DeleteLawz Jose “Chille” DeCastro’s Sunday night livestream confirmed one crushing thing to the former top dog of the First Amendment auditing world: if he builds it, they won’t come.
With a reported 109 viewers on YouTube and less than 60 on Twitter/X, his latest attempt to move away from his DeleteLawZ channel on Youtube can be deemed a complete and miserable failure.
Over two days of his planned change of scenery from YouTube to Twitter/X, he’s gained a grand total of 68 followers for the weekend. 52 for his stunt on Saturday and 16 for the aftermath on Sunday.
His latest tweet, as of press time (approximately 2:27AM ET) has had 255 views, 4 comments, 12 retweets and 21 likes on the Twitter/X platform in the six hours it’s been live. If he were monetized on the service, it’d take roughly another 1000 to 10,000 posts like this – with impressions from viewers with paid Twitter subscriptions – to earn close to a penny for his efforts.
Obviously, the Twitter/X move has failed. Much like the move to his First Amendment Auditor channel (409 total subscribers in three weeks), Patreon (53 members, 4 paid members in a month) and TeamDLZ.com (undetermined but bad enough that he’s posting the content everywhere else). His 623,000 subscribers from his main channel aren’t moving with him to his new home.
We’ll grant him the fact that his Sunday night stream was hampered by the fact that his fans couldn’t find his stream on Twitter/X, with numerous complaints that he didn’t set up a post on Twitter/X with the stream in it for his fans to find it to use the live chat.
Even DeCastro was confused by his viewership on Twitter/X, as his following “growing exponentially” was essentially just his YouTube subscribers watching on both platforms at once. It wasn’t drawing new paid viewers to the point where it would be feasible to monetize on Twitter/X.
DeCastro was much less amplified on Sunday’s livestream and ended Saturday night’s practice of pushing the envelope on YouTube as he did not show videos featuring killings or violent assaults by police like he did the night before.
The YouTuber apologized to his fans who are using his paid TeamDLZ.com site as he said he hasn’t released exclusive content in several days. Instead, he has been lying on the floor with his dog Charlie, who despite having a good Saturday, was again deathly ill and had to be forced to eat on Sunday.
YouTuber Craig Hendry was briefly mentioned by DeCastro. Hendry is set to go to trial on felony harassment charges in Indiana next week. DeCastro had previously said that there was a possibility that he’d make an appearance at the trial but could not commit fully for financial reasons.
The Sunday night stream has 358 views on Twitter/X compared to 2,228 views on his main YouTube channel.
DeCastro’s planned GoFundMe for the $10,000.00 he said he needed “immediately” or Charlie’s care still has not materialized. The market itself was flat for Sunday, with no new donations to the campaigns we follow.
