It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars (continued) (page 71)

He can buy, giveaway, fudge his membership numbers all he wants... he did an interivew with an ExJW 2 days ago that's showing 3000 views. Inna posted a video this morning, "Dumbest Customer Interactions," and it's gotten 3000 views in less than 3 hours.

It's not just the subject matter (ok, more people want a laugh than to hear about child abuse) but there are ways of naming your video, what to put in the description, etc. that feeds the algorithms. He's apparently not doing any of that stuff. Too much hassle to actually research your own business and treat it like a business, I'm guessing.

Go on Lloyd, fill your boots 😂🤣

Las Malvinas son Argentinas

It does feel as though a corner in this whole sordid story has been turned.

What happened is he finally gave up on getting his old level of support (almost 900) back. He also doesn’t feel any connection with exJWs anymore, even though all 4 (3 of which were sushis that he said he would discontinue) and the livestream were all about JWs. Though he has long promised to move on from exJW content, he’s likely scared his support will drop even further as his viewers start skipping his videos if they are not about what they came for.

This is his “New Coke” moment. A new product no one asked for nor are they interested in. If people want generalized cult content, Scientology/Mormons/Hare Krishna etc., they will go to those creators.

I’m curious as to how and if he eases the new content in.

I hope so, I for one am getting bored and tired of the whole thing.

I got bored with him after the AAWA stuff and thought he’d just fade away. I faded for a few years, then friends tipped me off to this asshole who was causing drama.

He’s like herpes. But his actions in the past two years have really put a lid on how high he can go. Gone are the days he goes to Australia and people pay his way. I doubt he’ll even have a public meetup ever again.

I wonder if Lardo knew that people would still be able to see the number of paid patrons even after he opened it to free members. I'm betting he didn't realize that number would still show and he could go around bragging about how he picked up 100 new patrons overnight..

Haha! Yeah, the free tier is irrelevant really. Anyone can sign up for something they don't have to pay for - it happens all the time. The important thing is that the people who are actually funding his crap are still walking away from him. Despite him opening his free tier, his paid subscriber numbers continue to gradually fall - down to 439 as I post this on the night of 15-16 October. Each month he loses between 20-40 paid subscribers and only (re)gains around 10 or less.

I’m curious as to how and if he eases the new content in.

That's pretty much the only thing that's keeping me hanging on to watch this sorry soap opera of one man's ego crashing back to earth. To see how he makes the transition to this supposed 'new' Lloyd. I'm fortunate enough not to have been one of those targeted by his "criminal action" and other harassment, but I'm fascinated to see how far this loser will fall before he wakes up (if ever).

Will there be a redemption arc for him or will he go full-on batshit crazy and end up in a mental institution or prison? Or just become a sad, lonely old man sitting on a park bench somewhere ranting at passers-by?

LE: "I used to be a famous exJW, you know! I had hundreds of followers!"
Passerby 1: "Who are you, creep? Get away from me!"
Passerby 2:"Of course you did, grandad."
Passerby 3: "Whatever. Freak."
Etc...

I wonder if he can hide how many of the subs are free. If not, we will be able to watch as the number of free 'patrons' approaches (and surpasses) the number of paid supporters. Maybe that can be the next guessing game- when will the crossover point be?

I saw on NPR that in the trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, Caroline Ellison explained how they tried to recover frozen assets in China by, well... let's let NPR explain it:

In early 2021, a Chinese cryptocurrency exchange froze Alameda's trading account, and the firm lost access to approximately $1 billion in assets.

For months, Bankman-Fried tried to regain access to those assets through a variety of methods. Ellison testified how colleagues at Alameda set up accounts on the Chinese exchange tied to the identities of Thai prostitutes, hoping they could somehow use those accounts to siphon the money away from the frozen account.

Who knew that Thai prostitutes were so versatile? They can help losers try to unfreeze international assets, or dress up as maids to help losers with their tampered sexuality. The options seem endless!

Who knew that Thai prostitutes were so versatile?

Wow! Thanks to that NPR broadcast, you've hit on the next money-making option for Lloydy-Boy! He can try to get into cryptocurrency recovery, whilst still enjoying his trips to Thailand for, errr... scuba diving! 🤣

free 'patrons' approaches (and surpasses) the number of paid supporters.

Just for fun 😜 Let's say he loses , and I will be generous here, -20 Patrons for Nov. and Dec. 2023 so -40 Patrons of the 438 he has now ( Oct, 16 ) that would be 398 left. Then let's say that for the hole year of 2024 he loses -20 every month ( -240 Patrons) minus the 398 = 158 left ! 🤣

Wich bring us to 2025 , If we still take -20 Patrons each month , it would only take 6 month (6x20= 120 ) to surpasses the 100 bogus "fee" patrons he paid for ... and he would be left with only 38 paying patrons in july 2025 🤣

And please, don't bust my bubble , so no I doubt that number would get so low, there will always be some supporting him bla bla bla... Let me savour this for just a moment...Even with him losing 240 paying patrons in 2024 would be so funny... And again I was generous . We all know some month he loses more than -20 P.

So tic tic tic...Time is runnig out Mister Evans on freeloading on other people money to support your "hobbies"

His lowest was like 387 back in December so if his current trend keeps up, he'll be right back there in December of this year. His begging spike was in April so it's taken him all of six months to lose those gains. This is not a man on a path to success.

So I have a question, this is directed to Kim Silvio as you've had one on one contact with him.

Is it his ego that makes him utterly stupid, or is actually stupid?

The reason I ask is his new shenanigans with opening up he free tier so he (in his mind) can make people believe he's grown his numbers, does his ego believe that people will not sus that these people are free subscribers who don't receive anything at all?
