Ludwig is a well-known Twitch streamer who has come up with a method that could become a new craze for the service (hopefully it doesn’t happen, really). Thanks to his ingenuity, he has managed to find a method with which to get subscribers as quickly as possible, however, the prize carries a punishment that not everyone could be willing to comply: you could be trapped on Twitch forever.
If you subscribe, I keep broadcasting
The rule is very simple. If a user subscribes to their channel, a floating counter that you can watch live will add 10 seconds to the remaining time. This countdown defines the moment in which the streamer can disconnect to rest, so if users continue to subscribe to their profile, the counter will not stop adding seconds and Ludwig will never be able to leave the PC.
Well, that is exactly what is happening, since currently the counter adds a total of 54 hours and 33 minutes, so our protagonist will not be able to separate from his bed (it is the area the camera is pointing at) until said time is up.
Time does not stop growing
But there is a problem, and it is that users do not stop subscribing. At the time of writing this article, the counter has grown by about 8 minutes, which is an increase of 480 seconds, or what is the same, 48 new subscribers in a very short time. Such is the rate that the counter does not stop growing, and after 7 days of broadcasting, the countdown does not seem to lose seconds.
Obviously the basic necessities are allowed, but he only turns away from the camera to complete them and returns to his room. For this reason it is very difficult for you not to see Ludwig in front of the camera, but if you do not see him, you know where he is. In any case, on more than one occasion he has continued with the broadcast by switching to the camera on his phone, so he has been seen making food in the kitchen and even taking a shower (with underwear, luckily).
When are you going to stop streaming?
At the time of writing this article, the meter totals 55 hours, so it has at least two full days of streaming left. It must be taken into account that several days ago it reached the figure of 66 hours, and for now the counter continues to remain fairly stable. The question is to what extent it will be able to maintain the number of subscribers, since otherwise the counter will end and the experiment will be over.
How much have you made from this idea?
Based only on the time remaining, the 55 hours on the counter translates into 198,000 seconds, which divided by 10 would give no less than 19,800 subscribers. By Twitch rules, streamers take $ 2.5 per subscriber (worst-case scenario), so the latest subscribers alone could have made you $ 49,500.
But if you want to do the full account, knowing that it has been required for 7 days of streaming, we would know that it has consumed a total of 604,800 seconds, which will mean the subscription of 60,480 users, or what is the same, a bonus of $ 151,200 . Not bad at all to spend most of the day lying in bed, don’t you think?
