Ludwig Ahgren is officially stepping away from streaming not due to burnout or controversy, but because his fans have roasted his freshly bald head into submission.
For those out of the loop, Ludwig shaved his head on February 24, 2025, after losing a gaming bet with his chat. What followed was an absolute meme explosion. By February 26, the relentless roasting became too much, leading Ludwig to wave the white flag on Twitter and announce a temporary hiatus.
"I tried keeping TTS on for my first bald stream. This is hell. Going on a hiatus until my hair grows back ✌️."
And just like that, Ludwig has officially entered his "Hair Regeneration Arc."

If there’s one thing the internet excels at, it’s turning minor events into meme-worthy sagas and Ludwig’s bald reveal was no exception. Since unveiling his new look, fans have flooded social media with endless comparisons. Whether it’s Mr. Clean, Saitama from One Punch Man, or a poorly peeled egg, no joke is off-limits.

One fan even suggested he switch to his VTuber model to spare the audience from his gleaming scalp:
"U literally paid for a VTuber model setup 💀 use it."
Another took things further, commenting:
"Shave your eyebrows too and go full Voldemort."
Even fellow streamer Pokimane couldn’t resist joining the chaos, admitting she was "pissed off" about Ludwig’s head shape.

The fallout from Ludwig’s bald bet hasn’t just been social it’s also hit his bottom line. In a recent YouTube Shorts video titled Bald, Ludwig revealed that he’s hemorrhaging subscribers.
"I'm losing thousands of subscribers. Hello! It is me, Ludwig. You might have seen me in videos before. I'm bald now. I lost a bet, I'm bald now. I didn't think it'd be that big of a deal for a man to go bald, it happens often. But for me, it is ruining my YouTube channel."
Even his most loyal fans are turning on him. One long-time supporter, who had been inviting Ludwig to their college graduation, withdrew the invitation after his bald debut:
"Please don't reply or come to my graduation with that peanut-shaped head. For future inquiries, please message me with a full set of your natural hair."
Can Ludwig Survive the Bald Era?
Despite the endless trolling, some fans are showing support:
"Tbh it's not really a big deal about him being bald, I think he looks good and the streams have been really fun. Own it, Lud, don't worry too much about it."

But let’s be real until Ludwig’s hair grows back, the internet won’t stop clowning him. Will Ludwig make it through his bald era? Can his subscriber count bounce back? And most importantly—will he ever make another hair-related bet again? Only time (and his hair follicles) will tell.
