Yeah, page 200. December of 2020. That's ancient. It seems like he caught a little bit of shit for this at the time, but not enough to tip the balance of the thread against him and have him redesignated a lolcow. That wouldn't come for another two years.

Plus, it seems to me like most of the focus was on his attire and act, and the clip with the kids went mostly uncommented on.

A lot of this has to do with how much leeway he was given because of the facade he put up. He was making fun of ethots and innocently borrowed his kids clothes to make a point. Why didn't he buy clothes just for it? He probably just forgot and had to make do. That is Nick after all, always being unprepared. Ain't he funny!

With hindsight you have a degenerate coomer dressing up in his daughter's clothes and getting off as men over the internet degrade him.

They're going belly-up. Unlike smart rats, Nick is running into a sinking ship instead of fleeing one. What a faggot loser.

Honestly Nick may have been right to drag his feet on rumble. I and everyone else in the thread who pushed him to it seem to have been wrong about it. I wrongly assumed no one could be as retarded as Rumble has been. Video platforms are hard but at one point they were gaining critical mass and squandered it.

One of their biggest problems is just incompetence when it comes to the backend. I pointed this out before with crowder videos but they are counting the preview clip as a view. I shouldn't have to explain why this is insane.

At this point I just check the thread to see Nick Balldo's no show posts because they make me laugh lol

Here’s a thotstream archive if anyone wants it

The most objective criticism I would make about that stream is questioning the decision to leave a child, who is not old enough to understand that the toys will be returned, alone in a room with a live camera. It seems silly to assume she would not walk into the camera's view or inadvertently share personal information you didn't want made public, especially after she had already said a siblings name and repeatedly wanted to walk over to the toys. If she doesn't comprehend that you aren't permanently taking everyone's toys, why would you think she can grasp the other instructions she was given when left alone?

One of their biggest problems is just incompetence when it comes to the backend.

I took a quick look on r/RumbleForum to see if I could find any information about advertising monetization. Although I didn't get definitive answers, I discovered that most users there are just as confused as I am about how Rumble payouts and stats work. There's no way to make a direct comparison to a channel like Rekieta's, and this is hardly a sufficient sample size to confirm anything. However, here are three different people posting their ad stats on Reddit. I didn't cherry-pick these examples; they are simply the first three threads I clicked on.




The data includes Raw Views, Unique Views, Ad Eligible Views, and Filled Ads. I'm unsure how the ratio of Raw Views to Unique Views would compare to YouTube's methodology, but it appears that many people are being counted as multiple Raw Views. More interestingly, though, are the Ad Eligible Views and Filled Ads.

From what I have gathered, Ad Eligible Views are views that meet the following criteria: 1) the video can be monetized, meaning no sex, drugs, violence, etc., and no videos containing copyrighted content you don't own; 2) the viewer is located in the correct geographic region, primarily the USA and, to a much lesser extent, Canada and the UK; 3) the views are from people who are not using ad blockers; 4) a single unique viewer may count as multiple Ad Eligible Views.

Filled Ads refers to the ads that were served and counted towards payment. In those three examples, we have a 16.8% filled rate, a 6.40% filled rate, and a 0.173% filled rate, giving a combined filled rate of 2.42%. The most likely reason why more ads are not filled, according to Reddit users, is that Rumble is not selling nearly enough ads to fill all the videos and streams that are Ad Eligible.

Sorry Nicki, 60% of nothing is nothing.

If we just do the simple scaling of the 2nd image (raw view to earning). Nick's 100k view average streams on rumble would yield him...each stream...8 dollars

I sure hope he thinks he's getting youtube rates on rumble. Just thinking of the seethe makes me lol.

Other than the dressing like a fag thing I don't think that clip with his kid is that damming tbh. I would laugh at my kid too if they just sat there crying for a couple of minutes over something irrelevant. Perhaps I am giving him the benefit of the doubt even after knowing everything we know now but I feel like it's weak evidence against him.

What's this about crying? I had just assumed that this was his twitch thot stream and didn't check into it further cause I'm not into that shit but there's a part in there where the kid is crying because of nick? Huh. That thing has been posted every couple months over the years but this is the first time I've heard of this (never watched it live)

Yeah, the thread is a nightmare to navigate, but I found the original full clip earlier in this thread. It wasn't posted in the past 10 months like I'd thought, but I believe that it came up in conversation last Fall when discussing incidents where his kids had been audible/visible on his streams.

 

[Himedall All-seeing Waifu]

innocently borrowed his kids clothes to make a point. Why didn't he buy clothes just for it?

He did not borrow the children's clothing. As I recall, he made a fuss about how difficult some of the items were to find.

Are you recalling his wife borrowing one of their sons' blazers from a Halloween costume for a boudoir photoshoot?

 

[Chazzed Up]

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Excellent choice. The Malkavian playthrough is hilarious. You get to have conversations with stop signs and televisions.

It's not my first time playing but I'm aiming for first playthrough. Seems like the general advice is don't play Malkavian or Nosferatu on your first playthrough but I want to spice it up. Hopefully it's not 0 INT Fallout type of entertaining handicap though lol.

I respect that they bring people on YouTube in on Balldo lore (via Elissa segmenting), and that PPP called him out way earlier than a lot of others did, but I cannot stand them.

Is there a better channel to watch Nick commentated? It's really hard to digest his streams without some riffing and pauses to take in the retardation. I can't fucking stand Warski but I think PPP's commentary is usually interesting. I wonder what the stream would be like without Andy, because I've often suspected he dumbs down the commentary so that Andy doesn't end up looking even more retarded and unable to contribute to the discussion.

If it happened on stream it's an asshole thing for him to do. If he had a shred of respect for his family he would have kept all of them off-stream from the start. Mocking your kid like a schoolyard bully in front of an audience is really shitty. It's not damning in itself so much as it just continues to be a pattern of behavior that Nick is immature and not a strong leadership figure in his family. That kind of thing is more appropriate for an older sibling, not your dad. Also if his kids are emotionally maladjusted and crying, I would venture a guess that might have to do with their parents not caring about parenting them.

That must be what i am misremembering. So many damn things to keep track of.

 

[Dixieland Buckaroo]

Eric Hunley is lawtube adjacent and has spoken about Rumble ad revenue. It's pennies per quarter for him. Others on that stream (can't find it at present) agreed or got nothing at all from Rumble.

To be fair though, youtube ad revenue is also garbage. You have to be pulling millions of views to get any ad revenue. I think even Rackets said he made more off Premium Youtube subscribers watching him than he ever made from ads.

It will only get worse when people realize the economy is crashing. It will be the second coming of the dot com bubble in 2000, only instead of banner ads going to shit, it's going to be pre-rolls, mid-rolls, post-rolls, the videos that pop up on every web page. It won't even be worth the bandwidth to run them.

Anyway, balldo could have guaranteed revenue if he fostered his community in Locals (or whereever) to maintain a consistent stream. But instead, he fucked off to leathery wine aunts and told the paypigs to fuck off. To be so lucky...

Sounds about right.

What he used to make the most amount money off of, in his best YouTube years, was Superchats.

The formula for disaster here is: No guaranteed minimum income anymore + low Superchats.

Previously he claimed that he didn't care about Superchats anymore because he felt it better for Rumble to pay him instead.

I don't think that's feasible anymore.

Yeah, he was up in v-tuber land back in the day.

Assuming the balldo-lickers stayed with it, 5000+ Locals subscribers at (was it?) $5 a month, might have been a better annual rate than he doing on superchats. Obviously, he did better on his Rittenhouse and Depp months, but $25k a month is nothing to sneeze at. You could even afford 8x snack months with some change to spare!

Playboard has him at $1.2 mil on superchats across his career on youtube, but at $465 for the last week. I'm not paying or creating an account to find out what he historic averages were, but that seems about right. I think there were months he was making 6 figures, but he was also working for 400+ hours a month doing it.
Edit to add: current playboard screenshot:

COUNTERPOINT: Feigning morality to take shots at Nick is based, actually. It comes with the territory when you're a fake Christian living a million dollar lie. His existence as a content creator has been predicated upon feigning morality. Do unto others!

Nick mocking his kid for crying is also really fucking rich when he cries for hours on end about his hurt feelings and passive-aggressively texts Josh.

His Locals content is still going to be him whining and eating in the kitchen.
So organic, much spontaneity.

I can't believe Rekieta sucked dick for a Rumble contract

Why give him a contract for what he'd do for free?

None of it is actually NEW new or something that's been "scrubbed from the Internet" like they say.

The only reason it's a little harder to find is because it was on twitch instead of YouTube. I dropped into it live just to see if it was real as someone had posted a clip to twitter. I left because it was way too awkward for my tastes. He claimed he did it because he lost a bet at the time but now I'm not so sure. Like everyone else it definitely should have been a huge red flag but let it slide at the time.

Guys, I don't think Nick is lying about the Rumble contract. I have a digital copy of it right here:

Seems legit to me.
