he can’t keep going back to the well of threatening to pack up his toys and go home.
Unfortunately, I suspect he can, because it’s new people he’s sucking in. He’ll probably pull a stunt like this every few months each time his support dips. When the dust settles, however, he’s still 300 patrons down from his livestream, and nobody credible will work with him. And now he’s still on the hook to produce his pointless videos. The euphoria in his bedsit will quickly subside.
Those people who do agree to interviews with him, mainly smaller vendors, to promote their own books or channels or whatever, bear some responsibility for keeping him going. They are free to do what they like of course, that’s their choice. I am also free to have complete disdain for their choice and nothing to do with their products. They might get a short term boost but they harm their own credibility.
