The GSG is such a fucking scam. Anyone that paid into it should get a lobotomy.

Sure, it doesnt take into account YouTubes cut but it also doesnt take into account his other revenue streams. He's almost made half a million dollars in 4 months and he's asking plebs for $50k to fund his retardedly expensive lawyer.
That's not correct. You're looking at his revenue for the 2022 calendar year, not 2023.
If you add up his monthly super chat revenue on Playboard for the first 3 months of 2023 it ends up being around 43-44k so far in 2023.
Nick was #5 in the US in 2022, but #29 in January of this year, #10 in February (trial streams that he hates doing) and #41 in March. In March, he was below a bunch of "LawTube" creators: Emily D. Baker (#12), The Lead Attorney (#21), Lawyer You Know (#31), Legal Vices (#36). Probably because of the Paltrow civil trial that Nick didn't cover at all. He was even below Camelot331 (#29).
Now here's the interesting part. Annualize Nick's revenue so far in 2023 (by multiplying his revenue from the first quarter of 2023 by 4) and that's ~$175k, maybe $176k. Take out YouTube's cut (30%): $122 - $123k.
Cross-referencing that with the work @AltisticRight did on the Ralphaudit thread OP, Ethan Ralph took home more super chat revenue from Powerchat in 2022 ($142k assuming Powerchat 10% cut, $126k if 20%) than the shyster lawyer is on track to earn from YouTube super chats in 2023. If you extrapolate Ralph's income from the first 1.5 months of 2023 it's not strictly higher, but still in the same ballpark as Nick ($126k assuming 10% cut, $112k if 20%).
By Playboard's data and my math, Nick has spent more in legal fees so far in 2023 than he has earned in YouTube super chats, quite a bit more, actually. On he other hand, Ralph has made some shrewd financial decisions on the expenditure side, such as representing himself in legal matters he can deal with himself and living in a low cost-of-living country.
Of course, Nick has additional revenue streams in terms of Rumble super chats, Locals subscriptions, sponsorships, and direct payments from Rumble. Ralph has some additional subscription revenue from Powerchat/Rokfin/Locals but probably not that much.
