By the way Only 3 day left now until Jan 2 2024 ...
Hopefully some people's new year's resolutions will include taking a closer look at their finances and cutitng anything unnecessary... like sending money to a lazy slob who hasn't lived up to his patreon promises in how many months now?

He's literally advocated for considering the Watchtower just as any other "religion", making videos begging "nooo don't ban them nooo"
That's because he's always seen himself as being both morally and intellectually superior to everyone, acting as if he's taking the high ground while all us immature little children haven't really thought things through. He probably also thought Watchtower would listen to his reasoning, change their rules and beliefs based on his recommendations, and then look to him with admiring gratitude for making them understand the best way to live. "Oh thank you Lloyd for coming along and saving us from ourselves..."
And as it turns out, he's the one cheating on his wife with prostitutes of all things, the fucking hypocrite.

Here's something else the dumbass didn't consider. YouTube doesn't pay you a consistent rate for ads throughout the year. The amount that advertisers pay for ad space fluctuates according to shopping season. November and December have the highest cost per thousand, meaning the highest price companies will pay, as they're competing for ad space during the Christmas shopping season.
So he put out absolute crap, nine whole videos, during his peak YT earning season. Gee, with business sense like that, I'm sure he'll be fine financially in the upcoming years and months.

What also pisses me off is that so much good could have been done with a widely known platform. The only good thing I'll say about Lloyd (and yes I'm throwing up in my mouth as I do this) is that he did know how to hunt down other people for added exposure.
So if he wasn't such a dill hole and actually supported other exJWs, imagine what could have been accomplished. Maybe if he listened to other people's input about his shitty book, it would have gotten a wider audience rathan than screaming "self published, unedited claptrap" from page one. If he didn't demand you live up to certain self-serving standards with your story, he could have gotten lots more in print or on his channel. He could have hunted down contacts and then gotten other people interviewed rather than always hogging the spotlight.
But his fat ass, Bowen, Richard Kelly, all the rest are impossible to work with so instead of moving things forward, he's now the most "regressive" activist in the bunch and has just scared off more people than helped. Fucking useless overly wet bag of cement, I hope he chokes on a chicken bone.

I keep thinking it was September when he did his begging "Things Are Bad" video but now I realize it was earlier this year, April or something. Whatever the case, it is funny to see him right back to where he started despite his begging and crying... not only right back to the same number of supporters, but going backwards and not forward, losing his help making videos, no Twitter platform, YT views down, etc.
Plus he's not living in the in-laws basement or attic, whatever rent he was or wasn't paying I'm sure it wasn't market value. He also pays a cleaning person because he's not gonna scrub his own toilets or floors, that's for the sisters to do. I hope Dijana hits him up for support for her and the girls and without them around, I can only imagine how often he's visiting, sorry dating, prostitutes. Hopefully one day he'll get caught up in a sting and we'll have his mugshot to frame and hang on the shelf.

Early November he was at 427 patrons so he's still losing 20+ every month.
His YouTube views are still rubbish, his beard one got 38K but the rest are languishing at 7-8K average. Without huge bombshells from WT, he'll struggle to find things to talk about and people to interview.
I imagine he might be earning a few dollars from his "comedy" and "singing" gigs but not a lot, considering the size of the venue and his "talent." He's probalby thinking he'll turn that into some new career or business opportunity but we know that will fall flat.
Happy 2024 Lloyd!

Here's another YouTuber, around for a year, 100 videos, fewer than 6K subscribers, and is getting close to Lloyd's view numbers:

He's so goddamn irrelevant at this point.

My two cents... framing everything around his apostasy makes him sound like the brave little soldier going against the big bad dragon of WT. "Oh, WT was so afraid of me blowing the lid off their secrets, they were quaking in their boots at what I might do..." He's played that same card over the years repeatedly... remember when the Charity Commission was investigating and he posted something about how he called them and was telling them to do their job or he'd go to the media or some drivel. In reality, they had to do their job according to certain regulations, they can't go riding in guns blazing. But he acted like they were so pathetic and he was this big shot threat to their work.
Same with COC. He was this innocent, brave soldier, trying so hard to get this cure for cancer out there, not a greedy SOB who wanted to make money off something so important.
Framing his JC around him being in trouble for sexting girl (underage or not) doesn't do anything. There's no glory in that. He's just another pervert who doesn't give two shits about his wife and can't control his dick.
So I think that by not recording it, he can twist the entire subject however he wants. He's a brave apostate whose conscience wouldn't let him overlook WT's sins, not the stupid pervert who was DF'd for his own sins.

Not to mention Lloyd's age and that he's been out forever by this point. He's not a 20-year-old dude who just got DF'd last year and might still be stinging from the elder's rebuke over daring to touch himself and who's fumbling around trying to figure out life and that great big world he just set foot in. He's had plenty of time to work out whatever minor wrinkles WT might have put in his head about the entire subject.
Everything now is on him, period. He's making the choice to go down a self-absorbed, self-indulgent, abusive sexual road, ignoring the disgusting nature of human trafficking in favor of him getting whatever he wants, however he demands it.

I call bullshit on WT tampering with his sexuality, at least to the degree he makes it out to be. WT rains down terror on gay people and goes on about how it's unnatural and disgusting to Jehovah and whatever other dribble comes out of their useless mouths, so I could buy that argument from a gay or bi person.
Yes, WT is overly restrictive when it comes to masturbation and put a lot of guilt into people for it. Okay, I'll concede that point.
But, WT has never told anyone that sex itself is bad or disgusting or that you should be ashamed of being sexual in of itself.
In fact, WT has repeatedly blamed women for their husband's infidelities. If anything, WT has taken Lloyd's side when he blames Dijana for their married sex life not living up to his fantasies or demands or desires or whatever the fuck goes on in his twisted brain.
So yeah, WT is overly restrictive and might make people feel bad for certain things, but Lloyd acts like they practically cut off his willy and buried it in the backyard.
IMHO they "tampered" with his sexuality the way you might tamper with someone's car by slashing a tire. Sucks, needs some attention, can ruin a day, sure, but most people would address it and move the fuck on. Instead, he's using that slashed tire from a decade ago to excuse shitty driving today.
Add to that what I'm guessing is not a healthy sexual appetite. If he was healthy about sex, he wouldn't hire prostitutes; he'd have affairs with willing adults. Instead, everything needs to go his way. If you don't accommodate his every demand, he has a tantrum. He knows damn well most women outside the JW religion aren't gonna go for that, especially not with the ugly face and pudgy body he's bringing to the table. So, he avoids having to give one flying shit about the other person by hiring prostitutes.
That has nothing to do with WT or even his sexuality. That has everything to do with a selfish, narcissistic pig who thinks the universe revolves around him (not that he doesn't have the gravitational pull) and there's no such thing as adjusting HIS thinking. He's not selfish and self-centered and toxic and a greedy spoiled baby. No, the watchtower tampered with his one tire twenty years ago.
