I had quoted some portion of Spaded Dave's quite relevant posts earlier on, but seems I have managed to overwrite them and so not sure where I would've grabbed it. Oops.
Nick's Creator rant regarding the tragedy of being nipped by the Clipper pirahnas were more revealing than I think he could realize due to his immaturity.
Something I've picked up from his moveset is he loves to reframe his own internal running narratives/monologues as guidance(!) towards other Creators. Largely, he's talking about himself as the small, innocent, easily wounded streamer, but he's disguising his inner child with business speak from a pseudo-professional. His skin is so thin, it's practically translucent.
Example:
By stating that there's no objective point to go after the Clippers, he's admitted the game is rigged so to speak and he can't avoid undesirable narratives.
He's also unintentionally admitted if something
could be done about the clippers without him exposing himself as a complete twit AND not having to file a lawsuit, he would've likely done so by now. The argument was that one can't, not that they
shouldn't.
His advice is often watered down to such a degree it's not possible to tell where he gets his "wisdom" from but it's enough to draw upon the empathic reserves of his audience. More parasitic behaviorial patterns on behalf of the Creator but it's quite revealing as to
what he feels his current needs, motives and objectives are when hearing
his advice (to himself) as he deflects it to others.
Theoretically, it could also serve as a way to put himself emotionally above his audience where he feels more empowered, making him feel he still has control and also making it harder to criticize since "I'm just giving advice, geez!".
In prior days, this weird quirk could be worked down to being part of his charm, but no more. I figure others have since learned his "guidance" is often a claptrap of narcissistic code that signals issues that
really get under his skin and helps veil his deeply entrenched victim mentality.
His situation wouldn't be a problem for most channels anyway unless they're doing something truly pitiful. Someone taking the piss out of other Youtubers and how they presents themselves is not worth filing a notice or even mentioning. The better advice would be to instruct others how to keep their grift above board, how to take apart good advice and manage a channel
professionally so that they don't end up looking like pricks or running their channels into the ground like some kind of imbecile.
But!... if you are an aspiring streamer who wants to encounter all the petty drama he keeps warning people about, then I suggest to follow his advice: Be as defensive as
humanly possibly mentally and emotionally, make it your life's work to complain, then cater only to your needs and never take advice or make changes based on what may aid or guide your audience to stick with you and grow. And when they do stick by you, make sure to complain bitterly whenever they want to check in with you to see if everything is OK and ask when you next plan to stream. Don't take that as a compliment, see it as an opportunity to seethe.
This is a how a proper clip should be made. Elissa Clips needs to take copious notes.
A little confused though. Isn't Divinity friends with Rekieta? Are we seeing detractors brave enough to call out the lies.................. or is it that you just can't look away from this car wreck any longer?
To be quite fair, Jude, Div likely has embraced her Clairvoyance for the inner trailer trash and seems to have a skill for sensing it in others. I believe this to be the one key trait that makes her stand out amongst the big crowd of lawtube clippers. She can play the victim card just as well, if not better, as the people she is clipping from as we've seen from the Faraning of her channel. That's a skill most only unlock from their Grifter skilltree further down the line and she's managed it quite successfully so early on. I've always thought her trajectory would be very interesting.
