I think another factor people are not really mentioning is that these people in "lawtube" are probably fed up with Nick's audience too, as you can see in other clips posted above there isn't a single stream without someone in the chat "hey Nick is doing that" "Nick started his stream you should raid him" "Sorry I need to watch Nick" for a streamer shit like that is like someone insulting their mother.
Also as laughable as it is, these people try to be "serious" lawyers in the internet, and Rekieta offers the complete opposite, even the most loyal of his friends Good Lawgic gets visibly uncomfortable when he is trying to talk something serious with Nick and Nick suddenly drops a nasty sex joke.
As a last point, Nick always says he hates drama, that he keeps silent when something happens to avoid drama, but the reality is the complete opposite, he generates it, with Legal Bytes it was his and his panels comments the ones that actually created the drama (bunch of gay twitter posts too), his drunken streams with guests always end up in some kind of discussion or drama too, (just remember the big drama with uncivil law and megan fox), his retarded small drama with vtubers because of coomalot, and the biggest of all his over 100K retarded lawsuit with Montagraph (that is now creating more drama between "lawtube")
Basically these people thought they were being part of a new amazing trend of "serious lawyers reacts to", having Nick as the center because he already had some clout, just to realize their pope was just a degenerate clout chaser.
