In addition to searching for new ways to get paid via YT & Patreon, Jabba the Hutt is still whining about not getting paid for being a Core Participant at IICSA.

Umm, it’s a non-profit statutory inquiry for England and Wales, and he thinks he needs to be paid for presenting evidence? Does he know how these things work or did he not think that far ahead and only wants all of his recommendations to be implemented and also to be compensated?

It’s right there in plain English. This is a business for Lloyd Evans and he expects to be paid for every effort he makes. You donate to him, you are funding a business in Croatia called Ipsilon Media, which listed assets totaling $160,000 USD last year.

Lloyd you can change. Show us you can please!

I don't think there is any evidence that points to this happening.

Gets caught in Texas - Blames Dijana for sexual incompatibilities

Gets caught in Thailand - Blames Kim for blowing the whistle

Does the livestream - Blames exJWs for "forcing" him into telling everyone what he does with his "dick"

Goes on Andrew Gold and backfires when he interviews Kim - All the fault of exJWs who were in the chat asking him to interview Kim

Patrons in freefall - Sends out threat letters to 12 exJWs, eventually "criminally" suing 7 of them for doing nothing more than reporting on what was going on, what he said, and giving their opinion on it.

Getting interviews cancelled, refused or deleted (CultstoCon) - Blames JWN and "anonymous accounts" for this thread going on for so long

Lawsuit is failing in Croatian court - Promises to spend the rest of his life "to his dying breath" chasing Kim and others down, even travelling to Australia to file with the court.

Notice any pattern? The only thing he ever blames himself for is cheating on his wife, but this is only after humiliating her and saying she was sexually incompatible with him. He has and will not take any responsibility for the mess he finds himself in.

People who can change do not promise to chase others round the world for the rest of both theirs and his adult life with bs legal cases. Put yourself in Kim's shoes. You are named in a "criminal" court case, he's always gloating about how he's going to get his revenge on you in the courts and in the court of public opinion, and now he's promising to go all the way into the year 2062 to exact vengeance upon you.

Let's ask Kim, she knew him personally and professionally - Do you think Lloyd can change?

Any change he is capable of would first need to be a complete repudiation of his legal threats and lawsuits. He filed last on 14 November 2022. Not looking good.

It's been almost a year now. He's not changing.

He was taking credit for all this transcripts

To be fair, the tweet you posted was from September 2022. Kim was speaking about last year's (2021) convention when she still worked for him and had firsthand knowledge. She wouldn't be able to tell you who transcribed this year's convention.

LLoyd sees himself as having sufficient celebrity status that all of his actions are currency.

That's precisely what he sees of himself. When he was here, it was all about "my time" and how him graciously posting on this forum was keeping him up late and negatively affecting the time he got to spend with his wife.

Take this thread for example:

2011 Global Survey of Jehovah's Witnesses (page 4) (jehovahs-witness.com)

For context, this was the one where he claimed he spent $400 on a surveymonkey subscription and then came back with his PayPal info for people to reimburse him. He really did think he was doing a "service" to this forum and exJWs in general by spending his time posting here because he was so intelligent:

A very mature lady who is well known to this forum said some nice things to me very recently. She said she was glad I had joined the forum because I brought "intelligence" to it, a quality that was lacking. Until now I didn't really understand what she meant, but whilst I don't consider myself the most intelligent of people, I now understand where she's coming from.

Later in the same thread he stated this forum wasn't worth his time and he would be limiting his time here. A promise he would break repeatedly as he was a fairly active poster for a couple years after that.

Every "AposDate with Lloyd Evans" was subtly marketed with the underlying theme that Lloyd was a busy man, but since people were so interested in him and his family, he was graciously extending the opportunity for people to meet him and become encouraged in life. Everyone who had a channel to promote or was trying to get into exJW activism he was doing a big favour for them by tweeting something or having them on his channel.

As Kim related, a common refrain from him was that he was so "busy". He's an extremely self-important man and a legend in his own mind. He stated the events of this year were by far the most hurtful for him, even more so than the death of his mother.

I believe he's telling the truth. It was soul crushing for him to be rejected by so many and have most of his supporters not only desert him, but openly call him out for criticism and ridicule. He had it all. He was the Godfather of exJW activism, and he could stop anything he didn't want happening and confine it to the fringes by a simple tweet. You couldn't avoid him.

He has lost all of that and the truth that he caused all of this himself by an embarrassing sex scandal is too great of a burden for him to bear. In the 5 stages of grief, he's somewhere in between denial and anger. He's denying that he's finished and will soon bounce back, and he's manifesting his anger by making threats and following through with a doomed lawsuit. He won't go through any of the other stages of grief because his ego is too huge to do so.

He eventually let his mum go and moved into the "Acceptance" stage. He won't ever let any of this go, he won't accept any of his new reality, and that's why it's substantially worse for him.

He did say his videos would always be free and technically speaking, they are. But it is hugely implied that if you enjoy his videos, you should support the work.

Hmmm sounds like the literature arrangement made many years ago when a certain religious organisation was put on notice they would be taxed if they sold literature. My dad was a "ghost-donator", going to the box and folding the low denomination bills so they couldn't be identified.

What I see is a "Band-Aid" style fix for a much bigger problem. You mean to tell me Live-Aid did not solve poverty and famine in Africa!?! Bob Geldof actually got Phil Collins to fly on the Concorde from London to Philadelphia so he could play with the reformed Led Zeppelin after his set in London ended. He didn't know the parts and was ill-suited to fill-in for a drummer like John Bonham.

Lloyd is a poor man's Geldof, a total cunt with these grand ideas that failed to address the root problem. He'd meet all these Third World leaders and then spend the night in the local Hilton. Lloyd still can't bring himself to apologise, and it's too late for that anyway. So, he's adding these silly perks like a GB member emoji as if we're all kids who need our toys. He doesn't want to re-tool his content and vision, so you're going to see a lot more of these dimestore gimmicks as his Patrons drip away.

His other problem is that he doesn't do anything special anymore

Absolutely. When he left this forum he was a very polarising figure somewhat like he is today. Kind of a whiny little bitch who made quality videos. His wife was a huge mystery and it was clear she didn’t want to go public as he did.

Then their first child was born and his family man myth was born. There was a virtual baby shower and they had a tonne of gifts, both baby supplies and money sent to them from all over the world. He quickly picked up on this and started bringing his wife and child along with him for no real reason other than it made people more interested in him and his work. He also was quick to use them as a shield when things like the COC copyright scandal came to light. “You have no idea how much this is upsetting my wife! I may have to quit activism if this abuse doesn’t stop!”

Like the true dumbfuck that he is, he set his biggest asset on fire, borne out of a puerile middle aged tantrum based on the fact that his only sexual experiences outside of his wife involved an exchange of money. The “Dijana In Her Own Words” and the handful of other videos she appeared in all had impressive stats. He shit all over that and was counting on his wife to do what she had always done and STFU.

Look at what remains. A man in his 40s with no job prospects outside his Patreon business model with an estranged wife he publicly humiliated and two girls who live without their father because of his actions. He’s become a pitiful figure and it’s now a charitable act on your part to publicly meet with him and allow him to post selfies.

Are his current patreons notified of the increase in monthly pledges and are they given the opportunity to opt out prior to being charged for the next instalment

Unless I am reading this wrong the tiers are mostly the same, $1, $5, $10, $25 a month, with the new $50 a month one added. He just changed the names. I would imagine if you were pledging $1 before, it would just transfer into the new $1 tier.

If Patreon defaults you into a new tier that costs more, that’s an unsavory business practice to say the least.

I think the big news here is he’s creating a top $50 tier and trying to entice current Patrons to subscribe to that. He’s largely thrown in the towel on getting any significant Patrons back and is trying to maneuver his current supporters into paying more.

It wouldn’t surprise me in the least that another filing in his lawsuit will occur soon. They tend to immediately follow news like this. This is also the time of year he goes on holiday and with this last Patron drop he’s panicking about his business model.

Enjoy the winter in Zagreb, Lloyd. Keep up on inviting Instagram models out for coffee. An overweight 43 year old man with a Muppet nose who’s also still married with two kids to support on a shrinking salary has to stand a chance, right?

Yes and this appears so rushly bad planned and wrongly designed.

Amazing what a -25 patron drop with no bounce back and the best thread in the history of a 25 year old forum can do to you.

He's not escaping the Titanic. He's still on it, insisting that it is not sinking and trying to convince passengers that there is no need to panic and that they all should go back to their rooms. Supper will be served, he has great plans for the ship so purchase your "Captain's Ball" tickets now, and everyone will be eating their words when it pulls into New York harbour as scheduled.

When you're bleeding Patrons every month, the last thing you want to do is add a tier double that of the previous high. Maybe a handful of $25 a month people fall for it, but the optics are bad for possibly $100-$200 more a month. He already has a well-earned reputation for being highly concerned with how much he is paid, and this doesn't help that. When he says he is "improving engagement" and making it more "sustainable", and the only obvious thing he did was make a newer and expensive tier, it only explains the "sustainability" part. He's trying to do more with less Patrons. He's finally understanding that he's not getting these Patrons back and he needs to guilt his remaining supporters into giving more.

He's the ship's purser on the Titanic. As the ship is listing badly and taking on water, Lloyd's knocking on the doors of steerage passengers and trying to upgrade them to the newly vacated state rooms.
