I’m still amazed people were taken in by his begging video.
People respond best to emotional stimuli. This is why on commercials for animal charities sad and seemingly neglected pets are shown for the camera. Lloyd put himself, Dijana and Tibor front and centre as people not only who are about to stop making “life saving content”, but will be out of work. He even said at one point he might dissolve the company which was pure unadulterated bullshit.
Now imagine if he had a project he wanted funded like a book or a documentary he wanted to film abroad. He’s clearing $1000, maybe. But he threatens to leave and his viewers are panicking. This was by design. Most of these people don’t know any better and took him at his word. Yet more victims of his deceit.
Lloyd went the pity route. It works as long as the audience still pities him. But he couldn’t help himself and went on Kim’s comments yesterday and started taunting her.
He wants the nearly 900 patrons back, not just the 620. His pity party is running out long before he gets near to that, thus the reason he reminded Kim today he was still coming for her. Childish, stupid, and counter-productive to his cause, but vintage Lloyd.
He’s seriously mentally ill and a danger round anyone near him, especially towards people he thinks defamed him. He’s also at his worst when he feels he’s on top of the world, as he is feeling now.
We’re in new territory now. He’s still very much a wounded animal, but this time he thinks he has all the momentum.
In other words, he’s about to do something really reckless and stupid.
