I want Odysee to succeed but it keeps fucking up and has trouble with larger streams like Nick's. I remember he tried it back in the day and it insta died with his audience back then which was much smaller. As for Rumble I'm surprised he hasn't tried that one more as it actually has some main stream adoption as even Reddit mentions them and that's as normie as they get. Rumble also has decent infrastructure, but maybe it's done some shit I haven't heard about.
Then again, Tim Pool made a bunch of money off of his shitty site so it does show private websites aren't dead if you can use platforms like youtube to push people towards them. In fact, if you have a big following on social media, then a private site is a great idea as driving traffic is the hardest part of any business.
That made it worse!

I just assumed it was fake outrage designed to get Joe more sheckles. He is a Jew after all.

Getting stepped on 4 free seems like a good deal, but eventually, you'll be paying for premium experience like this guy.

The timing of this is interesting. Right when he's due to be self promoting at a con as a big time YouTuber- poof! Account is suspended. And at least through the length of Matsuri.
It could be a well timed attack against him by his alawgs. The extra few days could be because of the weekend or I dunno, maybe the person who was supposed to flip his account back on at YouTube identifies as as a cat, and they've been stuck outside with no one to let them in.
Or maybe someone at YouTube didn't want this tub of lard to have active streams on their platform, representing their brand (in a way), at a con full of weebs.
Third option is he gets all the strikes now and bye bye YouTube account. They just haven't notified him of that yet.
I know Nick is proud of his parasocial status wrt super chats, but that money is around five or six orders of magnitude from affecting Alphabet's bottom line. They could nuke his account right now and it would mean nothing to them.
I'm sure Ty would love a go at Alphabet/Google/YouTube (and I think the LLC was set up in Texas by Ty), but their rules are so shit, that I don't see team Rackets winning a case or even settling. The precedent it would set would upend YouTube's bullshit, and they couldn't have that.
Edit: Legal Mindset is talking about the Rackets sitrep on his stream, about 5-6 minutes into the stream.
Edit 2:
More Rackets bits from the LM stream:
- Rackets ban for graphic throat cut on the stream with ... whoever it was. It's a bit bs, because YT changed their policy to allow more violent videos during the St. George Floyd incident. It's bullshit because of how uneven/selective the policy is enforced.
- LM and Rackets went the rave Saturday night and then hit the bars. They were almost as hungover as Anna was last year during the panel she was on with Rackets.
- LM goes on a spiel about money and Rackets making YT money. Dude, it's a drop it them, even if it's a good living for Nick.
- People on panels would joke about Nick's account, and he would sit there and be really pissed off. "Pretty fucking pissed."
- The Nick being stepped on thing, in some other angles. Beta.
- LM - Rackets needs backup stream channels. Not sure if LM knows about Racket's yeet'd archive and stream channels, or if he means he should multicast. Later clarifies, multicasting is fine, would jump, but realistically eyeballs are on YT. Agrees people should be multicasting, using Locals, etc. But realistically, posting to YT then can cascade to Odysee, Rumble (not sure if that is YT or SY).
- Nick got an official award from Lawtube for his hard work:
Lawtuber Top Ten Rekieta Commission Rekieta Law 2022. It came with a fine bottle of Five Husbands Pride vodka:
- LM tries to get a Twitter uprising to support Nick by @'ing YT. Countdown to twitter bans starts.

Say what you want about Nick but I don't want him gone from Youtube because he's one of the few content creators left on that shitty platform that are actually entertaining now. I think people tend to forget that Youtube has not been so kind to the whole concept of edgy content ever since Donald Trump got elected back in 2016 and a lot of the Big Tech companies felt "morally obligated" to combat "hurtful content" in the process.
If you remember how Big Tech on the Internet used to be at the time, they were far more free and open compared to now; Youtube back then was where almost anything goes. Things like conspiracy theory videos that were made by Alex Jones and other similar content creators back then, content creators that would do outrageous things like TVFilthyFrank, and edgy right-wing shit like those old Moonman songs that used to thrive so much on Youtube back then and these days not anymore.
May I remind everyone here that this is the same platform that nuked LeafyIsHere and when he got the hammer that should already tell everyone that Youtube doesn't want this kind of content anymore. You just can no longer make fun of idiots on the Big Tech platforms in full detail anymore (such as Randy Stair or Eliot Rodger) because platforms like Youtube doesn't see that as ad friendly (this is why content creators like Mumkey Jones got the hammer and Mister Metokur was forced to stop making videos in his style). You can no longer built yourself on being an edgy content creator in general like Smosh in the old days or singing a ton of edgy shit like what Joji used to do in his TVFilthyFrank years. And finally you can no longer post any edgy /pol/-tier shit unless you want to get nuked off Youtube a week later. The list goes on.
The Youtube that everyone knew back then simply no longer exists anymore, those days are over and any ultra edgy content creators that are still on Youtube either haven't been caught by Youtube's moderation team yet or they try to play it safe by only playing by the rules as much as possible while also seeing how far they can push it.
Now if Nick Rekita does get full control of his Youtube channel soon then good for him but at this point this should be a sign that Big Tech isn't going to end their stupid censorship crusade soon and people should use the alternatives more when it is possible to do so. Big Tech is no longer kind to people like us anymore and at this point we should just accept that Big Tech just wants ad friendly normie shit on their platforms and we should just move on from them because Big Tech doesn't want to sell you a Toyota or an Xbox on a video that highlight's Chris-Chan's most insane antics anyway.

I don't know how to read this. It's not his normal 'social media genius' sarcasm replay. Did he honestly not bother to contact his youtube person? The guys point is valid and being ghosted by your youtube contact is a bad sign.

I think it's sarcasm. He said earlier he already has or maybe was holding it for their weekly meeting?

Nice Joe rant, makes it as much about himself as Rackets.
The problem Rackets, Joe, Legal Mindset, etc. all have is they aren't YouTube's customers- for that matter, neither are the viewers. The advertisers are YouTube's customers. Advertisers don't like risqué content. At some point, it is inevitable this content will be gone from YouTube.
This is one area where Rumble differs, as a (decent?) chunk of their revenue comes from licensing video content to 3rd parties.

If they were smart they'd get tailored advertisers for the weirder and edgier shit.... even at a lower rate it beats kicking them off.

I mean, people have been saying pretty much this about Nick's streams for quite a while now. Hell I started following the thread because after one particular drunk stream, where he went into too much detail about his sexual preferences and proclivities, a suspension or ban seemed inevitable.
What really pisses me off about this is a sinking suspicion I have that part of why Nick is dealing with this bullshit is that his channel isn't one of the "official" or "verified" news channels that Youtube promotes but his content is more popular than theirs. The shitheads at Youtube are probably taking money from that law news channel (I forget the name) and those boring idiots were probably bitching behind the scenes because Nick kept clowning on them and more people were watching him and his buddies make fun of the Heard/Depp trial than wanted to sit through their boring ass content.
The people who tune it to watch Nick are Youtube's customers and they're voting for Nick's content with their wallets whenever they send a super chat or join his channel. If Youtube keeps yeeting content creators because a random "they" found something about their videos offensive they're eventually going to run out of both creators and viewers.
The thing is all of these parties are customers but Youtube wants to pretend that's not the case.

I'd disagree with that, although maybe an argument could be made for people who pay for youtube premium or red or whatever it's called.
The viewers of youtube are the product they sell to advertisers (or if you prefer, the viewer's demographic profile). The videos on youtube are content/product they sell advertisers on. Advertisers don't want to sell soap detergent, political campaigns or, in the US, pharmaceuticals, on "Unbreaded" videos.

I totally get where you're coming from. How does that saying go? If the service is free that means you're the product?
I don't disagree with that idea completely but the problem is the Youtube environment is a little more complex than that. As you pointed out there are people who pay for the Youtube premium service. I'd also add that since they take a cut of super chats and channel memberships that anyone who engages with Nick using those services is also a customer, they're spending money on content delivered through Youtube and Youtube gets some of that money.
Part of me understands why advertisers don't want to slap their name on unbreaded and Nick's drunken antics. The problem is that Youtube has to play a delicate balancing act by giving people like Nick a way to share their content while not alienating their advertisers, but if they boot too many people like Nick they're eventually not going to have anyone to advertise to.
One thing that I've heard over and over from Youtube creators is that it's damn near impossible for them to get any help from Youtube. They need to stop using the automated content moderation system or, if they're going to use it, be responsive to the issues people have. You shouldn't have to @ the Youtube team on Twitter to try and get your monetization fixed, that shit is fucking dumb.

Seems the word is spreading to adjacent groups. Either Nick's moping caught some eyes or he is finally asking for some support.

lol the blue haired whale who suspended him definitely waited till after matsuri to undo it. Get fucked Nick, maybe now you'll start to build elsewhere.
