YouTube streamer Ludwig Ahgren is currently being scrutinized following the release of a new Mogul Mail video. For context, Ahgren was talking about how advertisers stopped associating with Twitch. This followed some recent controversies involving streamers making political comments. For example, he highlighted how Zack “Asmongold” was banned for his controversial remarks about the Palestinians.

The main drama cropped out after fans noticed that Ludwig had edited out a segment (from his original Mogul Mail video), where he mentions Matthew “Mizkif” blaming Hasan “HasanAbi” for the recent “apocalypse” (since Hasan has been previously accused of anti-Semitic remarks). Netizens went on to call out Ahgren for this edit, stating that he only did that to protect Hasan from possible backlash.

For context, in the original draft, Ahgren was head saying:

“Hasan is blaming Asmongold for the apocalypse and for teaming up with people who started it. Mizkif is blaming Hasan for saying that everyone who does politics should be outright banned.”

Another added:

“Lud, buddy, if you were so against mentioning Hasan, why even make this video, man? He’s literally at the center of the story, there’s zero way to talk about it in good faith without covering his involvement.”

Netizens have also criticized Ludwig on X.com. Some fans suggested that he edited out the segment where Hasan was criticized because he doesn’t want to be exiled from “that side” of the community. One fan wrote:

“Ludwig is smart, he knows if he blames Hasan he’ll be exiled from that community, since Hasan runs that side of Twitch.”

Some, however, also appreciated Ludwig for bringing up an informative topic to his audience. One user wrote:

“Sorry but that aside, the video was still a banger and very informative. He’s still based. His commentary channel is actually fire til he stopped posting.”
