Does that seem off to anyone, given his 104,000 subscribers?
Not at all. Not when you factor in how many exiting JWs cycled in and then out of the exJW community in the past 10 years. It’s not for everyone to put it mildly. For example, say someone woke up in 2015 and subscribed to Jabba the Hutt on YouTube. Then in 2017 started to tire of the scene, fading completely by 2018.
What I am saying is people either fading from the community or just not listening to Jabba like they used to aren’t going to go back and unsubscribe.
There’s a lot of inactive subscribers and even abandoned YT accounts. I’d say his active to semi-active viewer base is more like 10K, not over 100K.
In the last 10 years I’ve left the community at least a couple times, and when I did return it was due to a friend alerting me to something or someone new. I was out when Tony Morris was filmed buying the booze, and even when it was explained to me, so what? It’s no secret the GB were big drinkers of expensive liquor. This was the case with Rutherford and Knorr.
All I saw was a sad old man buying a shit tonne of expensive Scotch.
Imagine the huge nothingburger it would have been if Kim’s big secret was Lloyd buying 10 bottles of McAllen? Now that’s a victimless crime, the only victim being the self destructive nature of drinking yourself silly.
“Bottlegate” alone probably netted him 15K-20K subs, most of whom have since moved on. The Leah Remini appearance netted him even more than that, some of whom weren’t even JWs, saw him on TV, casually subbed and briefly checked his content out. Most don’t hit “Unsubscribe” on the way out.
