If you're going to produce videos, you should angle the camera so that you don't have a huge dent in the frame every time. Or take some of that fancy equipment budget and patch it up. But either way, it's hugely distracting, like having a sink full of dirty dishes behind you.

Big dent on the wall and no wedding ring. Also, still ugly.

I bring up his subs vs. views because we all know he's all about numbers, as if those prove anything (like with his patrons, how many have left vs. stayed). So the next time he crows about still having 104,000+ subscribers it can be pointed out that his views are nowhere near that number, more like 5500 to 6000 or so on average.

It's embarrassing to read Lloyd's IMDB page, with him touting his long-winded YouTube videos as if they're real documentaries and he's a legitimate filmmaker. It's so obvious that he wants to be a big shot, Michael Moore meets Steve Hassan meets Richard Dawkins meets Socrates, etc.
Now look at him, scrounging around with a pathetic few hundred patrons, a few thousand views on his current videos, and a few dozen engagements on twitter. Can't get a foot in the door with environmentalists, Mormons, atheists, or anyone else.
And it's all still going downhill, not gaining traction. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

I just skimmed his YouTube and it seems his video views hover around the 6,000 mark, more or less. Some about 4000-5000 but just a handful reach anywhere close to 9000 or more.
Does that seem off to anyone, given his 104,000 subscribers? Not even 6% of his subscribers actually watch his stuff, if my math isn't mistaken?

Here's a link to O'Donnell's statement:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15iF9bxY1VPo8VU0inDqXV4Nc5Jv6n-jt/view
I strongly denounce the use of any finances for purposes that create a notable conflict of interest for any reporter covering the sensitive topic of child sexual abuse.
In my opinion, the links between sex work and the grooming of children, child abuse, violent crime, drugs, and other unlawful activities call into question the credibility of anyone reporting on the subject of child abuse. While it is not my business to judge the personal lives of other reporters, I must take on board the feelings and sensitivities of the general public, including those affected by these activities.
As a reporter and consultant for child sexual abuse cases in the United States and worldwide, I am obligated to adhere to a reasonable code of conduct that mirrors the gravity and substance of this subject matter. I am also sensitive to the feelings of survivors of abuse who trust my integrity and work. Many of those survivors have conservative values and ethics, and I respect their positions.So, he strongly denounces the use of funds for anything that creates a conflict, not using funds to take advantage of the human sex trafficking industry.
The links between sex work and grooming children, etc., call into Lloyd's credibility as a reporter. It doesn't make Lloyd a walking piece of human garbage for ignoring that link and using those victims anyway.
He doesn't want to judge (which I read as still wanting to stay in Lloyd's good graces) but doesn't want anyone to think poorly of him either. He's denouncing Lloyd because of other people's sensitivities, not because Lloyd 1) cheated on his wife, 2) crapped all over his wife publicly, 3) repeatedly took advantage of the most horrific industry on the planet, and 4) made pathetic excuses for why he's entitled to do all those things.
In other words, he's not coming out and condemning Lloyd for being a POS but he has to say something so that he doesn't lose his place in the ex JW community.
IMHO he's just a hypocritical, pathetic POS who doesn't really care about victims, only his so-called status.
Perhaps they are both leaving it open whether they can work together again in future, if and when the scandal blows over.
I also found it odd that Lloyd never came out against Mark, although they both stopped following each other on Twitter (and we know in their tiny world that's the equivalent of giving each other the finger). That website of Mark's also hasn't been updated in months so I wonder if he's burning out as well. What a mess.

"...in recognition of my recent film about child abuse."
"Film"? That "film" is just a 90-minute YouTube video with only 94K views (I just checked). He honestly sees himself as some kind of Michael Moore/Hollywood talent. Sheesh.

Look at the absolute path of destruction created by one miserable fat ass and his micro cult. IMHO ex JW's don't need to all work together like one big happy family or professional corporation but think of how much could have been accomplished by so many people at this point if it weren't for him ripping everything to shreds. If anyone has been a "regressive activist" it's definitely him.

I have to say this about O'Donnell... no sympathy for him either. He's seen firsthand everything Lloyd has done over the years... the bullying, the tantrums, the CoC debacle, the whole "aggressive regressive activist" name calling... Whatever you want to add to the list of what a POS Lloyd has been over the years, O'Donnell saw it all and kept working with him.
IMHO O'Donnell ignored it because it worked for him. Lloyd could scare off everyone and Mark could lap up the leftovers, riding the neck beard's coattails so he could hobnob with people at the London conference, be on Lloyd's videos, whatever. Act like he was a bigshot. Other people have called Lloyd's shit out over the years and paid a price for it but O'Donnell has been too much of a pussy or just too selfish to take a stand, so I have no sympathy. Support from people like him are part of what enables Lloyd to keep up his BS.
Plus I remember Mark gave the Australian activists some shit over some public documents they had shared and O'Donnell did all this chest thumping about how he always redacts certain information, he's so sympathetic to the victims, etc. Just like Lloyd, he's always come across like he's the only "real" activist and adult in the room and everyone else is just a stupid, bumbling child.
Yeah he's done some good work but that's what people say about Lloyd when overlooking his shit. O'Donnell didn't necessarily need to say anything publicly but to keep working with that fat ass after all his bad behavior makes him an accessory in my eyes. Just my opinion of course.
