Streamer Ludwig Ahgren called on Twitch to pay streamer Kai Cenat after the latter broke the platform's all-time subscriber record. Kai recently became the most-subscribed Twitch streamer with over 300,000 subs during his 30-day subathon, surpassing two streaming giants, Tyler «Ninja» Blevins and Ludwig.

Kai has made headlines many times for getting banned on Twitch for various reasons, and other controversies that he was involved in. However, he's still considered a rising star on the platform because of the rapid growth of his channel as fans would tune in to his entertaining streams. When he announced his 30-day subathon that started on February 1st, 2023, many predicted that he could become one of the most-subscribed streamers by the end of it.

Kai Cenat Shatters Twitch's Subscriber Record, Surpasses All But One in the Race to the Top

True enough, Kai managed to beat Ludwig's record of 283,066 Twitch subscribers, replacing him as the number one streamer on the platform. In a tweet, Ludwig congratulated Kai on the milestone, and also told Twitch to pay the streamer «before you lose another record breaker.» Ludwig had been vocal about Twitch reportedly not acknowledging his successes despite being the top streamer on the platform, which ultimately led him to make the switch to YouTube in 2021. Although he hadn't mentioned whether Twitch shorthanded him financially in the past, this recent tweet might shed more light on what happened while he was still a Twitch streamer.

In the replies, many of Ludwig's friends and followers praised him for calling out Twitch, with some saying that Kai should be offered an exclusive contract from the platform. One user said that Kai should be given the other 50% from Twitch's 50/50
