I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be all manufactured outrage.
Nick saw the ban coming after his second strike, and all the sudden, this massive drama/betrayal happens.
They're both going to profit from the drama, and it's a good distraction from the fact that Fuentes goes on gay dates with a pedophile....
and it's not like JF's going to tarnish his reputation any further by doing this, he seems pretty proud of being petty and vindictive.
It's not manufactured outrage. Nick and JF have been trading slights against each other for like a while now. IIRC, they debated about the 2018 missile strikes against Syria. JF was against the Groyper Wars. JF has a close relationship with Richard Spencer, and Spencer and Fuentes got beef with each other.
jf seems to think he will not be taken off YT because he's "better optics" and has toned down the jew-naming etc on his videos. he is delusional. YT will ban anyone remotely sympathetic to these types of views.
Which is funny because Nick thought he had better optics than X/Y/Z people who have been deplatformed. They're gonna come for JF eventually, but he's too oblivious to see that.
People who hold the same beliefs as Nick, JF, etc. shouldn't make it easier for people to justify them being deplatformed by telling edgy jokes or cosplaying as Nazis, but at the end of the day it really doesn't matter. People who advocate those kind of positions are always gonna be deplatformed, even if they have the best optics.
I get why Venti defended Nick, she wants to suck the catboi peen real bad. Shapiro defending him... Did the timelines get crossed again? wtf
Someone earlier in this thread tried to say that Nick fucked Venti. That's obviously bullshit because if she did, she would never be able to STFU about having taken Nick's virginity.
Pretty interesting takes from Spencer and Shapiro of all people, I wonder how JF will react knowing that his favorite guest is not onboard with his supposed antics. I think this marks the beginning of the stagnation period in Nick's e-celeb career, he'll have an initial boost from the interest generated in his deplatforming, but will fade to persona non grata once that cools off in my opinion. Or if he's smart, he went the Alex Jones route and set up his own infrastructure to keep the grift going, but I don't think the paypiggery has given him that much of a war-chest to do so.
Nick has appeared on many InfoWars shows, including ones where Alex Jones was the host, in the last year. He also went on Milo's show, which is a property of Gavin McInnes' Censored.TV. Gavin's network also has a show hosted by Laura Loomer and Soph uploads her videos videos there.
Nick can't afford to go the Alex Jones route. Alex's ability to rise the way he has really isn't possible these days. He got his start on public-access television in the 90s and then switched to radio. Then in the 2000s, he started broadcasting from his home via the internet. Along the way he built up a massive, loyal following that wastes their money on InfoWar's products.
Streaming video is extremely expensive, he's gonna have to partner with a group like InfoWars or Censored.TV. I think that's why he's been making connections with them for the last year. That's why he went on Milo's show.
The question is will those networks put restrictions on what Nick is allowed to say, specifically regarding the JQ, which is a central aspect of his ideology.
I think he'd probably prefer to be a part of InfoWars. That would be a more respectable decision over Censored.TV, IMO. Alex Jones has many dumb beliefs and he sells a lot of sheisty products, but he doesn't give me the same kind of negative vibe that Gavin does.
What Gavin let happen to those Proud Boys in New York is disgusting. Him and the organization he created is why those men are in prison. For those who don't know, some Proud Boys got into a fight with ANTIFA outside the Metropolitan Republican Club in New York where Gavin was holding an event. The ANTIFA members refused to cooperate with police and didn't testify. Two of the Proud Boys got 4 years in prison.

Gavin acted like he had their back, but he didn't. He stepped down from leading the Proud Boys under the guise of it being something he was doing to help the Proud Boys that were being tried. In reality, it was just to cover his own ass because law enforcement groups (IIRC, the FBI) were considering labeling the Proud Boys a gang, and if that happened it would open Gavin up to RICO charges.
Gavin consistently bitched about money and supposedly did a fundraiser for them while he lived in a multi-million dollar house and wore a Patek Philippe watch.
Gavin didn't spend a dime in paying news outlets or a PR firm to set the brand of the Proud Boys straight. He let newspapers call the Proud Boys white supremacists without fighting back. One of the men charged and convicted, John Kinsman, has a black wife and bi-racial child.
Another reason why I think Nick would lean toward joining InfoWars is because he's always liked Alex Jones and aped some of Jones' public-access TV bits. The first example that comes to mind is on Halloween, Jones would carve a pumpkin live on air. Nick has done that several times too.
Also, this could be why Nick has started to peddle dumb conspiracy theories like "dinosaurs aren't real, fossil records are forgeries."
