TimTheTatman Reason For Leaving Twitch

Some of Twitch’s biggest streamers have been signed to YouTube’s platform. And TimTheTatman confesses he left Twitch for the same reason as Ludwig, who was recently signed.

We’ve seen a lot of Twitch’s most popular streamers go to other platforms in the last two years. Some streamers take chances by signing up for smaller platforms like Facebook Gaming or DLive. Others prefer to sign up with YouTube Gaming, which is a more secure option. 

At first, it appeared that individuals abandoning Twitch were doing so because other sites offered more money. 

While it’s true that prominent streamers have gotten better deals, Ludwig’s recent exit from Twitch demonstrates that it’s about more than simply money. TimTheTatman has also stated that he left Twitch for a similar reason. Ludwig Ahgren revealed on November 29, 2021 that he would be streaming entirely on YouTube. This follows his extraordinarily successful four-year career on Twitch, during which he rose to the position of #1 most subscribed streamer on the platform. Despite his affection for Twitch and its vibrant culture, Ludwig made the difficult decision to join YouTube Gaming.

Ludwig is a very open person with his fans, so we didn’t have to wait long for him to reveal all of his secrets. In a nutshell, he left Twitch because they didn’t fight hard enough to keep him on their platform. YouTube Gaming, on the other hand, was eager to offer Ludwig a better deal even after he had decided to stay on Twitch.

With such a well-known creator leaving Twitch, you can expect a slew of opinions. TimTheTatman, who stepped down from his lucrative Twitch spot earlier this year, shared his own sentiments. Tim confessed on stream that he moved to YouTube Gaming after a similar storyline. 

TimTheTatman stated after watching Ludwig’s video; “Obviously, I had my own decision-making process with YouTube and Twitch. All I’ll say is, I know Lud has been on Twitch for three or four years. I was on Twitch for about 8 or 9 years, and -uh- similar storyline, man.”

Tim went on to say that he no longer saw many of the folks he “truly met” on Twitch. He also mentioned that Amazon now owns Twitch, which could explain the impersonal nature of streamer/platform interactions.

Ludwig also noted in his leaving video that he was aware that Twitch employs thousands of people. He understands how long it takes a major corporation like Twitch to accomplish anything. However, showing these streamers that a larger organization values them, such as YouTube, was enough to win them over.
