Kyle is retiring soon. My thoughts on the future of nelk [serious]

I think Kyle is freaking out behind the scenes and I don’t blame him. He knows that he’s getting older. He knows that current nelk won’t last

That’s where happy dad, the fullsend podcast, and fullsend merch come in. Happy dad is Kyle’s retirement baby. Kyle’s goal seems to make happy dad the next white claw or whatever. It’s smart.

He gets a bunch of corporate dudes like John shahidi to invest into NELK/ fullsend as a whole. They see the influence nelk has over their fanbase and take advantage of it

John shahidi and Sam shahidi are co-owners of nelk, the fullsend merch line, the fullsend podcast and CEOs of happy dad.

side note.. what the fuck

To piggy back off what I said, same goes for the fullsend merch line. Kyle even said it in an older fullsend podcast about wanting merch to sell without them making videos but as a clothing line.

BUT I think Kyle realized that it’s not that simple and sales will go down drastically without them making videos/ being active on social media

Kyle’s newest plan is the fullsend podcast. He sees longevity in it. Bob is there for a reason. Kyle uses him for guests and to put their name out to a larger audience. Kyle sees the fullsend podcast as his way to continue being active in nelk after he retires from videos.

MARK MY FUCKING WORDS on this next sentence

Kyle is retiring from YouTube sooner than you think.

Kyle sees Salim as the future (unfortunately)

I’m sure his goal is for Salim to overtake and continue nelk with new members as he retires.

This is why Kyle brought on jimmy gambles. He wanted to help his friend and saw potential in his β€œpersonality”

Well.. that turned out to be a failure but you get my point

The success with Salim has lasted a while and it’s undeniable.

nelk commercially have been doing very well over the past two years, but even Kyle himself knows, it’s not forever.

Look at the cruise ship video.. younger fans are catching on. These new guys are whack tryhards that shouldn’t be in nelk

It’s really unfortunate. Nelk was never going to last forever, as people get older and times change but the way they have been going about it...

selling out to corporate guys like shahidi, creating their own NFT...stupid cashgrabs like sendclub or the fullsend membership bullshit, actively censoring their real fans, inviting just bad insufferable nuisances like Salim and gambles on the team

To end this, I don’t think nelk on YouTube is lasting more than five more years (at least with Kyle on the t

John Shahidi / Nelk most definitely involved in PrivateBet ownership

Just saw new CoffeeZilla video and the PrivateBets segment. I don't want to sound like the fake whistleblower, but I briefly knew the Shahidi brothers many years ago through mutual acquaintances.

Basically, John & Sam tried to get into casino game biz long time ago, which is why they own @blackjack and similar social media handles. John/Sam own Shots Studios, who manage Nelk. Sam is Happy Dad CEO.

Background:

John/Sam used to own RockLive, and they made iPhone games... They had a couple popular games made for Christiano Ronaldo and Usain Bolt..

Then they stopped making games to focus on "Shots" app, which was a Instagram competitor. Justin Bieber invested in it.

Then they stopped that to just manage social media personalities, which is how they met Nelk and now manage full send/happy dad. ➑️ https://shots.com/

Their old business website RockLive fowards to Shots.. ➑️ http://rocklive.com/

Casino games

Before they stopped making games and moved on to the Shots app, they briefly tried to make casino type games. Blackjack being the primary one, but Im pretty sure they tried a couple others.

You can't find any info about these casino games on Shot Studios or John Shahidi Wikipedia so you know I knew about this way back then.. For some reason they still have a old Facebook page up for the blackjack game.

https://facebook.com/PlayBlackjackNow/

On the Facebook page you can see the company info leads to @blackjack on Twitter, and RockLive.com which forwards to their current company Shots. And here's an old tweet by Floyd Mayweather promoting it (he invested in rocklive)

In conclusion

The Nelk dude saying they don't own or have any connection to PrivateBets is likely a lie. It seems that John Shahidi / Shots owns all the social media assets that PrivateBets is using (since 2011/2012)

And since the Nelk guys got "screwed over" with the previous casino partnerships, I'm

Dropped my best ever dad joke & no one was around to hear it

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

These aren't dad jokes...

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
