Yes, it's dire enough that I'm finding it harder to keep up through transcripts. It's like reading through patient logs from within the psych ward lounge. Most have become broken records of information anyway, much like Nick.
Sure, Nick hasn't had a single cataclysmic loss of subs like YouTubers thrown into major scandal. But he has quietly started consistently losing subs.
I certainly had issues getting the site to function on Tor and couldn’t post until recently. So I’m kind of glad that the site is a little slower because it made catching up on all the threads much easier than I anticipated
I could be late on this, but weren't people saying Kayla was nowhere to be seen in that video? I didn't watch it when it was posted then.More proof that FNT did not spend time with Rekieta:

I wonder if the next drama Coomalot will milk for months are rumors about him fucking Kayla, I can totally see him posting a picture of her in his house or hotel room on twitter just to farm clicks
Yeah the branding was questionable. Those banners were basic bitch stuff, like dump it on fiver shit.
The speculation, that I'm inclined to agree with, is that Nick was brought to Rumble to bring his superchat magic over. Even Youtube/Google/Alphabet didn't get how Nick was getting the chats he was. Now we on the thread believe a good chunk was the "muh dead orangutan has kidney stones please pray for muh uncle" shit, but he gamed the system in a way that defied explanation and analysis, as compared to peers or even much larger and more prolific channels.
100% agree on this. If he helped out all, it was outsourcing it to a minion who did the least amount of work or outsourced it themselves.
Still can't believe he threw away his superchats autism for locals. Retarded move
He had a working formula before with Discord, with so payup monthly and get a weekly show and maybe some after shows. And if you wanted to live react, do it in the youtube chat. I get wanting to have a sustainable level of support, and a $25k/month gross take is pretty nice for most people (5k supporters at $5/mo). But feels like he could have balanced that with the super chats, rather than just giving up. I guess it was too much work.
I've never taken much stock in subscriber count. It's almost an entirely meaningless metric. Especially when you get into the autism of "paid subscribers", "inactive subscribers", etc. The more important number is the average viewership, and that indicates a much sharper decline.
in order to keep good live numbrs you need: consistency of both content and schedule, and Nick doesn't have neither of those.
Or an actual fed or any combination of the three.
He's now lower than his post vic but pre rittenhouse peak. iirc he was starting to hit 2500 yt live viewers before rittenhouse. This was him climbing steadily back up after he lost like 1000 live viewers immediately after vic lost. iirc, peak vic was also 2500+ but only something major happened, usually he was 1700+. after that lost he dropped down hard to 700 and he 'hand waived' it with a "yt is randomly cutting me" cope.
Hasn't he mentioned the 3 streams a week obligation and that's how we came up with the 12 streams a month thing? We don't know if the contract says per week or per month or even per year but I can see it having a per week clause and a total clause. I can also see nick thinking he can just fall back on the total and use that to argue for his renegotiation. Like he thinks he can barely stream for 3 weeks+ and 'make up' for it with previous/coming months streams where he 'overshot' the target.IIRC, I think it was speculated to be 12.
He doesn't seem that stressed about making the threshold for this month, so either he's allowed to take off a month or he convinced them to waive the requirement for this month because he was going to draw so much attention at Anime Matsuri.
That's an interesting analysis. I didn't think to compare him to Sterling. Like Sterling, the loss seems to be attributable to a drastic change in the content he does, and not any one major thing. Sterling trooned out, whereas Nick became a degen coomer. The result is slow(ish) bleed out.
Actually, peak Vic was literally over 9000, Specifically, it was the show where Ty Beard first appeared in March of 2019. People were celebrating the fact that Vic hired a lawyer and was fighting back, and everybody spammed "It's over 9000!" in chat when the view counter rolled over. Then Nick did the meme in a Vegeta voice.
He also "kinda" did trial streams, so maybe that cover the time amount stipulated.
I don't know, viewership isn't correlating with superchats on yt but especially rumble. Doesn't really matter if you have 100 or 10000 when you are getting 10 superchats in a 4 hour show. This isn't a Nick only issue but it was something Nick was brought in to help with and he has failed.
I am willing to wager that Nick did 0 communication before the week of the convention. From what I have heard, YT corner is pretty much totally independent and gets minimal con support. Sure they pay for things and set it up, but they probably have to submit a requisition. With the rest of the convention to plan, the owners have little time to clean up after Nick, so you got what you see.
He thought he was interesting enough for a lot people to pay a small amount and not miss it. He traded a smaller, whale audience to try to court a larger normie audience that was immediately turned off by the degeneracy.
TBF, there was one issue with Nick's Discord which makes Locals the better option in theory. Namely, when you signed up for his Patreon (or NP2, when that was a thing), either Nick, Soter or (maybe) @KEK7go had to manually send you a Discord invite. That also meant that they would have to check to see if somebody halted payment and then manually remove that person from the Discord. With Locals, it's all one automated system. I could see why Locals is preferable. From what I have been lead to believe, there were quite a lot of people in Nick's Discord who weren't actually paying the monthly amount.
The real bonus for Nick is that his Discord bullied out all except for a few women. How was he going to get ass photos from his Discord?
Let's consider that Hedonism 2 employees like Ricardo and Romaine aren't allowed to have sex with guests, so if Kayla giving R&R lapdances isn't enough for Nick, he's forced to hand her to other pasty white dudes while he gets with the leathery old Mandies there.
IIRC average was 2-3K for anything Vic related and maybe 1K for other streams. One of his big streams was the FuniLeaks stream where Nick played all the DBZ dub VA clips like the one with Goku talking about the faggot-ass clothes. He got like 10-11K viewers that night and was the second most viewed stream on Youtube (beside that instrumental rap beats stream).
He also overestimated the amount of money that degenerates would give him. He is not a highly attractive sexual content creator. He does not perform or draw niche sexual acts for them. He was their "friend" who they paid to talk to. There is no incentive for them to whale for him like the WeebWars and Lawtube fans used to.
