Twitch convention, simply known as TwitchCon, is one of the biggest gatherings of online influencers and creators in the industry. Every year, Twitch Interactive organizes this convention that mainly focuses on online content creation and gaming. But even with all its shiny exterior, it has some glaring issues that result in a backlash from fans. That is why YouTuber Ludwig took the job of pointing out all the problems with the con. 

Ludwig Ahgren is an ex-Twitch streamer who currently makes content on YouTube. His phenomenal Subathon had made him a temporary king of Twitch. But when YouTube gave him an exclusive deal, he decided to jump ships and move to YouTube. But even after leaving, he still cares about his old platform, so he decided to make a video about the problems of Twitch’s biggest event.

The first problem that he pointed out was the lack of safety measures in the event. As the Con witnessed many accidents like the Lenovo Foam-pit disaster. The Lenovo Legion Booth had set up a foam pit with elevated platforms where influencers would “Face-Off”. But it went horribly wrong when many content creators faced serious injuries, including one of them who got lifelong damage to her spine. 

But the foam pit wasn’t the only injurious disaster. An influencer named Zummers also broke her ankle while competing in a “World Balloon Cup” event. She had a rough 48 hours before she got in good condition. Her ankle was broken in all 3 possible ways.

He pointed out many other issues too, like people fainting in lines during the Dream Panel, Misgendering of a Minecraft content creator named Aimsey, and many more. He even pointed out how Twitter was trending with #BoycottTwitchCon after all these severe incidents and issues. 

What were his final thoughts?

Ludwig addressed that TwitchCon is a huge event, and it takes a lot of planning to organize such a massive event. And it is impossible to be prepared for every single possibility. But Twitch is learning and growing a lot with every passing year and he hopes that they will keep a vigilant eye, so incidents like these never happen again.
