This thread reminded me of a video Leo made awhile back and in it he mentions Nick and says that he must be up to something shady to be getting the amount of views he was getting.
At the time I didn’t think the comment through much, but I actually think he was right about Nick using spam tactics to expand his reach.
It’s actually a good way to get your foot in the door to create an online presence, but the greedy fools never adapt and become actual professionals in time.
Trading is similar to online success IMO as starting hot with a little bit of luck with trading is fine if you have the IQ/EQ for it longterm to learn and adapt.
Someone with shit for brains like Mr Mensa will inevitably fail in these sorts of ventures.
I recall Nick saying that the RX Muscle YouTube channel was basically “dead”.
That comment caught me by surprise. Then his false confidence about his own success was jumping out in each subsequent video.
One thing that I noticed. Nick was not attending any of the top shows in person. He would just watch the Arnold Classic or Mr Olympia online like the rest of us. He wasn’t attending any bodybuilding events. But that would not stop him from criticizing the judges, the emcees, or complaining about placings.
If a person says that they are a bodybuilding “expert” but they do not attend at least 1 contest per year, they are a fraud.
Another thing that I noticed; No athletes were interviewed directly by Nick. Nick would just analyze interviews from other channels, and make videos by “borrowing” their video clips. He had no original content.
