And, indeed, it might have worked that way if this was a year ago. A lolsuit was what got Rekeita started, and it was what the old audience wanted most of all. It would have been fun. But the last six months of drug, alcohol, and testicle abuse have chased away the old core audience that would have enjoyed (and thrown money at him for) this kind of retarded legal drama.
Instead, now no one's having fun except we humble Farmers. Nick looks consistently strung out as he joylessly balances substance abuse and fumbling the case. He (belatedly) hires a massively overpriced celeb lawyer for what should be a simple matter. He puts even less effort than usual on the streams (if that is possible), and misses a weeks worth of streams when he goes off to poorly organized roastie meetup events in Vegas. His remaining locals faithful, a collection of aging women, dysgenic autists, and the legitimately mentally ill, are uninterested in legal matters, and just want their law-pope internet daddy to validate them. There is no mirth from the audience, but neurotic whining, indifference, and boredom. Worst of all, the superchats remain a small fraction of what they could have been.
