I'm curious... Is it possible that the 'loss' of patreons is that credit cards have expired and it takes a day or so for the cardholder/patron to provide updated credit card details?
This could explain the significant drop-off at month end and then an up-tick during the first few days of the new month.
I think I had mentioned this before, that's exactly what happens. Patreon bills on either the last day or first day of the month. Anyone who has payment issues for any reason (credit card expired, etc.) drops off the count that day.
However, Patreon sends them a reminder asking them to "re-up" their pledge or fix the issue. So, a few might do just that, and they then get added back to that count.
He's actually lost one more yesterday or today, he's at 503 right now.

Someone just posted this in the Choosing Beggars subreddit. Pay them for the privilege of doing all the work for thier book. Does this sound familiar at all?
Edited to upload bigger pictures...

@Jeff Thank you! I'm not always good with these forums so I appreciate the help. About to read it through now.
Happy 4th to all the Americans BTW.

@Kim
She says thanks! And wanted to remind everyone that as long as it's going down, we're happy. What I wouldn't give to see him crapping bricks right now... not literally of course...

Take a look at Pontoon's thread about the decline he's noticed in the WTBS.
Can someone share a link for that? I tried searching this site but am obviously doing something wrong...

Inna is totally cool with it... she always hated the way that prick treated Louise espeically over the podcast so anything to kick him in the nuts about that, she's on board lol.
Yes, definitely let's do this again in a month's time.

30+ gone after everything that has happened the past few months?
This is no doubt part of the problem... he said nothing about that woman in the UK who was on TV about her JW childhood, he put up his video about Tony Morris's leaked talk later than everyone else and had nothing to really say, and his convention videos are just dull.
Even the Youtube thumbnails are stupid and irritating to look at. (So we can add "graphic designer" to the list of things he can't do.)
Other people are doing it better than him, I've noticed a lot of youtubers are way more professional in their approach, and they don't have the stench of drunken admissions to using prostitutes clinging to them everywhere they go.
As proof, JW Thoughts video on Tony got 35K views, Lloyd's is stagnant at 11K. JW Thoughts video on that anger management drama, 16K views. Lloyd's, less than 3K.
He might pick up a few more patrons this month but I doubt he'll go higher than 507 by end of July.

Also interesting that he was at 387 at his lowest and is now at 502. That's just 115 more overall. At this rate he'll be back in the high 300s in 5-6 months and then what?
He had his chance to really go into overdrive with the renewed support, but he got cocky and squandered all that goodwill.
That's excactly it. He had nothing new to offer, I watched a few other Youtubers about the Tony Morris leaked video and they did better than him, at least they didn't ramble on and repeat the same thing six times. No disrespect to any ex-cult member but no one knows those people he's interviewing now, fat chance he'll get anyone of merit or interest any more. Pretty sure he peaked at Leah Remini.
But, instead of putting his brain into how to revive the channel and give it new lilfe, he kept being lazy and wrote a shitty song about his atheism. Loser.
