On Sunday March 14, popular Twitch streamer Ludwig started a subathon on his channel with the promise to keep streaming as long as people kept subscribing. The stream has now been live for over two consecutive weeks, and while it's slowing down a little, it's still showing no sign of stopping.
Ludwig mainly games with friends on the stream, but it also features hours of the streamer sleeping in his distinctive bright red racecar bed. In the early days of the stream, Ludwig even became the most-watched streamer on Twitch while he was sleeping. While he rests, the channel's mods take over and play videos requested by viewers, turning the 24-hour stream into what is essentially a community YouTube party.
