As an addendum to my previous analysis post, and to be fair and balanced, Rippa is also taking a hit to his sub count, but it's about a third of the rate of Rekieta. However, it's too soon to know how his response to ISOM (the ministery) is gonna affect him. It might hurt him further.
Out of curiosity, I went to playboard and his current super chat revenue is down to 2020 levels. During his peak in late 2020 through to late 2022, he could easily pull at least 1.5k per stream, sometimes even 3k. This weren't even his trial streams, but his night shows.
I hope he was smart with the Rittenhouse and Depp money, because the well is drying up. Still, trial streams always made more cash. You would think Nick would be looking for any trial to grift off of as often as he can. If I was bringing in 3k to 6k a day, my wife would be doing everything in her power to guarantee that I had the time to do those streams.
And, let's be real here, the overwhelming majority of "Christian Influencers" are cringy as fuck.
Yes. As the Bible says, be in the world, but not of the world, and modern "Christian Influencers" are terrible at it. They are literally unable to engage with audiences they want to reach out to. They just cater to people who are already Christian; they simply can't relate to people that engage in stuff like YouTube or Twitch streamers. Perfect example is contemporary Christian music. It's terrible. Granted, there are forces at work that wouldn't dare let an openly Christian artist rise to the ranks of Taylor Swift or Lady Gaga, but that's assuming people of that caliber of talent are making Christian music. They're not. The rare ones with talent (like Lauren Daigle), what do they do? They make music that appeals to Christians and just earn a living off that niche instead of using their talents to make music that non-Christians and Christians alike can appreciate and use the platform their celebrity provides them for outreach. Amy Grant was the closest Christians got to that in the 90's.
EDIT: At one point, I thought Nick would be that guy. Family man, Christian, but not a perfect one, because none of us are (and this is the issue with a lot of Christian influencers, they feel they need to be one to be any authority, which is simply not true), but his moral foundation was based on it, and was willing to speak about it openly. He was relatable to your average conservative Christian crowd. Then it just went downhill from there.
