Now, the 26-year-old creator has explained why YouTubers are more successful than Twitch streamers as more broadcasters work absurd hours.

Ludwig explains the difference between Twitch streamers and YouTubers

“Twitch streamers are like an underbelly. They’re like barely able to survive as humans,” Ludwig claimed during arecent podcast with influencers Colin and Samir. “Half of them Uber Eats every single meal. They never pay any of their bills. Taxes are something they just forget about. And I was the same, I was slipping,” the streaming star admitted.

“As opposed to YouTubers who are well put together, like basically Silicon Valley people to some extent – Twitch streamers will push themselves to go 150, 200, 250, 300 hours in a month, which is absurd. You know it’s like double a workweek just streaming.”

“So then it’s like, okay when are you doing your laundry man? And the answer is, they’re not.”

Previously, streamers likeLeague of Legends star Tyler1 have admittedthat their long 200 hour contracts are taking their toll, and could lead to the creator’s retirement.
