You say he’s finished but I don’t see that at all. His Patreon is still at a level that can sustain him and one or two employees for the foreseeable future.
You say he can never cover abuse stories again but I don’t see that either. He is just biding his time and building back slowly. I am sure he plans to get O’Donnell and others back on board at some point. He went to the meeting in the UK parliament about the commission on abuse and made a video about it. He has no intention of leaving it alone.
The major problem for LE as I see it is that he now hates the subject of JWs and he is lazy. But he wants the money, so what can he do? Gradually rebuild his band of volunteers to do the work for him and keep as much of the Patreon money for himself as possible. He has an ongoing internal battle between greed and boredom, which may ultimately be determined by whether or not he is able to co-opt others to do the work for him.
People’s interest in the topic comes and goes and that’s okay, but the drama is far from over.
I think he is always going to have members of the exJW community have a go at him, rightly so, for the whole sex scandal thing and thus his content will never grow. I forsee exactly as you say, boredom and he will move on.
His attitude to what he did is now captured permanently on the internet and therefore content creation will become impossible to sustain him long term.
I think the "drama" is over because nothing will happen bar he will be tarnished with that brush of using sex workers whilst advocating against CSA and that's it.
