My prediction is that we'll see a tiny surge in work from him once he's back from his latest mental health break (ironically, all these breaks and he's still sick in the head).
For someone who butters his bread on being the only paid FT “activist”, this long of a disappearance is the last thing he needs. It’s not just exJW content that has worn him out, otherwise he’d have already done the long promised video infiltrating the Hare Krishna compound.
He doesn’t want to work. He wants to live the life of the idle rich and that had long been his plan with the exJW gig scam. I’m certain his financial demands on the Magnificent Seven reflect in no small way what he feels was lost.
One of the things that stood out to me on the Andrew Gold interview after “dating a sex worker” was his stated goal of retiring to an island retreat, write books at his leisure, and have a boat to go fishing. This wasn’t just an off-the-cuff comment - he qualified for a Croatian boating licence on one of his many Instagram pics from the coast.
This dream is over and he’s struggling with the aftermath. He never wanted a part of this scene if he couldn’t dominate it. So he’s hit a brick wall with what his short and long term goals are and how he will accomplish it. Early retirement is out of the question and that has to sting since he was well on his way towards it.
He’ll make a big deal about his return, complete with a saccharine video about what his big plans for the channel will be. He did take photos with the cart witnesses, so look for something to do with that but my guess is he’s having difficulties making that into a video due to his laziness and disinterest in the subject.
Meanwhile, people who aren’t paid for this have been flooding the ether with exJW content. His argument that he needs to be compensated enough to live on is hanging by a thread if not completely severed already.
