I literally laughed out loud when he mentioned renegotiating the Rumble contract. The delusion is impressive.
I'm really looking forward to when the locals renewals one year on from the YouTube ban come due.
Yeah it's genuinely impressive that his delusion is still strong enough that he thinks Rumble is going to not only renew their contract with him, but that he somehow has leverage to get better terms.
He's whining about turning off the YT stream even though I'm pretty sure at first it was announced that it was going to be done after the first hour of the stream and now he's sometimes gone nearly three hours before turning it off.
What's great about that is that I recall some months ago when he got called out on that he said something about how Rumble don't actually care about being exactly on the dot of the switchover (even though, you know, you would think they would want the switchover to occur near peak viewership and not when the stream is trailing off anyway). Now he's whining about Rumble not doing something they were supposed to. That's the double standard many people have called out again.
If I was Rumble I would do the bare minimum of engagement with this idiot and then try to let him down easy at the end. All they need to say is that it's great working with Nick, but they're going in a different direction with the creator budget and as a consequence of that don't have the funds to spare to renew you at this time. Hope you stay on the platform though!
Realistically this guy has 0 filter at this point and will get drunk and say something that will get him permabanned from YT and stuck on Rumble without them having to pay a dime.
Anyone keeping track on the amount of money Nick has made (edit: on rumble) in the past 5 months?
If we do, should we count only 30% of the total as the money Rumble has made back with Nick?
In terms of the super chats,
@Potatoherder was tracking those every now and then.
If I recall correctly, those data indicate that he's probably making $100-400 on Rumble on a typical night (assuming it hasn't changed - I don't recall any data dumps in a while). Meanwhile archived data from Playboard suggest he was making $1500-$2000 on a typical night on YT before his ban.
He's still pulling in some from YT as well but the total take across both platforms has to be down a lot.
I think a big part of why Nick was brought on is they wanted people to open their wallets on Rumble instead of YT, but it didn't happen to that big an extent. It doesn't help that Nick reads out all the YT super chats before going on Rumble exclusively - it just means there's another incentive to send money through YT to get your chat read earlier.
Strange sidenote, if you flip the older woman "charity" photo posted by Canam productions & superimpose it with the hair in face Mandy photo, it's a near exact match on the facial features. Even stranger, the older woman photo now bears the name of "Helaine Baruch", a person who appears to be an actual woman associated with the charity & living in New York City. Yet, to find this photo, Google "Mandy Karevicius" & it comes up. And as Canam found, it did just recently show Mandy's name, not Helaine.

Yeah so in other words it's probably not the right picture. The name associated with the picture on the page is totally different. And if you look through the page there's a photo of a woman with the same first name and, separately, a man with the same last name. Google is probably picking up that as a result because there's not a lot out there associated with the name.
Is there an actual archived page showing that the name was changed or is that just a guess?
