- Nick is proud of not knowing anything about the popular cases people care about. He has the training to understand and follow law, but he only likes to do it when it is interesting, entertaining, or has a novel argument.
More proof he does not want to be a real lawyer.
Nick boasting at the start of his show about how little he knew about the case because he doesn't care about "true crime" or whatever was weird.
He did a very similar thing during the Murdaugh trial, you may recall. His panel were all flabbergasted Emily Baker might think the guy was guilty and I recall there was an the implication that the reason might be that she was pandering to true crime loving wine moms. It wasn't bitterness that Baker was utterly eating Nick's lunch. Of course, the guy got convicted after very limited deliberations.
Isn't Andrea a public defender? If you thought you were too good for "true crime content", you could pretty easily steer the conversation in the direction of how you ethically represent someone who almost certainly committed a terrible crime.
But the idea of Rekieta being "too good" to cover anything is so laughable at this point when he's now known for getting drunk and creepily lusting over fans, or getting drunk and shouting epithets at people and getting sued for defamation afterwards, or getting drunk and telling people Rekieta Law was never a law channel.
Good Lawgic is now pulling in twice the amount of superchats and almost twice the chat count as Nick.
I get that Rekieta is also pulling in some from Rumble but man that's bad.
I dare say that Nick killed the golden goose, he can't pull up even if he wants to now. He'll have to stab in the dark in hopes he can latch onto a popular topic.
Rekieta's problem is that he was doing so well that he had more or less maxed out on the number of people interested in his old content, though he could have shifted into something else and become even bigger. But most of those people now have some awareness of what he's been up to over the past year.
Rekieta has claimed that his "restructuring" aka "pulling up" has improved his metrics but if they have improved, I haven't seen any improvement posted in the thread.
