The real issue is revenue source (as someone else mentioned) when he loses the contract, where does he make it up? The Karen squad seem mostly tapped at 5 USD per month.
Also consider that he has lost (or will lose) most of the 5k paying subs. He used to have 600+ in the LOCALS chat, and he only peaks at 300 when he is LIVE. Normally it hovers between 50-75.
I'll send you my spreadsheet.
Yeah, he's only gotten to 550 (on 2/22 - Vegas) on Locals in the past 4 weeks. That act might be a Locals glitch bc it's such an anomaly...
BUT people WERE hungry to hear from him and, notably, he didn't go to 'subscribers only'. It's probably a real number.
Anyway, it hovers around 55 people during downtimes, sometimes as low as 13, and most of his most engaging members are rarely there (as much). Poor Cookie is there talking to herself half the time. That's a HUGE decline from, say, 4-5 months ago.
The question is: Will his cult unsubscribe? A lot of them don't have a lot of money and have found their people on Discord, etc. Maybe? I dunno.
Finally, you and I will disagree: I don't think his contract is in jeopardy. Rumble/Locals is focused on other things.
Edit: Clarified his Vegas Locals stream.
Possible that Nick hates work more than he likes money, and that he would rather make mistakes than take free advice. Both cases make him out to be a lazy, petty, spiteful person.
Yep.
So, Nick has low-level contempt for his following. He KNOWS that they're largely losers, incels, and/or lost humans. He's said that to people privately. Hell, he's said it publicly.
With a contract, I believe he just thinks he can grift on the normie fanbase who will watch out of habit + the cultists who will subscribe to him. No homework necessary.
He might be correct.
