content was sparse, repetitive and dull
That's one reason why any threat to shut down his work now is pointless. What difference would it make? Everyone else is reporting on current news, commenting on things like beardgate, etc. It seems like there's even more exJWs speaking out than ever before, even if they're not on top of news and protests etc. There's more quanity and quality elsewhere so would anyone even notice if he was gone?
Especially true for new ones out, like I said before. They weren't around when he was on Remini's show and actually churning out work (such as it was) and making noise. New he's just another background player. So yeah he might beg and get another little surge but I'd bet it won't be as much and won't take as long to correct and lose those gains. He's now in a bubble-and-burst stage except the bubble is smaller and smaller each time IMHO.
