The thing with twitch is that the ads make you miss a ton of content. You could miss a joke or the final match of a tournament and you can’t rewind.

So proud of Mogul Mail for his really fast channel growth and now he's able to do ad sponsorhips

It's amazing how Mogul mail can sneak into Ludwig's office and not get caught over and over again

Im so glad mogul mail is over 1 mil. I love when small, up and coming creators get big!

i actually really appreciate your breakdown of this bc as a viewer ive been a bit confused and not understood the ad incentive program and why it’s so appealing to so many smaller streamers but your explanation made total sense, thank you!

Damn he’s really out here grinding videos for this channel… At this point I’m convinced he’s the puppet master for all of this drama so that he can consistently upload to hit 1Mil subs ☠️

I honestly am not that interested in news like this, but the way Ludwig is able to make this news seem interesting makes me absolutely love these vids and i keep watching them. You can really see Ludwig has the talent of a good news reporter. Keep up the good work, im lovin it!

My biggest issue with Shorts is not knowing how they effect other videos you post. Because a short does really badly, does that mean my next youtube video is gonna do badly? Similar to how if a regular video does badly, the algorithm is less likely to push your next video, or what I've experienced in the past.

You've become one of my favorite KZfaqrs in a period of 2 weeks. Good shit. Absolutely hilarious and informative!

The 4K videos being strictly for premium users makes sense from a business stand point since the only real marketing point for premium was the "No ads" thing which could be blocked by ad blockers anyways so making a video resolution special to premium only makes sense since you can't really get around that (at least that I know of) and it'd give someone a real reason to join rather than just downloading a free ad block program

Congratulations for 1 mil Lud! Very impressive, especially for a side channel. I'd also like to add that this channel is one of the most informative, interesting, and well-made news channels that I've ever watched. Thanks for everything!

Im excited for mogulmails first stream tommorow

Thank you Rocket Money for helping Mogul Mail man get money back from the Ludwig Invitational

The benefit of shorts channels and vod channels was that I could choose which ones to subscribe to and control what ends up in my subscription feed. Will be very interesting to see if I can get a similar level of control with everything in different tabs but all on one channel

This channel has to be one of the best on the platform, thankyou for keeping us updated ludwig!

It's great news that mogul mail has finally taken over Ludwig's channel. About time.

Personally I like mogal mail better than main channel it keeps me up to date on things I love!

This man just became the enemy of Ludwig

Great Job Mogul Mail on hitting 1 Million in such a short time you deserve it

“Competition breeds innovation” - LudCapitalist

Wow I can't believe this mongol mail lad made it this far from scratch, truly an inspiring success story.

If you're watching a stream and have the opera browser, you can do a workaround by popping out the smaller muted video of stream, unmuting it, muting the ad and then enlarging the popped out image. It allows you to both see and hear the stream as the ads play in the background

Can't believe Mogul Mail just killed Ludwig.

Would like to add some info on the ad rev for Twitch: It varies depending on which region your viewers are from. 95% of my viewership is from the Philippines. Twitch offers me in the range of 100-150 usd a month for 7min/hour. A similar-sized streamer (US Based, same follower/viewer count as me is being offered 800-900usd a month for 5min/hour

I've actually been watching these videos as well as MoistCritical's for information on streaming platforms, because I'm currently trying to decide where to start based on what will work best for me, and it's crazy how much things have been changing over the last few months. This video has been incredibly informative, thank you. And early congrats on 1 million subs, dude! 🎉

1 mil subs in a year is a great accomplishment. Keep doing what you're doing, the content is amazing.

I think if streamers included the ad structure into their stream format this could really incentivize people to subscribe/ get turbo. For the duration of the ads the streamer could momentarily pause the activity they are doing & the ad break could be used to actively chat & interact with the chatters for the whole time. Subscribers feel better cause they get to interact with the streamer, non subs feel better cause they’re not missing out on content, and twitch is happy because money. Basically just turn the ad time into community & chat time.

Really appreciate how you handle referring to other channels. Use a clip to get a point across, and then tell people to check it out. Nice and simple. Just also put the links in the description in the future!

Imagine if there's a small percentage of people who only know Ludwig from mogul mail

So proud of mogul mail getting his first ad, he's grown up so fast 😥

Little add on: a Big part of the issue with the x min of adds per hour is also that they’re automated so they’ll interrupt a stream at bad times with the creators not having any control of when it’ll happen which will ruin the experience for everyone involved… (as I understand it at least)

So glad to see Mogul Mail is growing, that other youtuber Ludwig won’t be able to keep up at this rate

Good to see that Mogul Mail is growing so well. Love the format. Now on twitch issues with the apps, why don't they add a feature that notify the streamers when the ads are going to start and this way the can take a break and not interrupt the stream for everyone that is watching at that time.

Any way to have the ad read at the beginning? I feel one of the big things that is appealing about Mogul Mail is the almost stream of consciousness pace. Having the ad cut in the center throws it off, or maybe it was because it right after “and now I’ll play a few seconds of this video” into an ad. I’m very happy that this channel has grown enough to have ad sponsorship, maybe just test around to not break the flow? ❤

Man I love mogal mail! It would be so cool to watch him do more casual stuff, like watching TikToks or playing games : )

I'm glad to hear that livestreams will be separated! As much as I like sykkuno and lilpichu they never unlisted their livestreams

Ludwig is the master of making a small channel into a big one in a small ammount of time, one of the best contents from youtube is right here.

Damn Ludwig should take notes, this mogul mail guy is good.

CONGRATS ON THE MILLY MOGUL MAIL. I CANT BELIEVE THE FAST SUCCESS OF THIS SELF MADE CHANNEL

I've always found it odd that Twitch makes you watch an ad when you enter a stream. Seems like it would discourage people from giving something a chance or browsing around if they know they'll immediately have to watch an ad.

Nice haircut Mogul Mail! Hopefully Ludwig doesn’t copy it again…

"Facebook is not tall enough to ride this ride". Took a decade to finally hear that, but it feels good, man.

this is insane lud!! i remember when you started this channel and it’s came so far. congrats on 1M, mogul mail!

I didn't know Twitch Turbo was still a thing, if it still works the same as a few years ago then that's an amazing deal. I pay £12 a month for KZfaq Premium so paying half that for no ads on a platform where people spend a lot more time per month is straight up value.

Susan be fuming lmao

CONGRATS ON 1 MIL!! :D

The ads thing is interestingly in the UK, TV is limited to 7mins of ads per hour. It’s liveable but people do skip them

Dude I’ve been with this channel since day one, wild to see how much it’s grown!!

it’s so crazy how many things he’s been able to do and accomplish after making the switch to youtube, best move he could have ever made especially since twitch is swiftly killing their platform. youtube needs to start capitalizing more on twitch’s mistakes and make big upgrades to the live streaming and shorts so more streamers will come to youtube.

That 4k thing totally makes sense, most people don't have high enough quality equipment to film well in 4k and really make the most of it. And most people don't even watch 4k if it's an option

The main reason I don't watch twitch isn't the ads themselves, but the lack of regulation for them. Literal unskippable ads when I hop into a stream or a random ad in the middle of a tense or exciting moment makes me immediately leave. So if you allow the streamers to choose when and how many ads are played, I will watch twitch 100x more than I do. Like, just imagine if you were watching the super bowl or the world cup and they could just play an ad at any random time, there would be literal riots.

Small thing, I appreciate that these videos are very raw and clearly filmed shortly before upload. Noticed the Twitter trends aligned with tonight’s football games. Thanks Mr. Mail!

5:59 I think the easiest way for creators to benefit from this would be simply by using it as an excuse for the health of themselves and chat to take a little break from sitting there watching a stream for hours on end uninterrupted. "Hey Chat, I'm going to take a little break and stretch/pee/get a snack. I'm gonna run a little (3 minute) ad." Chat is either going to: block the ads with an adblocker anyway, hang out for 3 minutes while the ad runs, or do the same thing. I know advertisers don't really want that because they want people to be exposed to the actual ads, but if people just walk away from their computer then basically if an ad is playing in the forest and nobody is around, does it still make a sound?

The split youtube tabs are SO GOOD unfortunately the way yt works and its weird random rollouts, idk how many people have it yet. I have it on both mobile and desktop, but asking around there's still people that still don't have the feature

This guy acts like Ludwig, absolute unit. Respect for trying to be like your hero, keep pushing!

Mogul mail tryna feel like our dads today

YT recently sent me down the Ludwig rabbit hole, and I gotta say I'm loving the videos it keeps shoveling at me. But since I'm apparently jumping through several years of Ludwig (and QT) content at random, the constant hair color changes are really jarring. Like, for Lud and longtime viewers it changes very infrequently and apparently due to unlucky wheel spins or challenge losses. But for me Lud's hair color is on shuffle. It's not actually a problem, but it makes for a pretty goofy "newly found youtuber deep dive" experience.

One streamer I watch did the 3mins ad and made it work with his chat. When it was time for ads he stopped gaming or doing any content, took that time to grab a drink or use the washroom, he really made it work and his chat loved it. Twitch took away the 3mins option so he went back to 1 or 2mins until they give him back the 3min option.

Love this channel. I love sources were people really inform people about things they know.

I always thought the twitch ads thing to be positive, ever since they first rolled it out for some partners in June. The creator can choose to do it manually or automatically, and if they do it automatically, they can also choose the number of ad breaks, they can choose when these ad breaks happen, and they can choose the duration of said ad breaks, it allows them to have some control, even if the minutes per hour doesn't change. However, I also do the increase in minutes per hour isn't great. 1, 2 and 3 minutes were already a lot originally, less than youtube, but still a lot for live content. Now 5 minutes? 8 minutes? That's way too much. For 8 minutes, if you split it in 30 seconds ad breaks, that's 16 ad breaks an hour. And if you split it in 2 minutes ad breaks, that's still 4.

The idea of a slider is prolly best, it allowed the people who want to fan experience to keep it low and the people who want to make money to bump it up to 10m. I know a few streamers that use this to fill in time when they go on breaks or have an intermission while setting up to do something else. It's not for everyone, but the right people can make it work without just stopping what they are doing to run a 10m ad for the fk of it.

The bit about KZfaq Premium pricing is misleading; the individual plan stays the same. The family plan is still less than paying for two individual plans, which makes sense.

I have 500 avg viewers and the money I get from the incentive is just not worth it. I simply can not take a bathroom break every hour and run ads for 5mins and end up with that little amount I am getting. It just doesn't work. They have to change the way they run ads for live streams so people don't miss stuff. Like overlays on stream etc...

This was the best Twitch Turbo advertisement I've ever seen. Thank you KZfaq streamer Ludwig Ahgren!

This mogul mail guy is effortlessly cool

HOW YOU GONNA JUST KILL LUD LIKE THAT MAN

Congrats on 1M subs :D. Soon you will overtake this Ludwig guy

I personally feel like the pre-roll ads on streams are the most egregious part. If I'm hopping between people trying to see who I want to watch, being bombarded with ads just makes me click off of twitch instead of sticking around. I won't mind an interruption if I know it's good content for me but struggling to even figure that out sucks

Good to see that journalism degree finally paying for itself

The thing about 4K on a 1080p monitor is that you raise the bitrate by a lot, so even if you can't display 4K pixels, you still get the benefit of a higher quality image with less compression.

For the dedicated shorts channels, KZfaq could merge them with main channels. Like they did for music artists, bringing all their music over the website into one channel

I'm amazed that the Mogul Mail guy managed to get Uncle Roger to do his ad read.

999K subscribers 1MIL here he comes. From a small creator to a giant power house we proud of you mogul mail

Congrats on 1M!

Maybe for your one millionth celebration you should bring Ludwig on the channel.

Keep it up Mogul. So glad that for the first time you can finally for the first time feel 1 million subs for the first time.

I think the three tabs on KZfaq are good, but how will it affect the sub-box? I am someone who almost exclusively uses it do you think there will be a way to not have vods or shorts for example show up in the boxes? I am subbed to all your channels so it's not a problem, but would lessen clutter for vods.

i think as long as creators have control of their ad breaks it should be fine. if they go grab a bite or go to the bathroom, or go answer the front door or something, they tell their viewers "ad break while i go do the thing" hit a button, and ads roll for however many min you're gone, hit it again when you get back, the current add that's playing plays out, and back to streaming. when doing it that way, it removes the entire invasive aspect of the ads, and most viewers were going to stay and wait out the wait for their streamer to return anyways so it should be the same with ads. yes, some creators will go many hours in between ad breaks, but ill bet when you average them taking care of themselves as a financial gain, the expected retention time and total playtime of ads will both increase, being a net gain for everyone involved. more ads played, more ads watched, more money for the streamer, more money for twitch, and the viewer gets an ad or 3 instead on a cute little brb page or an empty chair another option is noninvasive ads. they can fill the black voids on the sides of the actual player and have no sound, or take up a small corner (like 1/16 of the total player) of the player as a transparent overlay and be muted. you see something you're interested in as a viewer, you click on it, and it opens another page, leaving the audio from twitch still playing. the gains for the streamer should be lower with these, but if they don't want to take breaks with the option above, this is a decent 2nd option

he finally did it this channel now has sponsors keep it up king

Solution to stream ads: When an runs, minimize the streamer’s window to a small corner based window and have the add be the dominant w/sound. That way the viewers still have content, and they don’t click off the video. Win Twitch, Win Viewer, Win Streamer, Win Marketed Company.

I loved nick in this video! He’s so effortlessly cool!

You killed Ludwig

Honestly, I think the biggest issue with Twitch ads is that a lot of creators do not really have the ability to give preference to ad moments. 10 minutes per hour of ads isnt really that much compared to television, where you had 5 minutes of ads every 20 minutes, or in some american cases, 1 minute of ads every 5 minutes. Ads arent necessarily bad, what is bad is that on twitch, streamers basically have to open up a second screen with a different account to know when an ad is being showed. There is no warning to it, there is no way to postpone it to a moment where it is better. Lets say I am playing a game with matchmaking, during the time of the game itself, I would prefer to have 0 ads. Some games can last longer than an hour. I dont think viewers would mind having a period of 15 minutes after a 1 hour game, where its 5 minutes of ads that shows up to everyone so they(the streamer and viewers) can go pee and grab some snacks, 9 minutes of post-game chatting, then 1 minute of ads before the next game starts. Or even better, having silent ads that act more like banners. I dont mind having banner ads when watching someone. People hate ads on Twitch because it is almost always intrusive. It either interrupts gameplay(and potentially the most important minute of the entire match), interrupts the streamer mid sentence and you cant find out untill you go back, or it simply lasts long enough to the point where you missed so much of the stream that you cant really follow things and just lose interest. Give the creators more control over when and how they can run ads during their stream. I wouldnt even mind if streamers were even given the option to add an overlay so they can commentate on the ad during its duration(giving more exposure to the ad itself in general, being a bit risk/reward, but the amount of exposure is often worth the potential negativity). All in all, Twitch is trying to apply KZfaq's advertising plans to Twitch, without understanding how KZfaq got to their advertising plans in the first place. KZfaq did a lot of research in what people would mind and what not. KZfaq does have unskippable ads and easily reaches 8 full minutes of ads being shown per hour(if not more). But the big difference, if you see an ad, the video doesnt continue. If you see an ad on television, the video doesnt continue. If you see an ad on a streaming service, the video doesnt continue. Twitch videos do continue. So the advertising strategy that Twitch needs to follow is that of live events being shown on television: Planned breaks for ads, include options for banner ads(I would easily sacrifice 10% of my screen for random banner ads if it means reduced ads). Even an ad that happens 30 seconds before raiding someone or after closing the stream(because people stick around for a bit in chat anyway).

Congrats on 1 mil Mogul Mail. Very nice milestone

Someone cute complimented the color of my mint Mogul hoodie today and started a conversation so thank you for helping me out with that I'm bring this W back to the community

Mogul Mail running ads now, so proud of him. I'm sure Ludwig's jealous of him.

the live separation on the yt app is life changing

Big fan of the fact that KZfaq has given shorts their own tab, but I hate the fact that the tab for any given channel doesn't show you which shorts you've already watched the way it shows you the progress bar for longer videos.

So excited for the next marketing monday lud!!

I love Mr. Mail’s vids! Always fun and informative! 🎃

Congrats on 1 mil Mogul Mail, can't wait for you to overtake Ludwig

That sounds great! I hate fishing through the piles of shorts to find a few full length videos here or there.

Been with you since the very beginning mogul mail I'm so proud of you

Man killed it with that stream. I bet this mogul mail guy can beat that washed up streamer Ludwig at pogostuck

I see so many comments about a rewind feature that needs to be added to Twitch. What you don't understand is so many streams use or play copyrighted songs. Having a rewind feature means the server is then storing the content which is illegal by law if it contains copyrighted music streaming or even playing live. youTube covers this with DMCA because everything gets stored on servers. Twitch still doesn't have this completely worked out.

Happy 1 mil Ludwig

I swear one of the main incentives of Twitch Prime when it was first released was the fact you had ad free viewing... Then they took it away so they could add it to a different paid service 🤔

i want mogul mail to make a second channel, i really like this mail guy

What shocks everyone is that you haven't made an update video on Bayonetta despite today being launch day

Having a specific goal that you want to accomplish as quickly as possible breeds innovation. Competition is one example of this.
