Ludwig Responds To Criticism

Ludwig Ahgren, a YouTube streamer, has replied to fan criticism for utilizing the Johnny Depp vs. Amber Heard court case for “content.”

Both Johnny Depp and Amber Heard have spent the last six weeks in court with their separate legal teams, with Depp seeking $50 million in damages for defamation and Heard accusing him of abuse. Amber countersued Johnny actor for $100 million in retaliation. The lengthy legal battle became viral on social media, and on June 1st, Johnny was given $15 million in damages, with Amber Heard earning $2 million in compensatory damages. Fans, on the other hand, have criticized YouTube streamer Ludwig ‘Ludwig’ Ahgren for constantly watching and “using” the court trial for “content.”

Ludwig explained how he received a note from a fan who was concerned about the manner he exploited the trial for content in a YouTube video on his second channel, Mogul Mail, on June 2.

The message reads; “I’m a 28-year-old woman who recently started watching you last year and I just want to say how let down I feel watching you and other content creators make a spectacle out of this trial.”

Ludwig admitted; “I can’t argue with the last fact, I did use this case for content,” before sharing viewer statistics from his response stream to the trial’s ultimate result. Since joining YouTube in December, the streamer has had 85,000 views on his most popular stream.

His reaction to the ruling, on the other hand, drew almost 87,000 concurrent views, making it his most watched YouTube stream to date. 

He said; “This is sad to look at for me. This is embarrassing because I’ve put passion and work into projects like Mogul Money, the Poker event, and whatever else. And they were dwarfed by me being a vehicle in which people would consume a court case they would’ve watched anyway. I was a vehicle, I did not stream this and add viewers to it, I really feel like I streamed it and absorbed where people would’ve normally watched it. Maybe this is a little cocky, but out of all the vehicles you could’ve watched it in, this car wasn’t too bad. I feel like I did try to weed out the f**king weirdos who were so pro Johnny Depp that they wouldn’t even listen to the court case. Maybe it was wrong for me to cover it at all, and selfishly I did grow from this and maybe that is a bad thing,”

Furthermore, he said that he didn’t cover every day of the trial and was merely aiming to serve as a source of knowledge on defamation litigation, as he had previously studied the subject in college.
