The man made 32k in a week but he is failing due to one channel focused specifically on celebrity and gossip law stuff out doing him and another channel which every other lawyer in this circle is on every day...
I'm not sure what's going on right now....
If you're not growing, you're shrinking. Someone eclipsing him in his line of work is a concern because he's already abnormally high for his bracket, and it's easier to course-correct while falling than after you've crashed. You can keep dismissing it with things like 'they're a celeb gossip lawyer channel' but right now what they're covering is what everyone including Nick is covering. Despite the oversaturation they're doing better than Nick, who has more than just the Depp case to pull eyes and dollars with.
Responding to superchats immediately will fuck up the flow of the show. Maybe doing square up streams with lady rackets would help. The incel simps would probably cumb.
The chat autists are too stupid to be trusted. Nick is a wrong thinker with a bullseye on his back. Not worth risking his income stream because some retard says something stupid or some saboteur(s) in the chat posting provocative content to get his channel nuked.
We don't really know he is falling behind other Lawtubers. This type of trial isn't really Nick's thing and from the onset he has been urging the other Lawtubers to be on LegalBytes. Even if he is falling behind in the daytime coverage does it really matter?
If it ain't broke don't fix it. Sure Nick could use a bit more organization on his show but its his show to run how he wants.
I think something like a $50 tier would work for that. Originally he did $20 for that purpose, but it turns out people are more than willing to drop a $20 to say nothing important. $50 interrupting the flow is going to be much less of an issue...and if it is still an issue he's making out like a bandit. However, I do think another good option would just be to have superchat answering streams, with or without Lady Rackets. People
really want their superchat read and responded to in a timely manner so that they feel like they're interacting with the youtuber. This wait-and-dump thing is just not working and cannot ever work. Nobody wants to make a le epic cool quip about Amber's face or whatever at 11AM and then have to stick around until 11PM before Nick finally reads and responds to it completely out of context in a large group of other chats.
I will accept not having chat on screen, even though he could just use his large number of mods to police chat, but he really has no excuse for not having superchats on screen during stream. Nick is by far not the person with the most toxic fanbase. There are people who cannot use the TTS function because doing so will just fill up the air with noises or immediately get them banned for using bad words, but they still have superchats
on screen. At a minimum he needs to let his dumb chatters
see the superchats they're submitting so that if nothing else they get immediate gratification from the chat. His income will only steadily decrease if he doesn't make at least that much effort.
But even if the other channels have only briefly eclipsed him, the numbers look like Nick's
personal record is slipping. As I've said before, he's able to do what he does because he makes money extremely far in excess of the actual subscribers and views he gets, and the reason he does so is because of the rare interactivity of his superchat system. While Twitch is infamously different, most YTers in general ignore or barely pay attention to their superchats. Nick's issue is double-jointed because on the one hand he's going to see disinterest in his superchats grow as he continues to handle them poorly, and on the other hand if other lawyers are going to cover mostly the same subjects as him and do the superchat grift better, he'll lose out to those people more and more as the people who aren't loyal to Nick and just want attention move away from him to those. I know that
sounds like a good thing because most of the attention whores are annoying, but...you know. Money. Those $100 whiskey bottles and $300 40k novels aren't paying for themselves.
