And realistically, who could Nick hold up as a shining example of a Lawtuber that he launched to new heights?
- Emily Baker did her own thing and hasn't been associated since Rittenhouse
- Viva Frei similarly established his own niche and similarly hasn't been seen since Kyle. It's arguable that Viva made Nick with his Rittenhouse tweet later boosted by Jack Posobiec that made Nick's trialstreaming explode
- Uncivil Law is reapplying for lawyer jobs
- Good Lawgic hustles every night but isn't particularly relevant or growing
- Runkle of the Bailey has carved out his small livestreaming niche of an interesting blend of Canadian gun nuts and foreigners liking wholesome content
- LegalBytes apparently still does okay but no one gives a shit
- Law&Lumber did okay on the Maya coverage, but is more of an Alyte creation
- have no idea what Nate the Lawyer is up to.
- Legal Vices grew a moderately successful channel from nothing. But still works a day job. And put in a lot of work on his own, curating his own audience with unique content like reviewing maritime disasters, watching the old OJ trial, doing Friday drinking streams after Nick rebranded, etc.
In some respects, other than Legal Vices, Potentially Criminal is probably the best example of Nick's halo effect 2.0 after Rittenhouse.
Sean has acted as a refugee camp for disaffected Nick fans. But even then, his channel only has 17-18k subs, even with Nick's "boost". And Sean hustles himself, streaming trials, consistent Thursday night shows covering actual legal stuff, twice weekly exclusive Locals content.
And even with Sean, he still came back on stream as an Internet friend when Nick was at his worst and was burning all the bridges.
I suspect that the subject of Nick’s loyalty rant was either:
-Sean, for his farms enjoyment, absorbing Nick’s former audience + discord members, and acquiring his lost cool factor. Can’t have the lolcow on now…
-Legal Mindset. We haven’t heard a peep from Asia’s Peter Pan since the final Faran debacle. Anyone still watch him?
-Maybe someone from FlashCast?
I don’t think any of the others really matter to Nick. Funnily, the
only group that will care about his loyalty speech will be the e-thot/clout chasers whom Nick doesn’t really care about anyway, other than being stuffed-animal space fillers for him at his degenerate tea party—which will likely only further irritate him.
Legal Vices is just creepy, painfully boring Jeff, and is tolerated as much as the other clout chasers, aside from a handful of boomers and older wine moms who seem to still like him.
Good Lawgic, to his own credit, draws a respectable 1-2k live YT viewers nightly, absorbing Nick’s former viewers who want a more wholesome experience. He’s still generous with Nick though, so it can’t be him.
Speaking of Faran, isn’t Nick’s loyalty speech reminiscent of this:

Side note: for a mental, out-of-touch clout goblin, whom everyone wished would just go away, her serpentine senses were dead-on about Nick’s similarly distorted sense of loyalty. He always played it off as not caring and being against loyalty tests, but this bitch saw past that veneer, and always licked his butthole with her platitudes, such that if Divinity (clipper) hadn’t held Faran’s saggy tits to the fire and exposed her as a deranged backstabbing fraud, she’d still be around super-chatting her way on to his stream nightly.
