I would bet that they brought him on because of the daytime trial streams, hoping to bring in an influx of live viewers to jumpstart their new platform. You know, those things he used to do before he got the Rumble deal money, realized how much he hated sitting there just raking in cash, and then promptly blew off doing again.It would appear, from this press release, that Rumble specifically picked up Rekieta because he was a legal streamer.
For both Rittenhouse and Depp, he had tens of thousands of live viewers at any given point, and over a hundred thousand live viewers at the peaks of excitement. People who had never watched a night stream linked me videos of his from both trials. Rumble probably wanted him to have the same effect over there. It's not in the same league, but he completely skipped the apparently hilarious Paltrow trial, streams for which Emily D. Baker pulled in roughly 1/6 her typical average-day Depp total views. He's not even around to cover news that would be interesting to conservatives, literally sleeping through both the Trump indictment and the Fox News settlement on the days those stories broke.
For someone who says he streams every night at the same time, he still can't keep a regular schedule, and still barely lets his audience know in advance when he won't be around. He doesn't move over to Rumble exclusively until he gets through all the YouTube stuff. Even his regular content had largely shifted away from law to coomer bullshit (although some of these recent video titles imply he's going through documents again now; I don't know, I don't watch anymore).
What is Rumble even getting out of this?
