Omg, I always pronounced it niche. Then slowly over the years I’ve gaslit myself into believing it’s nitch because that’s all I ever hear

How else would you say it?

I’ve only heard /niʃ/

Do some people say /nit͡ʃ/ ?

Those people who pronounce it ‘nitch’? The word for that is WRONG. Those people deserve ridicule.

So what sound should we use instead of “ch”? What about “ch”?

English spelling is so silly
