Why'd you even ask "what happened to them going after Nick & Baked?" if you're already convinced the answer is moot?
Anyway, as I responded to instythot above, I think you're vastly underrating the vids Godwinson did on Fuentes, but that's only the beginning of what you're underrating. Do you not remember the polar opposite opinion and attitude most of Kiwifarms and the ibs/ibs-adjancent eceleb spheres had towards Dick Masterson before PPP, Godwinson, Surfer and Leo went after him? Hate their current goofing-off, mostly kayfabe, low-effort content all you want, but acting like Godwinson and PPP are just two ineffective opportunists that beat on an already dead horse for attention is just not reflective of reality, and it's not true
