I feel like he didn't get any contract with Rumble, which actually surprises me. If he got any sort of contract, even a predatory one, he would absolutely crow about it without giving any details and use it as a massive own against us since he seems to think we were positive he was getting nothing. Even though we were mostly only skeptical that he'd maintain or increase the value of what he gets.

I agree. The only thing holding me back is the fact that he had quiet negotiations with Rumble going on in later October up until he announced the initial contract.

With each day, I am leaning more toward 'no contract',, and that used to be thr minority opinion in this thread starting in November an December.

So if I'm reading that right it was from a YT comments on a livestream or on a video, and "she" just said what her Steam account name was? I think that little connector screenshot should be slipped into that long post as the thread connecting her to "MKFlower".

I'll leave it up to BG to make any changes to the post ITT, but it might be good to note for the mini MAN-dy arc summary in the OP.

This video popped up in my feed the other day, and I'd be interested in what people think.

Just a note that if you use the 'Insert Media' function from the toolbar, you can do direct embeds of popular streaming site videos directly if you do not upload a local copy.

Everyone should always archive video or upload a local copy.

Nick had a meta where his viewers would send him messages and he'd pray for them. Come on now. He may have never been a faithful christian but he sure pushed that idea on the audience.

I am sure Nick has a persecution complex about this, but it is not entirely unwarranted. If you hold out ANY moral standard, people WILL use it to attack you. Nick's problem seems to be that he held the position for clout and was unable or unwilling to defend it when it was assailed.

For whatever reasons, he made personal decisions to move the show in the direction he did in the summer of 2022. He had a plan for his locals to be about parasocial relationships and shared degeneracy with his audience. When the bottles started going in asses and the nude photos from his wine moms started getting posted, nobody can say that wasn't a major change to the sort of things Nick had done previously.

There is also the fact that Nick always had some kind of parasocial connection to people via his e-mail and DISCORD. It was a more tenous one with less commitment, but still there.A lot of the old fans were suddenly disowned when Nick put more focus and attention into LOCALS amd more emphasis on a different kind of relationship dynamic.

As much as Nick claims his audience is constantly turning over so he cannot carer to an audience, he was wrong. He still had a sizeable core audience who served a support role that he thought that the wine moms would replace. They did not. Nick jumped into thr Channel from his boat without securing another first.

I don't think that he's arguing that Nick's behaviour hasn't changed, as it clearly has (and the video might have benefited from making that clearer). He's arguing that Nick never really positioned himself as this massive conservative, Christian 'Trad Husband' - and the signs of Nicks sexual deviancy were there from the beginning.

With the benefit of hindsight you could probably find mask skips and signs of anything now. For example, the raccoon and skunk story from April 2019 seemed to slip under the radar at the time. Hell, I missed it. It seems like a lot of people here did too. It would not surprise me if other warning signs are found.

But to say he didn't try to put up a front that a lot of people accepted, is patently ridiculous. You had things like the Whiskey Drinking Lawyer song (depicting him as a virtuous family man), his criticism of Jack Murphy's behavior and hypocrisy, the Chad Dad streams, him explicitly asking people to contact him with their troubles, his discussions of Christianity, his defense of Vic as a Christian man being torn down by godless SJWs, etc. All of those, and more, contributed greatly to people's perception of Nick over time.

The argument he never misled people is stupid because it suggests there was some sort of mass delusion going on. Which is implausible. It's not like one or two people believed the façade. It's thousands. Including, but not limited to, many people on Kiwi Farms. This is a cope Nick uses to try and handwave away completely legitimate accusations of him engaging in dishonesty for years.

Even Andrew/Legal Mindset has come around to this point of view now. Previously, he had accepted Drex's suggestion that this was all projection from disgruntled ex-fans. Now Andrew seems to agree there was a mask, and that putting on that mask was ultimately Nick's biggest fuckup. That if Nick had been forthright from the beginning, he would have certainly had his share of critics, but not the huge backlash and a mass exodus you are seeing now. Before there was a fall from a cracked artifice, there had to be a rise based on an intact one. A lot of people supported Nick because he led them to believe he was something he wasn't. Way too many people for it to have been "projection." Recall that Null had explained that Nick had a strong "white pilling" effect in the way he used to act. I think that's a good summary of how people viewed Nick.

TL;DR If your thesis is that Nick was always this way, under the surface, I would certainly accept that. I don't believe he suddenly underwent a radical personality change internally. I think he just now shows his true personality that he previously hid from people. However, if your thesis is that he never tried to hide who he really is, or that he didn't put up a front, I think the evidence is clear that's false.

In the end, I don't mind the argument that Nick fooled people and that he was a fraud. I accept that. I do mind the argument that a bunch of people viewed Nick the way they did with no rational basis whatsoever. That only serves to try and shift blame to his former audience for them leaving him. As if there is no onus on him whatsoever for the situation he finds himself in.

Do I feel foolish for believing Nick? A little, yeah. But I also learned a very valuable lesson about the honesty (or lack thereof) of online streamers, and am comforted by the fact a hell of a lot of people were fooled too. I think I'm in good company.

That's great and all but in the PerceptionCheck DM leak Nick admits that he has changed. So he publicly says he has not changed yet in private admits to changing.

Everybody who was around in 2019 saw the same thing. Those with a shred of honesty admit that Nick hoodwinked them. Nick also knows he hoodwinked them, based on those PC leaks where he admits as much, and other things. I think majority of people that have adopted Nick's position that he never resorted to deception are those who remain slavishly loyal to Nick, and they have adopted that position because it is Nick's position. They are free to do that, but I don't think they're gonna make much headway with it.

 

[Neetorino]

I would also not accept that he is only doing what he is doing now because of decreased inhibitions and alcohol.

This is one of the big things for me. I 100% accept that the drugs Nick did at "not Hedonism II" completely fucked up his view on things and prevent him from putting the mask back in place the same way; the alcohol had been there for a while and wouldn't be the sole factor for "the change" when everything seems to have flipped exactly around the time at Hedo. Another problem he has is that he seems to believe he can still maintain some of the mask, i.e. coping and seething about his secret trips being found out when he barely hides them. It's exactly like you said:

He wanted to over-share and at the time have a private life. That will never work.

Decreased inhibitions is what it looked like at first, but like he says he's always been this way. He just can't hide it as well anymore. Now he just wants to know how much BBC he can get his hands lips asshole around before someone snaps a picture of him in the act.

 

[Kurohige]

A channel rebrand was discussed as early as late 2022 and at the time he rejected it because it'd cause a viewership loss. At this point i think he sees that as admitting defeat. It really would be the best solution.

Agreed, and it shows the delusion; he clearly knew people knew the one channel more, and had their expectations, but just eventually degraded everything.

The earliest point of decline for Nick, I believe, was when he started to enjoy the post-trial boons for the channel being immediately stagnated by a Drexel stream, for the express purpose of "weeding out the recent subscriptions of turbo normies" who were there for the trial streams, content touring from conservative Twitter.

It started as a joke, but then it showed the signs people would see later on of, "If you don't like that I don't solely talk about law on Rekieta Law, you can go elsewhere. I literally streamed with people you would prefer more. Otherwise, enjoy me!"

The thing is he had Drexel and other wierdoes like out Dear Feeder for a long time. I think the canary in the coal mine for Nick was the Farhan(might have been someone else) stream where she tried to do a flip or a hand stand and showed her underwear. Nicky clearly goading her and then letting the stream stay up is a clear sign of him being a sex pest.

 

[AnOminous]

Another problem he has is that he seems to believe he can still maintain some of the mask, i.e. coping and seething about his secret trips being found out when he barely hides them. It's exactly like you said:

I don't even know why he bothers. The fag shit he did in that hot tub stream with another dude is as shameful as anything he would have done at Hedo II anyway. Having a sex dungeon in a house with five kids is as shameful as anything at Hedo II. Going to underwear parties at gay bars is shameful. Driving around kids drunk off his ass is shameful.

I don't get what he's getting out of denying Hedo II specifically, other than maybe some weird defiant buzz out of pretending Kiwi Farms didn't yet again call another one correctly.

 

[thebigdream]

With each day, I am leaning more toward 'no contract',, and that used to be thr minority opinion in this thread starting in November an December.

If I was generous, I'd say Nick was on a bridging contract until negotiations are complete. But that amount of effort would require Nick to have a product that Rumble want.

Faran was wearing very short shorts and laid back and spread her legs and kicked. You can't see anything but it's close and not a good look for a "professional journalist". Nick did take the stream down. He says Faran did not ask him to but that was always suspect. I'm not sure how much I would agree that Nick was "goading" her. They were both drunk and Faran is an adult.

he needs to keep up the denial in order to prevent taking yet another step down on the ladder of humiliation.
being an alcoholic + pervert + balldo enthusiast is already pretty bad, but it's still a step above being an alcoholic + pervert + balldo enthusiast + BBC cuckold.

No. It was the Balldo. It all started with that joke that stayed around too long. It allowed talk of sex shops, toys, aggressive monogamy while clubbing, and the de-stimarisation/prude talk.

Do a lot of conservatives not adequately address sexual dysfunction? Yes. Do they want to hear about it from a lawyer or political commentator? No! It had the rank stench of exhibitionism that far exceeded the titillating effect of burlesque or anything softcore that is quietly enjoyed and tolerated in these circles.

One problem for Nick is all his coping and seething has revealed just how thin skinned he is, he could appear to brush off criticism as long as he thought he had a large audience that would side with him, now that so many of his fans have turned on him he's perpetually ass blasted and can't hide it.

 

[Dixieland Buckaroo]

Having a sex dungeon in a house with five kids is as shameful as anything at Hedo II.

The sad thing is- he couldn't even get a contractor to do the work to build a sex dungeon. He just would whine about how hard it is to get contractors on stream. I think it was also going to add a main floor extra room for the kids as part of the project (so presumably the dungeon would be in the basement as an expansion and a ground floor room above it).

You'd think contractors would be lining up when they hear about how lax he is with expenses ($3k/mo nanny snacks), but the contractors sized good ol' Nicky Rackets as a nightmare client and ghosted him.

Nick being an unrelenting and obvious coomer is one thing, but my focus here was more on him clearly going along with and trying to be rid of the "fresh meat" viewers from the big trial streams if they didn't immediately adapt to something like a Drex stream, after a more focused and dedicated series of trial watching and analyses.

Doesn't help now that his current set-up maximizes the degeneracy. WTF Wednesdays and Fuck-My-Ass Fridays are so forced as weekly off-topic streams, that it had old guards starting to superchat and ask for law talk.

He would have been better off defaming Monty a million times, rambling about the inner workings of their lolsuits, instead of making his audience see Camelot and him take their shirts off, again and again.

 

[Spaded Dave]

The thing is he had Drexel and other wierdoes like out Dear Feeder for a long time.

I think the biggest reason it took me as long as it did to see the mask slip is that I avoided Drex streams like the plague. The first one was interesting, every single stream after that was monotonous repetition of both his previous points, as well as people's names.

"Nick. Nick. But Nick tho. Nick. Nick. Nick. German shepherds be trippin."

I also avoided the Dollhouse Phil streams and just assumed, incorrectly, that having him on was the joke. Turns out he's one of Nick's heroes.

What, you DON'T want to see two grown men strip their shirts off and literally guzzle semen colored liquid laced with vodka? What are you, an INCEL PRUDE KAREN FARMER!?

 

[Potatoherder]

Jack Murphy. Nick felt what Jack did was worth life ruination. So now you have Nick doing the same things that Jack was doing. IIRC Drex said on stream that Nick was terrified of being taken out like Jack.

 

[Stupor Mario]

No. It was the Balldo. It all started with that joke that stayed around too long

I agree. The introduction of the Balldo is a good demarcation line between the wacky, off-color banter and him signaling that he was coming out of the closet as a loud and proud degenerate. The only people into Balldos are total coomers. Anybody else would mock the shit out of something like that.

But in hindsight there were all kinds of signs. His obsession with futas and asking everybody about "balls or no-balls" should have been my first clue that he was a closet freak. Even his self-selected D&D character he did for a tabletop stream was this weird fairy creature with hentai tentacles.

 

[MirnaMinkoff]

That's great and all but in the PerceptionCheck DM leak Nick admits that he has changed. So he publicly says he has not changed yet in private admits to changing.

Attention, fame, money, etc… changed him. Nobody wants to admit that shit went to their heads, but it almost always does. I think Nick suddenly felt this married, small town lawyer with big family was too constricting and he should be living large.

Nick had a meta where his viewers would send him messages and he'd pray for them. Come on now. He may have never been a faithful christian but he sure pushed that idea on the audience.

As someone who has watched from the fringe it seemed like Nick started as a lolbwrtarian lawyer and Dick show guy. He liked a certain kind of edgy internet BS.

I was surprised later, around his big streaming trial peak, at how much he had cozied into the “conservative Christian family man” persona. Maybe as a way to contrast the MSM liberal trial coverage pov type of stuff. His audience really ate it up. His channel got big leaning into that persona, probably hard to resist given all the positive reinforcement and views it garnered.

It was funny when Jim mentioned that he thought at one time that Nick could make the jump to bigger media. I thought the same thing too because he suddenly seemed to be a Fox News wet dream. I thought this “Minn Christian father of five and lawyer” persona was his attempt to reel in the interest of mainstream conservative outlets looking for some fresh talent. It really seemed like he was trying out for some bigger profile media platform.

Maybe he was, but it didn’t work out like he had hoped, so he decided “fuck all this” I’m just going to get laid and drink and stop trying to appeal to some corporate bosses at X media company.

He didn’t get the cushy legal commentator on a conservative outlet contract, so why keep up the facade? But it’s just as likely that all the sudden fame and money made sliding into degeneracy really easy, it’s far easier than self-discipline and being humble.

 

[MaltVinegarRespecter]

I am NOT afraid of getting put in prison by the IRS for not paying my taxes, because I pay my taxes.
If Nick IS afraid of getting taken out like Jack Murphy...

He'd obviously do his usual Stupid Balldo Trick of refusing to give any kind of specific instructions but then bitching and complaining about the results.
