Kiwi's not letting me reply to your whole post - so odd when that happens.

It's a change that was made to the forum. If the post is too long you can't reply to it, you have to highlight whatever section you want to reply to and then hit the reply button that pops up.

 

[AnOminous]

Nick has not really appeared on any other shows much since the end of Murdaugh where he flipped his lid on 'jury analysis'.

The one where he said they had nothing on him? Right before he was convicted of double murder?

 

[Maude Snew]

Completely off the wall thought: Could it be possible the 'minor surgery' his wife had last year be breast implants?

I was gonna joke she got her sense of taste removed so she could stand him but there wasn't any to begin with, we've all seen her tattoos.

Awesome nerdpost @CynthiaBehave

I'm glad you came back after some initial newfag friction. I'm also happy to see the Lisa Kudrow avatar again.

I cross-posted a link to your post in the Community Watch Lawtube thread.

Legal Vices and Good Lawgic are declining - both have been complaining about losing subs. Despite huge efforts on Joe's part, he can't break 100K. They're blaming YT but are confused.

Feel bad for Joe. As I mentioned a few pages back, he's a real grinder. I have to admit that I've stopped watching his content as well, but you can't say he hasn't put the work in.

Jeff is a different animal. Him bitching over YT subs is really rich considering his meteoric rise during Depp for nothing other than showing up to Rekieta's panel.

That being said, he's also put the work in since. He's an actual maritime law working lawyer in Korea. His timezone means any guest appearances or solo livestreams he is sacrificing sleep. He picked up the ball for Rekieta a ton when Nick grew bored of his responsibilities during the Darrell Brooks trial.

He also tried some creative solo stuff like reviewing maritime disasters and rewatching old famous trials like OJ.

Flat but maintaining... ???
Includes Ian/Runkle,

Ian Runkle/Runkle of the Bailey is also a working criminal defense lawyer in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

Pre-Rekieta & Rittenhouse, he had a small but dedicated niche following where he covers Canadian gun law. He only really blew up and branched out a year ago with his courtside Depp streams.

If you watch any of Runkle's Canadian content, you see at the end of his videos that he has tons of gun-loving Canadian supporters as well as sponsorships from Canadian gun right advocacy groups.

He has a dedicated and riled up base because Trudeau does a gun grab everytime there's a high profile gang shooting or that there's a corruption scandal that he needs to distract from, which are both constant.

I forgot Sean/Potentially Criminal! He's everyone's favorite

You see Sean appear on his solo streams not-infrequently on Elissa's clips.

Sean is another working criminal defense lawyer in Ohio.

He streams every Thursday night covering legal topics to modest numbers.

He does attract a more based audience because Sean is willing to be as spicy as YT allows.

 

[Chibitzen]

The one successful exception: Andrea Burkhart has quietly built up an impressive 68K subs on only 75 (mostly pre-recorded) vids in which she almost exclusively covers the law (imagine!). I've not seen her on a panel in months.

Lovely. She can read the tea leaves it seems. I like Andrea. She has a brain.

Redpilled adjacent: Legal Vices and Good Lawgic are declining - both have been complaining about losing subs. Despite huge efforts on Joe's part, he can't break 100K. They're blaming YT but are confused.

My Take Away: The redpill stuff is tired and declining (at least in LawTube). Focusing on the law works for lawyers (brilliant analysis, I know).

There used to be a utterly massive demographic for that sort of thing and people couldn't get enough. I agree it seems to be in its decline (thank f***) and if the redpill demographic were a cow, it's truly been milked. I believe this was the introduction for many young noobs to internet gossip culture.

Political content, imo, is on the decline overall and MGTOW is/was adjacent and that demographic is separating from the nauseating hamster wheel of political propaganda. Seems that demographic has moved onto the harder stuff (Andrew Tate) when needing that outlet. I guess endless Jordan Peterson and Ben Shapiro hot takes weren't satisfying them.

If people were trying to escape the mainstream media and its garbage POV, they refound it in some of the people you listed, at least the narcissistic side of things. I imagine that turned people off once they saw what was a gravy train for some.

I love this kind of insight. Keep it up, Cynthia.

Edit:

Incredibly flattering portrayal of Nick. Face isn't ragged enough, nose isn't red enough, eyes aren't sunken enough, you're making him look positively handsome.

I'll make it up on the next one. If you need to scratch your itch now, I've made haggard Rudolph-nosed Nick in this post.

I waffled about posting this. It was amusing to make but I don't want my humor to be misunderstood as some sort of wish upon our Creator. This is not a wish. Pull up, you dipshit.

Here is an edit based on thread commentary:

 

[Swole McPole]

Andrea Burkhart has quietly built up an impressive 68K subs on only 75 (mostly pre-recorded) vids in which she almost exclusively covers the law (imagine!). I've not seen her on a panel in months.

Sadly, I don't think she's really found her stride since the Depp trial ended, but she's competent and likeable.

I'll watch Steve Lehto, Attorney Tom and Viva Frei if they pop up in my recs and they're talking about a subject I'm interested in. I'll watch Nate the one eyed Nig if he's got news about his battle with Bouzy. But Andrea is the only one out of the whole pack that I'm sufficiently interested in to subscribe to her channel.

I'm not a fan of her fish ornaments though. Too girly.

 

[JamusActimus]

Pretty late but reacting to what Nick said.

You alienated people that would help the farms

That is so fucking pathetic and self-serving. Just because you're butt-hurt and not on the farm's side anymore doesn't mean you can help it in anyway. The farms need help more substantial and technical help than just UN-banning a twitter account.

I have proof of people fucking with the cows but I will not provide them

That was so cringe. Either you give examples/sources or you shut the fuck up.
Also it's important to look at the stickers. If someone is Fed posting and gets negrated then it's not really an opinion representative of the farms

The farms went to shit this year

It's not even a bad take. With the right arguments and examples you could argue it's partially true.
However his example with Ralph is not even good or concrete and it's pretty convenient how the farms went to shit after his thread started being more critical of him.

 

[AnOminous]

That was so cringe. Either you give examples/sources or you shut the fuck up.

I could think of a number of examples of people fucking with cows, the majority of which end up with the person doing it banned. This sometimes even happens to popular users. Nick has to come up with examples of Nick though to justify why he's butthurt because he had no gripe with any of this until his own ox got gored.

And his only example is @Twitter Is Cancer who, golly gee, is banned.

 

[Balldo's Gate]

I think it's still hard to separate how much former collaborators are actively avoiding him and which ties were severed simply due to scheduling because he doesn't do day/trial streams anymore.

Nick's timeslot of 11 pm Central M-F was always a tough sell for any working professional not on the West Coast. When Rittenhouse/Depp era Nick was must-see TV, I'm sure many of his LawTube orbiters moved Heaven and Earth to stay up late and get some exposure.

1) The Redpilled Angry Bois: Declining. It's pretty bad across the board.
Nick's numbers are down across platforms (I'm ignoring Rumble subs bc their #s are fuckery), Mindset is stagnant at 93K subs so he's created the MGTOW second channel called GoEastGentlemen (2.5K subs on 160 vids?? Ooof). I don't track Branca but I doubt he's grown and I seldom see him on panels anymore.

• Redpilled adjacent: Legal Vices and Good Lawgic are declining - both have been complaining about losing subs. Despite huge efforts on Joe's part, he can't break 100K. They're blaming YT but are confused.
• Orbiters: Megan Fox recently said on Vices channel that she may quit. DaniOnDirect seems to have been scared off by Nick. She's struggling to get to 10K but recently did some quality work covering Daybell's audio only trial. She's leaning into the Law&Lumber crowd. The one successful exception: Andrea Burkhart has quietly built up an impressive 68K subs on only 75 (mostly pre-recorded) vids in which she almost exclusively covers the law (imagine!). I've not seen her on a panel in months.
  
  [...]
  
  Edit: I forgot Sean/Potentially Criminal! He's everyone's favorite acerbic teddy bear and DEF lurks here (he's said so). Anyway, I'd call him a redpill orbiter and his numbers are pretty flat. I'm told his Discord is hot and very active, however. Apparently it's full of Nick dissenters. AND I forgot Kurt. Def redpilled adjacent and is also flat to declining and whining about it.

Rekieta was only large enough to sustain an extended universe of other legal creators orbiting around him when he was regularly doing trials and gaining new viewers, who would then spread out and subscribe to his orbiters.

With Rekieta not doing trial content anymore, his night streams (Friday excepted) being lazy as possible, and his Friday streams being full of drunk degeneracy (seriously, it is hard to overstate what a trainwreck these streams are), the flow of viewers to Rekieta's channel has stopped. This has downstream effects on his collaborators, who are now giving Rekietaesque complaints a bout how the YT algorithm is keeping them down.

The question I have is whether one of these people are going to decide that becoming a dedicated Rekieta detractor is more beneficial to their channel than hoping and waiting for Rekieta to belatedly decide to pull back from the degeneracy and go back to legal content.

More than a few dedicated detractors are able to sustain streaming careers off the backs of Ralph alone. You would think that after 8 months of really weird self-destructive behavior from Rekieta, someone in the sphere would start doing actual legal content combined with mocking Nick. Keep in mind that in addition to the people who make hundreds of comments in Elissa's comment sections, there are thousands of people who watched Nick's channel but have no idea what a Kiwi Farm is, much less what a Hedonism II is. Pretty sure a lot of minds would be blown. But nobody has gone down that road yet.

Focusing on the law works for lawyers (brilliant analysis, I know).

Side Note: Most of those doing well do not have parasocial interactions with their subs whatsoever. If anything, they try to keep a strong distance. Contrast that with Nick, Mindset, Vices and Joe who are obsessed with their own following.

Basically, Rekieta is to LawTube what DSP is to video game streaming. The entire reason DSP is a streamer still is because he happened to be one of the first people who had the idea to do it, and he was able to establish a platform in the absence of any competition at all. He's long since been eclipsed by people who improved on his product in every way.

Rekieta's trial streams proved that there was a lot of money out there for "lawyer live reaction to trial" streams and people started moving into the space.

Meanwhile Rekieta is now blaming the YT algorithm for his subscriber losses. I'm pretty sure DSP still whines about how changes to the YT algorithm they made well over a decade ago hurt him.

@Balldo's Gate I'm not sure how far back @Himedall All-seeing Waifu 's archives go but consider looking up when he "lost 6 hours" after supposedly being ruffied. IIRC it's when he was on the final episode of You Are Here with Elijah and Sydney Watson. Google's not being helpful but maybe May 2022.

Afterward he said he'd never travel again for business without LR.

When Nick and I were sparring in late 2022/early 2023 he totally overreacted when I called him on that shit.

In short, my take: He may have been ruffied. Or not. He may have gotten his rocks off with someone in the bathroom in the missing 6 hours. Or not. He may have simply been creating a cover story if something went public. Atp, I'm betting on the last. I never bought his story.

I was following more what Ethan Ralph was up to in Dallas on that weekend, so I can't really say.

In terms of pieces of information about Rekieta's Dallas trips which I do know: at 51:00 of the embedded video at the bottom Rekieta talks about going out for drinks the first time he went out to see Elijah in Dallas and "that night got weird", but it looks like Rekieta was on their podcast in February and April (the latter being the final one with both hosts and the one that Ralph was supposed to be on), so if Rekieta is supposed to have been drugged on the April trip that wouldn't be relevant to this discussion. It's been claimed on the relevant thread(s) that Brittany Venti met with Rekieta at some point for drinks or something on one of these trips, but not sure which one, and I'm not sure of what the originating source is.

I am aware that the Dallas drugging was a piece of lore but can't find what Rekieta actually says about what specifically happened and when in terms of being drugged being discussed in the thread. Rekieta did not use the live chat function of Rumble much before October (though he did live streams) so that probably won't be any help.

 

[Himedall All-seeing Waifu]

Moving on in the archive backlog...

Should people be un-banned?

Spoiler: Should Hydro and Cynthia be allowed back?

aCompleteRandom​	Yeah, but I mean, now that we can block, I'd be 100% against banning such a person. He wasn't trying to attack Nick's business, and users can determine for themselves to block. Sucks that locals took so long to implement the block on chat.
Mad_Amos​	Yes, it should have been a day one feature
sophia1320​	Intro bit was funny but he actually wasn’t joking which makes it a bit less funny to me lol
aCompleteRandom​	Like, even hydro and cynthia, I'd say "Now that we have block, can they be unbanned?" The only issue there is, both made threats against Nick's business. The lifting of their bans, or maintaining of them, has little and less to do with us, at this point.

CGoody564​	No
CGoody564​	1) blocking doesn't work, and 2) they weren't just harming individuals, they were harming the community in general (at least the latter)

CGoody564​

But they crossed the line going after Nick's family AND his business. There's no coming back from that

aCompleteRandom​	Yes, I agree, which is why I haven't made the request. Anything involving Cynthia/Hydro is not ours to ask. 100% same page, brother.
aCompleteRandom​	Blocking works. Block their profile, their posts do not show up in chat anymore. For browser. It's not yet implemented on app. If you want the feature to work, switch to browser on phone. It may not work for you personally at all though, since you're a community admin.
aCompleteRandom​	No idea how locals admin shit differs from user controls. I'd assume they're separate, so you should be able to personally block people, but you'd have to test that yourself. Or ask nick.

Eric July and Danny are going to save comics!

Lordofthereee​

robertford9999​	did that happen when you first day you started locals?

 

[AnOminous]

Meanwhile Rekieta is now blaming the YT algorithm for his subscriber losses. I'm pretty sure DSP still whines about how changes to the YT algorithm they made well over a decade ago hurt him.

Well, he's right, other than the fact that the algorithm is working exactly as advertised in this case. People liked legal content so if it was screwing him then, that was fucked, but nobody is interested in some dime-a-dozen boomer coomer degenerate. You can get that anywhere. So it's working just fine if it isn't recommending Balldo Man to people who want legal content.

 

[Car Won't Crank]

AND I forgot Kurt. Def redpilled adjacent and is also flat to declining and whining about it.

I still passively keep tabs on Eeyore Kurt and it seems like he doing less whining and more cranking out the law videos. He's still doing his dry but informative videos on interesting cases but also includes those random videos and livestreams. Most recently, he livestreamed a video of some Eeyore birthday, which looked to be some gay party in Austin and certainly most odd. He also does those cooking and gaming streams, which are quite disparate to the more serious law topics. Overall he appears to be doing his own thing and mixing vlog with serious legal videos without much redpill. He also posts his workout routines to let everyone know he's trying to get less fat.

 

[Himedall All-seeing Waifu]

Political content, imo, is on the decline overall and MGTOW is/was adjacent and that demographic is separating from the nauseating hamster wheel of political propaganda.

The political content will revive near the end of the year when the Great American Popularity Contest starts.

I predict that unless something changes, all will stagnate unless they latch on to something new.

 

[Ralph Barnhardt]

Yeah, I caught a bunch of it (though it's nearly 7 fucking hours long so I still have quite a few hours left).

It's more than a bit of a shitshow, it's a massive one. If this one was anything like the rest of the Friday streams, we here on the thread have been sleeping on them in a major way. It's to the point where it's actually kind of entertaining, in the way that a Ralph pillstream is entertaining - it's a total trainwreck but I can't imagine an actual fan of Rekieta watching this and still being able to respect him as a legal commentator or whatever.

I must have tapped out before the redhead's husband joined the stream but I'm guessing he came out to take care of her since she was extremely drunk and appeared to be passing out on stream by the time I stopped watching. This woman has like 400 followers on YT btw.

To get a feel of what was going on last night, here's a sample clip from Camelot. Note that this occurred 46 minutes into a stream that went on for another 6 hours.

In Camelot's defense, he didn't say that the video clip he "anonymously uploaded" had any thumb action in it, so I guess he didn't go the full Ralph.

Nick's Friday shows are the only ones that I do a hard pass on. The drunken and aimless ramblings of 40 year olds larping as annoying teenagers is so abrasive. Ooh! What man-whore do we get to listen to tonight? Though what do I know? People flock in to watch it so he must be doing something right.

 

[Balldo's Gate]

This just makes the story even weirder. Weird things happen in strip clubs, but this forty-something year old man took his wife to a Vanilla Ice concert? (That doesn't actually appear to be a concert -- more of a PA where he's just lip syncing and tossing off the occasional line to some backing tapes.)

If he was 18, I could comprehend it. He'd have terrible taste in music, but it would be comprehensible. But at Nick's age?

Then while he's there, somebody approaches to hit on his wife? What is this? The local Grab-a-Granny night? That club looked like it was full of hot young teenagers who would be only too happy to hook up with a rich older guy. Why would you be trying to bang Lady R? Visually impaired, perhaps?

I actually disagree. I think that the story has some truth to it, if only because the criterion of embarrassment would seem to indicate that Rekieta would not make up a story that ultimately revolves around someone walking up to him and mocking his outfit.

I'll lay my cards on the table. What made me glom onto this is how on the previous Friday night stream he had a rage session at speculation about why he wanted to do the Vegas meetup, even though that was about 3 months and 300 pages ago. And with Rekieta implying there was some sort of private story that he could only tell Dick off air, I was interested in the possibility that the mystery second woman might possibly be a fan (or, alternatively, another streamer).

I did do some research in the Locals chat and couldn't find any proof of that being the case. It appears that there was possibly an organized fan meetup for the Tuesday, after the MGK appearance (and yeah, I would not go as far as to use the term "concert"). Obviously that doesn't preclude the possibility of an earlier private meetup with an individual fan, but I was unable to chase down any evidence which would support that assertion, so I'm not going to into FanFic Farms territory to say that was probably what happened without any proof. I'm just saying the possibility of it was just interesting enough to me to do some digging, though I ended up empty-handed.

I guess veracity of the story, as well as who the second woman was if the story is real, will remain a mystery for the time being.

Nick's Friday shows are the only ones that I do a hard pass on. The drunken and aimless ramblings of 40 year olds larping as annoying teenagers is so abrasive. Ooh! What man-whore do we get to listen to tonight? Though what do I know? People flock in to watch it so he must be doing something right.

Yeah, I'm the opposite. I couldn't imagine sitting through his going through the motions Tim Pool knockoff "here's me reading a headline that's several days old" streams. The Friday night streams are such catastrophic trainwrecks that it turns into actual entertainment.

 

[Cynthia Behave]

I'm also happy to see the Lisa Kudrow avatar again.

Funny you should mention that - Josh asked me about the Sally one and then it was gone. It's fine. It was only temporarily. (One could engage in a conspiracy theory that Nick told Josh that I was "fucking with his community" and pointed to my pfp but it's not really worthy of speculation. Arguably it was NSFW regardless.)

I cross-posted a link to your post in the Community Watch Lawtube thread.

Oh thanks! I'll check it out. Nick is so tiresome lately... I'd rather laugh/discuss the other ones atp.

Feel bad for Joe. As I mentioned a few pages back, he's a real grinder. I have to admit that I've stopped watching his content as well, but you can't say he hasn't put the work in.

Me too. Wish he'd stuck to his rather unique space of discussing morality, philosophy, and religion. If I wanna watch a Trumper (Joe ranked him as the second best president in American history.....???!!!), there are far better commentators.

Ian Runkle/Runkle of the Bailey is also a working criminal defense lawyer

Yeah, it's an important distinction bc it reflects on the focus they can dedicate to their shows.

Spoiler: Practicing Lawyers

The working lawyers:

• Family Law: TheLeadAttorney, DaniOnDirect, Rob/Law&Lumber,
• Criminal Defense: Sean/Potentially Criminal, Ian/RunkleoftheBailey, NatalieLawyerChick (I think? She may do family law), DUI Guy, Andrea Burkhart
• Ambulance Chaser: Peter/TheLawyerYouKnow - I think his firm is mostly insurance/slip&falls.
• Nautical something: Jeff/Legal Vices
• Tech something: Rick/HoegLaw

Some law work:

• Barnes always seems to have his fingers in important/precedent setting cases on the First Amendment or states rights stuff (with a stint defending Alex Jones)
• Joe claims to still have two clients (financial/contractl law)
• Nate takes pro-bono cases. His wife's a professor (maybe in law?) I keep meaning to google to find out what cases he's taken.

I don't know what TF Mindset does beyond party around Asia, get Nazi haircuts, avoid paying taxes, and ride on being an associate dealing with Disney many moons ago.
The rest are 100% YT/Rumble etc.

There used to be a utterly massive demographic for that sort of thing and people couldn't get enough.

I always wonder if that crowd will just burn themselves out. It's always the same 4-5 talking points: Seems like it would get old. Probably wishful thinking on my part.

The question I have is whether one of these people are going to decide that becoming a dedicated Rekieta detractor is more beneficial to their channel than hoping and waiting for Rekieta to belatedly decide to pull back from the degeneracy and go back to legal content.

It's a great question. Speaks to low key corruption. No one wants Nick's wrath however diminished he is atp.

Edit: Clarity

 

[Swole McPole]

I actually disagree. I think that the story has some truth to it, if only because the criterion of embarrassment would seem to indicate that Rekieta would not make up a story that ultimately revolves around someone walking up to him and mocking his outfit.

Sure, I wasn't doubting the story -- simply saying that it's peculiar. I think that the story of a couple in their forties going to a Machine Gun Kelly personal appearance is really fucking odd, but I have no doubt that it's exactly what someone like Rekieta -- who lived a celibate, drug free life in his teens and his twenties would do in his forties.

He's clearly attempting to make up for all those things that he missed out on while he was toeing the line to his wealthy Christian parents.

It's definitely embarrassing though. I don't think it's something I'd admit to doing myself. I'd be happier confessing to a trip to Hedonism II than I would a Machine Gun Kelly gig in a Miami nightclub full of the shallowest, stupidest people who walk the earth.

This aCompleteRandom guy (whom I believe was the Locals user archiving the daily lewds and presenting it the next day to Nick as a newsletter) seems inconsistent.

I was mocking him a few pages back because he was humblebragging about his paypigness re: paying Nick 20$/month as a YT member while repeatedly stating that he wasn't mad about the 5k gift reneg and no one else should be either.

Now he has the somewhat based take of forgiving and welcoming back Nick's alogs to Locals, but he can't help but parroting both Nick's talking points re: the Locals block feature delay killing chat & immediately caves and adopts CGoody's take when met with any resistance.

no, no... i mean so many less ppl than there used to be. its been going on for a while. i thought it would recover at some point.

Sally78​

I agree. Nick never comes to say hi anymore . Plus warm whether

It's obvious that another factor in the collapse of Nick's Locals is his and and our wife's quick boredom and retreat from it.

If Xino's cool kids clique Discord is also abandoned, is Nick no longer interacting parasocially with his winemoms anymore outside of direct text?

There's some irony in that Nick was initially criticized here last fall for hanging out terminally online in his hugbox at the expense of making content or being a father.

And now it's become a mystery again what he does all day besides the occasional seething Mustang stream.

Funny you should mention that - Josh asked me about the Sally one and then it was gone. It's fine. It was only temporarily.

I must have missed that era.

There was a week or so when I wasn't around because I didn't know Tor was back and I was in the dark because I refuse to use Telegram for updates.

According to Nick, his 20's might not have been so celibate.

Early on when he was leaning into the Rrad Dad image, he used to tout that he and his wife were virgins when they married (in the context of 'I dont know what the modern dating scene is like). That morphed unto, 'we were each other's first', then he started sharing the story of LR laying him on his 21st birthday (in contrapoint to Branca's take that he sees his wife like she is still 25 and Nick thinks his wife is hotter now than when she was 20).

Yet more lies that were uncovered when people cared to look...
