- Nick went ahead and referred to his nanny as his housekeeper multiple times. Pretty much confirms it is the same people
Thanks for these locals summaries! And thanks for the confirmation on the help. I still am dumbfounded at what a mess that house is. If what Nick occasionally shows on screen is any indicator, the rest of the house must be a sty. 5 kids (well, 7 mental juveniles) is a lot, but nary an empty surface? In the kitchen?!? No wonder he doesn't cook anymore.
Clean your room, bucko.
he has trouble finding time.
Nick said he hates commitments.
He just cannot make and keep commitments.
I'm sensing a pattern here. The inability to do what he says, to be faithful, it feels like it's not just with his audience, but with his family as well.
Nick repeats certain phrases multiple times across multiple shows, DM's, and other platforms.
He's trying to convince both the audience and himself of the lies. By framing stuff he doesn't want to talk about as "muh Trump and muh guns", he can appease the wine aunts and not have to do work.
His subs drop paused because he wasn't streaming.
This is a great point. The typical youtube user behavior is not to drop someone because they don't update videos. The typical behavior is they keep seeing stuff they don't like come up in their feed, which reminds them to unsubscribe. You can see this with dying channels, like idubbz. The subscriber drops happen most often on the new video being posted.
There is also the theory about youtube unsubscribing people. I know people have sworn it's happened, and maybe it does. But I don't see evidence that there are thousands dropping at youtube's action, unless it's bot removal. Then it shows up as drops across channels. If Nick had a channel with videos worth re-watching, his best move would be to stop posting new stuff. But who re-watches a Rekieta stream?
- Nick said view numbers on YT are unknowable and unfathomable.
I think Rumble is inflating the public figures to look better to investors and prospective new streamers, whereas a giant behemoth like Alphabet/Google/Youtube doesn't have nearly the same concern, so their public tracking of these metrics is probably about as accurate as the software will allow.
Number tracking is as much an art as a science. We see this with traditional TV, we see this with web site rankings. We know Youtube will count a view at a user only having watched 5 seconds of video. My supposition is rumble does it at 1 second, but others have posited other theories, including multipliers or tracking pages and media. As mentioned also upthread, the real tell for Rackets is the money he's taking in, and it's gone way down.
I would love to know how the Locals is going- thanks to the logs, we can see the chatter has gone way down, so engaged users are down. We also know from things like Patreon heat-deaths (like Spoony or Lowtax) that people often leave subscriptions running until the creator does something truly vile. I would not be shocked if a lot of those annual subscriptions from last summer opted not to renew, but I guess we have no way of knowing. My supposition is his numbers are still solid 4 digits on Locals subs, but there just isn't enough data to know if he's closer to 3 digits or to the 5k he trumpeted last year.
lewds in the Locals chat. But that was only because people were correctly starting to call him a degenerate and Lady Rackets a whore. Primarily because he was acting like a degenerate with a bottle up his ass and she was posting photos to public groups like an attention starved whore.
