The problem with it is that I don't see what the grift is. I mean did he really plot and scheme for years to gather up a stable of old rando worn-out women that he can get lewds from? The whole turn toward degeneracy has (at best) been a wash in terms of money. I don't see any growth prospects in doing the content he is doing and appeal to the audience he wants.
If it was actually a grift with some sort of rational goals to it, it would make more sense. But I don't see any. If he wants money, there are ways for him to get more money. If it was about women or sex, there are better women and better ways to get that.
I view it very simply.
Rekieta said that his old audiences were very male. I believe he cited a number of under 10% female, which I presume is sourced from his Youtube statistics. With the Depp trial and to a lesser extent the Rittenhouse trial and the trials in the middle, his audience became vastly more female. He said something like 40% female for his Youtube now and 50% for the Locals chat. I don't know the exact numbers he stated, it was from a clip posted here last month. So in other words, the percentage of his audience who are women has gone up 4-5x.
His audience has also gotten bigger, or at least had gotten bigger, so the total pool of women has gone up by more, perhaps up to an order of magnitude. And the number of thirsty women who are prepared to post lewds for attention has gone up by a similar number.
As for the age of them, I think he's just taking what he can get. My takeaway is that the influx from the trial streams was probably older on average than his initial audience.
We'll see what happens in Vegas.
