (the charity in question would be from a pre-revealed pool/group )
Ludwig a few months ago: “I’ll never do another subathon again. It’s like sequels to movies, they always suck afterwards.”
Also Ludwig: round 2 baby
Top gun maverick can change a man I suppose
i just watched that vid lmfao
empire strikes back and terminator 2 would like to have a chat
@@jonahbradley4593 I just watched it. It was phenomenal
@@madchef27 lol I agree, just quoting him
"I want to take money from large corporations and not you the viewers."
TotalBiscuit is shedding a tear for the pro-consumer content creator sentiment even from the great beyond.
its cool seeing him be too honest
Wasn't expecting to see the nod to TB here but I totally agree
True but TB is certainly rolling in his grave at react content and the current twitch meta
Definitely not the best quality content, but there’s something comforting about logging on to twitch and always having something to watch. Makes me nostalgic to the first subathon, not that the novelty hasn’t worn off after everyone doing it
@Don't Read My Profile Photo k
Ludwig fell off Miz is better
@@lilnino7649 Stop huffing copium
@@lilnino7649 ngl the only time I watch miz if there is a actually interesting person on his stream.
I've never watched a miz stream where he is actually by himself.
@@lilnino7649 you’re weird. Not for liking Mizkif but for thinking your opinion has value to this thread.
I would LOVE to see subathon similar to Jerma's dollhouse with a whole ass set where you can walk around and do your daily stuff but it doesn't have a wall and all kinds of wacky stuff can happen
YESSSS
was just about to comment this lol, obviously it would be a lot harder to pull off if he wants to make 100% of the profits go to charity, but it would be so cool to see something like this
I was thinking the same thing
A collab for a large scale dollhouse would be nice
Toast did a viewerthon a couple months ago, when he added 1 person to a total every 4 seconds, and when the total exceeded the viewership the stream ended. I thought that was a cool way of doing it, lasted about 5 days. He did a radio segment while he was asleep, with guest streamers over discord and chill music vibes. I like the way toast handles his channel, it’s very him.
The fact that he is trying to NOT be user funded and not milk money from his subscriber base is honestly such a unique thing that I've seen in content creation. He could truly milk it from both ends, get money from corporations and his users and he chooses not to. And for that he has my un-ending respect. Props to you Ludwig for being an upstanding guy. Also, go Patriots
So long as it doesn't make him beholden to those advertisers or turning to anything too exploitative or scammy (like nft rugpulls or laundering the image of oil companies) then I'm all for it
@@theelectricant98 again he could be doing all of that AND getting donations from fans as well. Whatever else he does, he isn't utilizing a very easy revenue stream for himself which is to be commended
A subathon with different creators taking up different time slots could be a great idea. Imagine 30 creators each having their own time slot to stream something for whatever time they want to contribute, each stream being part of a big charity event where all the viewers can go. That way each streamer will have to stream only for a few hours, and the content would be great
Sort of like what the Yogscast Jingle Jam is. Pretty cool idea
I was thinking the exact same thing! This way the content would be a lot better and they wouldn't have to come up with filler time
It'd suck to be the 4am streamer for wherever is the main demographic
I like the idea of having a huge empty room with a giant wheel that you spin when sub goals are reached. The wheel is filled with individual tasks which must be completed as quickly as possible. When the task is completed a picture of you completing the task is printed out and posted to the wall to show all the accomplishments done during the stream. Task could be irl or gaming related and possibly a list could be generated with the help of friends, mods, and chat months in advance through a Google forum thing possibly try to make some of the tasks chat interactive. This gives the stream the goal of completing the most amount of tasks in the allotted time of the subathon and shows a progression of how the subathon went by the end of the stream by a cool room filled with achievements.
Examples:
- Have a cake building contest with your roommates (or bread baking)
- do the one punch man workout while wearing a one punch man outfit
- draw/paint a self portrait
- drawing/painting contest against roommates (chat gives prompts)
- write a new comedy script like the one your read aloud from college (with chat prompts)
- play minigolf (I just like minigolf)
so like among us?
Actually really good idea. That would be dope.
That actually sounds sick
Also, every time you roll, you do a marbles on stream run to get another challenge
Mousey's subathon was my favorite event ever on twitch. So many of her friends took over the stream when she was sleeping, pretty much 80% of the whole thing was content. Huge collabs, huge ideias and also how much it meant to her in light of her conditions in life. An unforgettable event.
Those damn vtubers are too talented at making people laugh and feel good
Do you have many irl hobbies and friends
Dude, not to judge but just by looking at your profile, name, and the people you watch, your basically me 10 months ago, and I was super depressed at that time the same thing happened to my friend and his friend too NOT A COINCIDENCE since I also asked my discord group SAME DAMN THING please ask for help if your not depressed (Be honest) then ignore.
@@user-mm6wu3wy9w I thought the same thing. This depressed kid is genuinely hyped over a twitch streamer farming subs. And the streamer is just a drawing derived from anime
@@G-G._ very few
@@user-mm6wu3wy9w oh man good thing you're better now, but that bitterness might haunt you
Seriously Lud, you're my favorite content creator ever. Being this honest about content creation, letting us see behind the curtain all the time, begging your 'members' to buy the cheaper option, paying your mods, regretting doing the sub-a-thon because you had money, the list goes on and on and on. You're a golden lad, through and through. Keep it up!
Knowingly lying about the amount of money you made from said subathon for more then a week and then bashing out at the guy who corrected the numbers, stealing others work by reacting to it, justifying reactions and people reacting by saying that we only need to make companies do everything, and no creator should be responsible for doing immoral things, the list goes on and on. Ludwig isn't a great person is what I'm saying. He lives in his bubble. And I'm sure he's not a terrible person either, but don't praise him for doing things that ultimately benefit himself more than anything.
@@digl_live Hey, at least he owns up to mistakes. I praised him for the things he did right in this moment, and called him my favorite content creator, not a great person. There are so many examples of predatory, lazy, mean, and entitled creators out there, and Lud seems to be a cut above the rest, and provides quality content DAILY in both videos and livestreams; not to mention the podcast. I agree with you, but I don’t think your argument applies to my comment, as I’m only highlighting what I want to see more of.
@@digl_live "stealing others work by reacting to it" what are you a Nintendo employee 💀
@@-VexyRS it just felt pretty bad how even after a year passed he still said that a guy who corrected him was completely wrong, which is funny, because that guy then did math better, and corrected for everything, while Lud just ignored it, and only proceeded to apologize when he was confronted by viewers. While at the same time also making it into a joke and not a big deal. He never apologized to that guy, and as I said, even called him out a year later for being "wildly inaccurate", completely ignoring that guys good faith work.
@@kowal2486 what does it have to do with Nintendo? It's just what it is - reacting is stealing. CZcamsrs don't get money from exposure, and unlike videogames, you don't get a different experience by watching the video yourself compared to watching a reaction. Even though letsplays also have questionable morality, both parties (letsplayers and videogame creators) seem to benefit from this, so it's fine in my books. CZcamsrs however rarely if at all benefit from reactions to their content, which was proven time and time again.
I got hella chills watching the clip of the cyclist getting "stream sniped" in Japan. That was one of the most wholesome things I've ever seen.
it was so sweet i teared up :(
I really respect that you’re open about the money you earn, and how much money the average person gave you during your subathon. I like that you want to take money from corps that have mad amounts of money to give, especially with the cost of living going up for the average viewer😊
Yea... But there's a reason why only a small percentage of people have huge amounts of money... Because if you put that into everyone's hands it can give them much more of a harder time... Yea maybe for a while they'll be living their dreams but after that... It'll just get harder and harder for them... Read books about financing and inflation... It'll help you see why the people on twitter saying that the 44 billion Elon bished out for twitter can be just given away to end poverty... Life ain't like that... No matter what you do those on the lower spectrum of society will be the foundation of society and for that exact reason is why poverty cannot be completely cured...
He literally isn't but ok
@@twiistedpanda4781 44 billion would still put most out of poverty… yea a big part of financial stability is being smart with money, but if you hand a poor person more money than they need, that person won’t be poor for at least a little while, better than it being used to purchase a social media app
@@twiistedpanda4781 what do you suggest? we should just let the homeless and poor suffer? nice take bro, i think you solved it.

Some of my favourite twitch memories come from your subathon, to you that might be cringe but I got to know people in the community, because chat was quieter while you slept, we got to know the mods, we literally got to watch some of them pay off debts from the entertainment they gave us. I got to watch someone I've never met make their goals and dreams come true and we donated a heck ton to charity. There was drama, there was intrigue, there was so much fun, I found track mania and valorant that I still love from seeing you play it in the subathon. Nothing will ever compare to what you did and there was something so calming and exciting about waking up and checking you were still live, and 18hours later tucking into bed and checking in with the stream. Your subathon with the mod pod was never boring and for charity, Id love to see it all happen again.
i really enjoyed your subathon not only because of you, but also the community and the mods that ran it. doing bets with them (even though I always lost) was super fun and just having your stream play in the background of whatever I did was super fun
something im surprised no streamers have done is a joined subathon, where they kind of do the stream in shifts that align with their time zones, that way the content wouldnt get as repetitive and it would let them have the same energy that they have in normal streams*(idk tho)
while it is not a "subathon" this is already a thing with the group - StreamerHouse , which has been live 24/7 since 2013
it's not a subathon either but every year the Vlog brothers John and Hank Green organize a weekend long charity stream with multiple different creators that come on for a couple of scheduled hours and then change with the next shift. One half of the stream goes to a designated charity and the other goes to an audience voted one where people submit videos pitching their chosen charity and depending on the votes that determines how the money gets split. It's called Project 4 Awesome and its been going annually for over ten years.
Maji is doing that, when she sleeps or do something her mods or friends take over. Maji is one of the roomates to Wirtual if you dont know her ^^
Around the world in 80 streams
If you look at the guy who's riding around Japan, he's figured out something quite unique to him. Not only would most streamers not ride around their city for money, but they also don't live in Japan, which is just a cooler place to be lol. I feel like you could use LA as your backdrop. I think doing stuff IRL is the key. Especially if you're not looking to retread old ground, this subathon should not be in front of your computer or even in your streaming room. I think you shine when you're interacting with others, so perhaps there could be a way to include other streamers at times? Or just other regular people lol. Also would this be a capped or uncapped subathon? Because if you could ideally plan stuff ahead of time and have a schedule, it would make people hyped to watch. IDK that's all I got!
this would be AWESOME im just afraid for lud’s safety if some weirdo tries to attack him on the street or something lol
@@vampyro111 actually tho, especially since being out in public means peeps can pinpoint where you are fairly easily
i think hes said a couple times that he doesn't really like irl streaming but im sure he could figure something out.
@@mrmaxmondays I reckon irl streaming, especially high profile ones due to it being a subathon, would be more dangerous to do than usual.
I feel like the robcdee subathon is relatively safer since (1) it's in Japan and most of his viewers probably don't live there (except for the clip with the sweet old ladies), and (2) he's cycling and not walking.
Lmfao everyone from the US and UK glorifying Japan
I like how transparent and chill ludwig is. I've never really consumed his content but this phrase really sold me on him : I'm in a position to take the money from the corporations and not from you the average viewer.
I think the peak version of a subathon is having a Truman show style setup. A camera in every new room of the house, maybe two. That way we’re able to actually follow a person living their life instead of them just sitting at a chair for unreasonable amounts of time. It would also be much more dynamic to have some sort of portable stream deck that you could easily switch to the cameras as you switch rooms. It’s probably too expensive to produce something like that, but I think that is the future of 24/7 live steaming.
Agreed
I think it would be very cool to just see a huge cycle of content creators during the subathon. Especially if it's for charity, I'm sure streamers would happily devote some time. It would also give chat constant content and potentially show people some new creators!
YES! I suggested something in my own comment but it would work perfect with yours… Why does a subathon have to be a constant 24/7 live? Other marathons just happen consistently everyday the same time of day. Lud could line up activities with content creators, and if stream stays going for enough days we get to see the planned out stream ideas and collabs.
Yeah if it’s for charity he could do a thing when he needs a break, needs to prepare something, or just wants to bring on other creators, where he can let someone else takeover the stream for 30min or so. And maybe if he can get other people in on it he could set goals and if those goals are met, he can bring on certain creators and let them hijack the steam, do a challenge or something like that!
The appeal to me for subathons was just being able to assume someone was live. Not having to worry about schedules, inconsistent streamers, time zones and whatever, you can just tune into “THE PointCrow stream”, because of the 24/7 uptime. That’s honestly worth quite a lot.
Unlike Ludwigs most have a lot of dead air and no content while sleeping. It makes me check out their streams less, because I assume nothing is going on.
Also PointCrow had a good scheduling system that made use of the working force of his mods and friends to keep doing content while he was away from the camera.
That is such a good move towards actually doing 24/7 real enjoyable content.
Yes, you're there to watch HIM, but while you're there, you can actually enjoy any moment you tune in because someone, or some people, are interacting with the chat and actually doing stuff.
I love that I followed this channel and I'm glad that Lud is the content creator and person that he is. Excited for the next subathon I know it's gonna be great
A jerma dollhouse-esque subathon kind of thing would be absolutely awesome and original
As a fan of your's, I'll admit that I've felt the same doubts you have about whether the subathon was draining money from your fans. Especially because not all, but some of the content was filling airtime. I'm really glad that you shared your feelings on it, because I think it means a lot that a content creator at least takes the time to deeply contemplate the ethics of being funding by viewers, regardless of what decisions you ultimately make. Thank you Ludwig, I've gained even more respect for you as a creator, and hope I can support you even more now :)
And yeah, I think a charity subathon, that is more curated rather than just chatting, is an excellent idea! I fully support that, and look forward to seeing any plans you make in the future!
Just giving respect for the essay you wrote
For a subathon idea:
- Create a sitcom styled sound stage, maybe even sell audience tickets
- chat can trigger canned laughter, applause or gasp by spamming keywords
- have various guests drop by each day
- try to come up with a dumb generic sitcom story / challenge each day and treat it like an episode
This is just what dollhouse was but worse
this go hard as freak
this with a rotating charity almost treating it like the ad reads in truman show yes that would go hard
@@shilomp4 no offense to anyone, but watching a few content creators try to create a sitcom would be so cringe and bad. It takes teams of talented writers, directors, and actors to create a show.
@@ScorpV1 I'm not sure what you are on about, there have been tons of great sitcoms. Even the worst would still be way better than what a content creator could do, though.
I loved the subathon. I never closed the stream tab. I watched it everyday, whenever I was on my pc and I enjoyed the hell out of it. I was there when it started and when it ended and it was totally worth watching for a full month. I would love to see another one happen in the future. I'm sure it will be great, but it probably won't top the first since it is a sequel and sequels tend to be a little bit worse than the original. Anyways, love the content. Keep it up :D
Awesome idea! Pointcrow just did a subathon with a twist, every sub spun a wheel for a random amount of time added to the clock, with a small chance for a “legendary” roll that added 5 minutes to the clock. I thought it was a really cool idea that added some fun to the timer aspect.
You could also give time, say modcast hours, to the charities themselves/streamers partnered with those charities and they could do q&a or something
I think a travel subathon would be really cool, the stream with Reckful and Sodapoppin visiting Japan was an amazing set of streams, that probably could have been made into a subathon of some sort.
Reckful also streamed with Robcdee before that which were also very awesome streams
Do a subathon so that viewers can add time to the stream by contributing to the community. Viewers could go out and volunteer or do an activity that benefits their city. You could partner with an association that could verify viewer's participation and have each hour count as an amount of time added to the stream. Another way is you could also have viewers subscribe to a smaller streamer you pick each day or week and every sub they gain could add time as well. Just some ideas!
I think verifying takes too long, but I love the idea and encourages viewers to touch grass
Too many viewers havent seen the sun. Wouldnt work
Ludwig is just a good guy. So glad he's my friend.
It’s actually quite inspiring how much of a genuinely good person you are. Most big streamers look for ways to earn as much as possible, i.e the Ninj, but Lud is always so open about how much he makes and so willing to give back to the community. Mad respect bro.
What about a dual subathon where the other person streams while the other sleeps and vise versa? Then the two creators have a small over lap during the day which generally produces better content then one stream solo again when the other goes to bed?
this sounds like a great idea
That sounds pretty sick
Ludwig + Magnus Carlsson subathon 👀
Call it a triathalon and get tow other creators from europe and asia to stream, each get 8h of the day
@@BOBBOB-ft1ij I didn't even consider time zones, that would be extremely efficient I feel
A group subathon would be sick, where a live channel could become like a tv station and have a lineup of acts from different streamers, maybe guests streamers, to spread the burden of a 24/7 stream that is still entertaining
I think adding the elements of escape puzzles could be fun. Like "in order to end this subathon i have to solve a series of puzzles, beat this series of game, and solve the final riddle" Something where there is a natural progression and the next "challenge" to do / beat. Some good games are the classic jump king, polybridge?, Myst (hard classic puzzle game), elden ring / dark souls, beating melee all-star with all characters? Some cool puzzles are mechanical puzzles on amazon or online somewhere else (these are physical puzzles that you can passively do on stream). And the final riddle can be kinda like a treasure hunt or elaborate ending to the entire event (solve part 1 to get a long/lat, go there to find the next piece, etc) something like "the final adventure to end the stream"
You could add more abstract things like (break a WR, face a fear, reach a new personal best, etc.) this would give more variability and you can try different things for each category.
Your subathon inspired me to do a 30-day stream in January, subs added to the time, but it wasn’t about money or subs, it was about the time, streaming for 30 days was the best time I’ve had on this platform in the past 9 years, waking up and cracking straight into a conversation, I loved it.
(The stream actually ended up being 782 hours)
However I felt terrible at the end of it, since I didn’t achieve anything, I felt as if I hadn’t provided my viewers decent content for the time they were there.
As a result of that feeling, I planned another one for September, a month long stream, but this time with scheduled plans and an idea for content going in, such as involving fellow creators in my niche by having them as guests on a game show. The fact that I have a plan this time is already making me happy, as I’m just able to enjoy my time live with chat.
Maybe something like the dollhouse stream where chat can either vote on what happens around you but just less produced so it's easier to do
You need to do something so over the top that it gets it out of your system forever. I've been a fan since before your first subathon and I can tell that it's been haunting you. You need to go all out and only then can you put it behind you.
Subathon with Truman show style ads, except the ads are small streamers from around your area. Each day or two you rotate in a new streamer in person. The streamer that is rotated in would pick the charity they want donated to for the time they are there. This serves three purposes: 1. Charity 2. Helping build the CZcams streaming community 3. Having fresh content since the small streamers won’t be exhausted.
I came up with this idea(While watching this video) for an inceptathon where basically it's like a normal subathon but instead of sleep streams or breaks a group of streamers basically take shifts while the others are resting/sleep/eating/whatever else. This way there's at least always someone trying to make content on stream. I think this is a cool way for someone like you(ludwig) to promote creators smaller then them in a similar way to how you did it with the Top Gun comp.
You could team up with a couple different creators and get together for as long as it takes, or you could have each creator get say 8 hours of time a day, then it would switch to the next person, I feel this would allow for better quality content, and you could even plan some of it if you were inclined to do so.
❤️
I really liked the jump king stream so trying a bunch of speedruns would seem fun for a subathon. Also if you're as much of an athlete as you claim you are you could have subs translate into you doing some form of excercise. Could also learn how to cook on stream and by the end of the day try to make dinner for qt and have her be a judge.
Rock climb stream
@@bluewuppo bruh should've added that! Rock climbing stream with Toast cause ludwig won that bro vs bro against him
I think subathons are dope, its an awesome experience to tune into the stream before work, get back, and youre still apart of the same stream. Im proud of you for making your sub amount 1$, I think its honorable. Excited to see your next subathon!
I saw ppl already commented that but I do think something similar to the jerma dollhouse or the carnival, partnering up with a cool company to create a fun project and include chat participation is something I can't get enough of, it keep people really engaged, makes for easily clipable stuff and comps and makes it fun to donate! And best of all is seeing the streamer actually have fun with it as well!
I like the mindset that you have when it comes to success on CZcams. Instead of relying on kindness by strangers you try to make good content to keep us watching.
This means that you can develop your content brain even more. And grow even bigger then ever before.
You can only rely so much on kind people or a community.
And as we all know, its about the pilot not the plane.
I think it would be sick to do like some big brother type of stream, not challenge wise but like you have cameras that you can cut to or have up on the stream to watch different areas. Of course they would only be in more public areas like kitchen and living room but I think it would add a lot more to the stream and seem more like a tv show.
LIKE SO LUD WILL SEE!
I’ve had this idea for a while. I think it would be super cool to do a “cascade subathon” if that is the correct term for it. Basically pick like 5 or so creators/streamers and let’s say lud is first. If chat let’s his timer run out it automatically goes to the next in line in the 5 or whatever streamers who are part of it. It basically cascades over time. Next at bat if you will. A collective. And this Cascade goes on till the timer hits zero on the last streamer and whichever streamer gets the most time picks a charity for whatever agreed percentage of the total money earned is. Would LOVE this
I always thought a Survivor/Big Brother type subathon with multiple streamers would be interesting. They would be voted off by their timer running out.
Dude, you’ve gotta learn completely new skills on stream. Like stuff you’ve never done before. First thing to my mind is skill stuff like juggling or learning to yo-yo. Yo-yos could actually be super badass. I wanna see how good you can get from practicing something over the course of the subathon
A charity subathon is a good idea imo, allowing viewers to like vote on the games you play and utilizing the predictions more would be great to keep everyone engaged. Tbh I’d watch regardless cuz I like ur content, but I feel like the more casual viewers would show up as well if they can have a direct input into what you’re doing during the stream
“Subathons are boring” - the reason I started watching Twitch was for that (kinda parasocial) sense of “community” in a stream. While I love curated content too, there is a huge value to just hanging out and laughing with chat. Subathons bring this vibe typically found with small streamers to the big ones. There is something special about your favorite streamer having one BIG event that makes you feel like you were part of channel history. It makes you feel rewarded for being dedicated to the channel.
Could have a marbles vote at the end of each day to for the next days activities.
Keeping in mind having each one fully planned out before hand, permissions etc. Rockclimbing, sponanious day/ 2 day trip flying to meet up with x creator or see y landmark, city wide scavenger hunt (like a mini amazing race, having a set up crew always 1 stop ahead of you while doing challenges.), where/what to eat. (keeping in mind getting pre approval to stream, and having options broad enough that it makes sniping events harder.)
or
I think it could also be cool just having collaborations planned throughout seeing if you can do things with the content creators that inspire you. With little mini charity events, making the overall subation a something for charity, but then providing an additional donations to the charities picked by the person you chose to collaborate with for that days stream.
or
GWL (Gaming With Ludwig)
GDQ but its anything but fast. Where you take us through games you might have found influential to your life. Or bringing in the last one, you pick a collaborator and you play their favorite game, them guiding you through discussing it and its influences on them. (Or yall just spitball podcast style during the playthrough like the grumps or oneyplays. Again donating that days or collabs money to the charity of their choosing.)
Not a clickbait title! Wow I definitly thought this was just gonna be looking at the overabundance of subathons but I am very glad we may get a subathon2 electric bugalo!
doing data analysis right now and the pie chart breakdown at 1:26 was great. 😆
I feel like a great Idea for a subathon is where the majority of the content is collaborative, Inviting new people who aren’t already burnt out from constantly streaming
I really feel like the og subathon was never loved because of the content/videos that came out during it. It was awesome and so beloved because of the moments from it. Fixing the fridge, making yeast wake up by yelling at it, QT ratting out the fact lud never has tp, movie nights, trucking fucking and sucking. Those things were the reason I loved the subathon at least.
you know how faze tried to do a live stream house 24/7 as a competition. you can do a house full of cameras and you can donate to add time or to make random things happen in the "Fun House"
I lived for the pokemon and gym portions of the subathon. It motivated me to work out again. Good times
What people really cling to psychologically is their influence upon their environment. This is what makes streamers and subathons so appealing: _the accessibility the viewer has to influence._ If there was some way in which people can tangibly see or hear their influence (i.e. r/place) in the form of a stream, I feel like that would at least partially solve the issue of long spans of down time.
I also feel like subathons are very tied down to the individual streamer, when I feel like there could be more creativity. Having a *cat/pet subathon, a subathon surrounding a fictional character* (other than a VTuber) or a *subathon with multiple streamers* could be another possibility.
Obviously there are a metric shit ton of specifics to iron out in these suggestions.
I think the one thing Ludwig’s subathon had over everyone else is that he could throw in Nick Slime Aiden and QT for just chatting and it was always so very funny
commit a crime run from the police and when someone donates you have to run for one more minute. when the timer hits zero you turn yourself in to law enforcement.
How about a Group-Subathon? Like you and a couple other people rotate so it doesn't get boring. Kind of like working in shifts and every one could plan at least a little bit what they want to do on stream
You could do a multi streamer subathon, maybe every 10 or 12 hours it switches to another streamer? That way it would be much more content driven and you could cut out all the boring stuff like sleeping. Of course the streamer would have to be a "closer" streamer to your viewers like OTV or the other guys of the yard. And maybe have a central "challenge" or theme so even if its different streamers it still feels connected. Of course, switching back to you much more often.
You can tell dude riding the bike just wants to meet people . He looked so happy to have someone notice him
BOYS! Upvote! Charity subathon called Find the Charity. Lud gives random clues about the charity over time, along with clues about where in his city the charity is hiding. It could be a poster for ludwig and the charity, a bumper sticker, someone walking around in a shirt, a tarp on someones roof, it could change up for the different charities. Maybe there is a QR code or key phrase on the found poster that they have to say in chat before they video in on discord showing they are at the poster.
Pokémon go lol?
@@cameronhaste283 gotta catch 'em all!
Im a CZcams frog and as a CZcams frog Subathons can be great, when the creator makes a lot of videos out of it. Additionally you get a lot of nice clips and it just feels like more is going on that usually and right now I have way too much time so its exactly what I need.
Same, as someone who doesn’t go on twitch having Ludwig update the CZcams about it kept me in the loop about it, whereas someone like PointCrow I only found out about his subathon afterwards cus he made a video on it and I only found out about Tubbo’s Subathon because he announced that it had ended on Twitter
I was once a CZcams frog but after watching a subathon for 20 days it made me a twitch frog xqcL
I think something cool would be a collaborative subathon where people take shifts but can also overlap for collab content but that way there's always something going on.
BUT that would require a lot of planning work and also a lot of physical work during the actual subathon.
Doing it for a charity or something is a cool and fun idea. The people subbing and donating get to feel like they're a part of something positive and not just something memey for your financial benefit
Something similar to the jerma dollhouse stream with enough production and rotating characters could end up working really well as like a "Truman show" style subathon so it isn't just boring content and there can be like scheduled content too? Would probably take a lot of production but could end up working out really well
I think if you could have a bunch of automated devices that can be triggered upon memberships, that could keep things interesting. Like the paintball gun thing William Osman made. Maybe enlist him to create a plethora of things that are member controlled.
You don't need to do a subathon, you can do something like a charity month where you stream everyday for how much ever time and everyday is a different charity, you can bring on new people everyday to the content is fresh and we get to see unexpected collabs
Hate to be pessimistic but aren’t the majority of charity’s pretty corrupt?
@@tcsprynce5748 yeah but you can find plenty of reputable ones there are atleast more than 31 for sure
honestly even tho the content of your subathon wasnt the best you ever did or anything i still enjoyed it. the movie nights, cooking streams and random shit like fixing the fridge were amazing
Not sure of there details, but I watched tubos stream one day and he was was just living his life and camera angles would switch as he walked room from room. I think it would be cool to have a mix of that and jermas doll house stream where it feels like the viewers are flies on the wall as you do whatever. You would probably have to rent a space because of your roommates or you could have it more like a sitcom with them being the characters.
the edited recaps of the subathon will always be more fun for me
Honestly even though the og subathon was cool, my favorite parts were from the late night movie nights or the modcasts. It was cool having late night hours of the mods taking over with their own content ideas like playing Golf with friends or curated CZcams playlists. Maybe filling the empty time with other content creators (upcoming ones you think are cool and should have some spotlight?) would be a great way to keep content engaging without losing the subathon “my content creators has been live for 20 days” feel
Ludwig's Charity House - Jerma dollhouse inspired subathon where donating to charity keeps the "Game time" running. Viewers can donate more to have things happen throughout the day. Would be the over the course of several days/weeks, so events would be spread out more. Kinda give the Truman show vibe. Only take how much you need to keep production going and have the rest go to charity
I think this is a really cool idea, particularly when you mentioned Shia LaBeouf. If you remember back in 2016, Shia placed a flag in the middle of a random field. People then worked out where the flag was by looking at the time of sunset and the air-traffic over head. They reached the location and took it down. It was sort of like IRL geoguesser. (Admittedly, the people that did that had some unfortunate views) It would be cool if you did something similar on your stream where you had you and your mods set up flags at a static camera angle and viewers had to go get the flag IRL. If they could post a picture of them with the flag on your subreddit, they win a portion of the proceeds.
I know this comment section is going to be flooded with “Oh but XYZ streamer did this and that, they didn’t have a boring subathon. But genuinely Pointcrow made his subathon extremely presentable. He made everything seem pre planned and predetermined for around a month, when In reality he was winging it, but he’s a good presenter
Pointcrow's subathon was my addiction for its entire duration. It certainly didn't help with school, but I watched every day, set an alarm to be up for 69420 subs... It was truly an experience to be part of.
A subathon in the woods to see how long you’d survive
mr beast is that u? lol
Hey Lud! So I actually discovered you THROUGH your subathon. Heard about you and checked out your content, been a CZcams frog ever since. Depending on how this Truman Show-esque subathon goes, maybe have milestones in it for possible guests? I think having guests would be a very interesting way to keep the ball rolling and keep it fresh.
you could do something like logan paul with his 99 originals, or something more like 100-day challenges
Obviously, you wouldn't be going on for this long but having multiple clear defined goals throughout the substation would be super interesting to watch you further develop and grow throughout it.
could be something like
-learning calisthenics tricks (handstand, l-sit)
-learning gymnastics stuff (backflip, carwheel)
-learning craft (drawing every day, sewing, embroidery)
also a bunch more stuff too, just thought this would keep it fun for us and you as well :)
You could do a travel subathon. Go coast to coast in a month. Show everything you do and all the stops taken. You get a trip out of it and we get to see the country with you. Finally all the donations go to charity. Easy sponsorship so you don’t even have to pay for the trip 🔥
Imagine having to work for your vacation
@@grandmaster6656 dont we all somewhat have to work for a vacation..
Imagine having a subathon where if you don't get enough donations by the time you finish a game you've never played, the streams over. This gives you leeway in taking your time with a game if you want, and chat gets some fresh new content.
Not the best idea, but I'm not gonna stress on it.
Maybe you could have the subathon lined up like how a kickstarter campaign works? The more money donated, and more time put up, the longer you're on, and you have a lineup of things to do to get chat excited? Like at X money you'll do bobbing for apples every X amount of money donated after that, or at X money you'll incorporate something into the subathon stream that you do sometimes. Like after 20k dollars or so, you would incorporate chat paintballs Ludwig every 1k or something.
One recent subathon that was pretty unique was PointCrow's subathon, he did it so every sub added a random time between 1 and 60 seconds, and you could see your roll above the timer so it pretty much turned the subathon itself into a game. There was also a 1/420 (nice) chance to get a legendary roll that adds 5 minutes for every sub, and like a 1/1000 chance (or something along those lines) that every sub cuts a minute from the timer. It doesn't change many of the other issues with a subathon (he actually watched the video on this channel about if the subathon was greedy ironically), but it makes it constantly interesting even when he was away and no one was in the room.
I think everyday should have a theme like today we're gonna learn how to do pottery or today we're going to learn how to do a backflip that way you're at least bettering yourself instead of feeling like you're just here to entertain us
You should consider a variety subathon. Do 1 week of stream but have the content change on a day to day basis. You stream when you wake up and until you go to sleep for all 7 days, but the subs translate into what you do. For example, on day one you could be *cycling* and have the distance be based on subs, and you can't break unless the subs break. Day 2 you could play games but have more chaos based on the amount of subs, etc. Have subs equal quality, not quantity.
must be NEEDING another million
Subathon roulette, each new sub adds time and also suggest a new activity. The top 20 (x number) activities go into a roulette at the beginning of the day and that is the thing you will do (go to the amusement park, visit x streamer, playthrough an entire game, etc). Depending on the type of activities you are willing to do, you can have a list with options or completely free for subs' ideas, but maybe with a reward/punishment system when you succesfully do it or fail. If an activity is done in that day and you have time, you spin the roulette again.
Look at Tectone's subathon which ended a couple weeks ago, it was rather entertaining and most of the time he just did what he'd normally do. Also the wheel made it a lot less boring than it could've been without it. 👍
I was a huge fan of your first subathon and I think its cool that your considering a second one. I think if you wanted to spice it up you could have a preplanned timeline where donation goals could have events happen or challenges added.
Maybe one of the things you could do is play elden ring but if X number of dollars are donated you have to restart, or drop items etc (not to knowledgeable on ER but something like that) It gives people an incentive to donate because it prolongs the stream not from a timer going up but having to endure the challenge. Another ludlocke would also be cool. You could spin a wheel after every gym that adds a restriction to your run, and if X amount is raised chat could add another option to the wheel.
Something similar to Jermas dollhouse would be interesting to watch, again goals reached could have events added and maybe one of the goals IS to add another day to the stream. I know not the most in depth idea but something similar to that would be cool to interact with.
Just some quick ideas that came to my mind, still whatever you do I'll be looking forward to it.
The idea made me think of the dollhouse stream, something similar to that, obviously you can't just recreate jermas idea, but a stream where the viewers can interact with the streamer through other people or different mediums to make it more interesting, would be fun. Don't know how you could implement the increased length or viewer interaction portions, just thought I'd throw my two cents in and show some support for the idea.
Ive lived and worked in Japan for a decade now, im blown away that Obachan heard/watched that guys trip very cool
i honestly really like the subathon style of streaming. yes it’s not as high level content, but knowing you can always tune in at any given time to a streamer, even if it’s just watching vghs gives you comfort. I didn’t feel like i lost out on good content when i couldn’t watch your subathon stream but i was always entertained while watching. not really helpful for your subathon 2 but just my 2 cents
I have some ideas,
1, Invite guests to the house, You can even use some of the sub money for flights and such thats okay, But only whoever you are friends with on a personal level. Not just a "here is XQC cuz he is popular, And do stuff with them, Bro vs Bro or something like a "game show"
2, You could have 3 cameras in the house so you can do stuff in the living room and kitchen in case the room is too small for all the people,
3, have small contests with subs, Like a random battle tournament for the subs but a shorter one. maybe even smash or something,
4. Try out new games for 1 hour, "hopefully indies mostly so it you arent bleeding your wallet out. that way you can give some games a little publicity and help some game devs out.
5. make a weekly schedule, For example, Monday = mostly gaming and whatever on the side, Tuesday is outside day so you spend atleast 3-4 hours outside or working out. and so forth.
I really liked Quin69s first subathon. It had a proper end goal with killing Maven in POE after which no more time was added to the timer, which made most of the Subathon be nicely concentrated on gameplay. Quin threw in some great IRL content with scuffed interactions with the locals (it is Quin afterall) and it was in general just a fun time with an actual goal.
I think if you're going for public community cam style, it would be really cool / cute to make a robot camera that goes around the country (or just california) with some people you trust, and you hand it off to different content creators in different areas (mainly so that they are a good vehicle for it), and like drop it off at parks / local monuments and stuff, and the charity part decides where the bot goes / what the creator has to do with the bot (like go on a date with it, go to a waterpark, etc), and the bot has the camera feed from its eyes. It would be easiest to ask CZcams for resources honestly cuz idk where you'd get that 24/7 signal
