He's almost back where he was when he began, only now he has the baggage of his own actions and attitude weighing him down. It looks like a long and very rough road ahead for him.
He’s weathered the worst of this it seems and it would appear he’s hovering round the 440 - 450 patron level. If he were smart he would drop all this litigation nonsense and not say another word about it, especially when it is thrown out. But he’s easily baited and won’t be able to resist getting a counter word in whilst others are making fun of him for being such a moron spending money on that.
But it’s not a problem that’s going away either due to the definitive statements he’s made about the legal process and how sure he was of victory.
The new Patrons joining has also slowed and this is indicative of his content suffering. Part of the appeal of his channel in the past was that it seemed to be ground zero of whatever was happening in the community. He had Mark O’Donnell reporting back to him first hand accounts of CSA cases in litigation. He had people like Kim Silvio and PB keeping his ship steady and on course. He had Javier Ortiz and his updates on the TTATT documentary Lloyd was essentially the star of. He had all these Bethel leaks and guests on his show with their own followings.
Now it’s all gone and Tibor is his only counterpart. This is a problem for him going forward, possibly even more so than his continuing image problem. In many ways he’s like WT now. He’s touched just about every subject possible and done videos about them. It’s stagnant right now and his insistence on getting a dedicated studio is probably his way of improving the production quality as a way to offset the decreased content quality. Again, this focus on high production quality over actual changes in content is what is plaguing WT right now and he’s falling into the same repeating cycle.
The sharp decreases in Patrons have mellowed a bit but he’s not making up the ground in new ones.
