"It’s paid promo": Ludwig reveals MrBeast sent him his latest video with one simple question

Ludwig Ahgren has revealed an unexpected detail about his recent interaction with MrBeast. The streamer said Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, contacted him after they had gone months without speaking. Rather than sending a casual message, MrBeast shared the link to his newest video and asked Ludwig for his thoughts. The unusual request caught attention because it appeared to be a direct appeal for honest feedback from one of the internet’s biggest creators.Ludwig reveals MrBeast asked for his thoughtsLudwig discussed the exchange during a recent Twitch stream while talking about MrBeast’s latest upload, “Eat Everything In A Grocery Store Win $1,000,000.” According to Ludwig, the two creators had not spoken for several months before MrBeast suddenly sent him the video.“I also feel like I need to disclose this. MrBeast texted me yesterday. I hadn’t spoken to him in a few months. He texted me yesterday and said, 'Watch my video.' Or no, he just texted me the video link and said, 'Thoughts on the video?'”Ludwig said he agreed to watch the upload and promised to give MrBeast his genuine reaction rather than simply praising it.“And I said, 'I’ll let you know.' So I had to give him my unadulterated thoughts afterward.”The exchange raised an obvious question among viewers: Was Ludwig being paid to promote the video?He quickly dismissed that idea. In fact, Ludwig joked that he had not received any money from MrBeast and wondered whether he should try to turn the unexpected request into a paid opportunity.“So it’s paid promo? I didn’t get money out of—should I try to get money out of it? Hold up, now we’re thinking. Maybe I try to get a little money out of it.”Ludwig also struggles with Geometry Dash challengeMrBeast was not the only topic to generate attention around Ludwig’s recent stream.

When I hold it, I go up. When I let go, I go down. How do you get it to go straight, though? How do you get it to go straight?”The clips offer a glimpse into Ludwig’s varied recent streams, from gaming challenges to unexpected conversations involving some of YouTube’s biggest creators.You use AI every day.
