  As someone stated in the video comments, he's probably drawing more attention to his actions from people --including supporters-- who may not have been aware of the scandal. He wants to focus on the stuff he can easily refute or treat as "bullying," but those people will eventually stumble onto the stuff he admitted to everyone. I can't stress enough how damaging the stuff he admitted to is. Or how bad it looks that his version of damage control is to claim that cheating on his wife with hookers is his dick's fault, and besides... it's not like he killed anyone.

  Maybe he realizes how bad that video makes him look. Probably not, because instead of pretending none of it happened and trying to crawl away in shame, he keeps pretending he occupies a high moral ground. In the end, it just makes his eventual fall that much farther.

  More likely, I expect that he will promote the video and mention that he's being bullied in the comment section, thus precipitating a messy free-for-all that will probably force the channel to disable comments, which also removes them all. Then he'll use that to claim that the attacks on him were so vicious that the channel owner was forced to remove them.

  "Trolls took me to the brink. And when I say 'trolls' I mean my uncontrollable wiener and penchant for spectacularly bad decision-making. But it's still the fault of the people pointing and laughing. How rude!"

  I cannot tell you why I believe that it is longer than the specified time however I would encourage you to think about this:

  I would also point out that he implied (if not outright stated) that he did not have 'mastery over his penis.' Or words to that effect. I suppose it's possible that he held out for ten years before finally giving in and visiting prostitutes. But the price of hand lotion in his local market must have been exorbitant for many years.

  I'm not DF/DA. I haven't been to a meeting in 16 or 17 years (damn, has it been that long?). They could easily find where I am, but I think they don't want to break my mother's heart (she's been waiting for the end for a bit longer than I have been alive).

  I figure that, after she passes on, they won't wait for her body to cool before they're knocking on my door. Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe they don't care. I'm fine either way, but that visit has the potential of being very entertaining.

  Well hello there, Tibor.
  

  I never said this topic was only about the green screen issue. But the green screen conspiracy is why I'm here,

  I wouldn't go so far as to call it a conspiracy. A few people speculated about it and what it might mean. I myself see no issue with it, and I still think he could use a fake backdrop to make his videos a bit more fun. Imagine giving one of his updates from the base of Mount Olive. Or WT headquarters! Or a seedy street corner in Bangkok!

  And I agree that there are some accusations being made that are not easy to confirm or verify, and there's nothing wrong with pushing back on them. And I suppose that, if people think he's a self-centered jerk, that's at least somewhat subjective.

  But there are many things being said about him that are based on his own admissions. He admits to cheating on his wife for many years, and this on the back of his admission regarding his chat habits in his book. If you're not going to address that, I think that's fine. But that doesn't make those things go away, and those actions are the main reason for the subject and length of this thread. Sure, lots of people do not like him, and that has helped fuel the topic. But that seems to be due mostly to the fact that he's not a very likeable fellow.

  Hello and welcome, Kim.

  As to why Lloyd told us, and why he asked us to support Dijana still confuses me today. I can only suggest that he didn't think Dijana would share information with us and that we would convince her to stay with him.....I don't know...

  I get the impression that the threats of legal action was a way to imply to his supporters that he was wronged, but that he does not intend to follow through. Certainly, if you have more information that you have not revealed, he would not want to start a battle that might lead to that information being made public... possibly as part of a legal proceeding.

  He does seem to act precipitously, often out of anger or desperation, thus putting himself in a position that is more difficult than it needed to be. Ultimately, it is the self-inflicted damage that will cause him the most regret. Pity... he'd have fit in with the fellows running the JW organization. :D

  The book about Theranos was Bad Blood, by John Carreyrou. The story of Holmes and Theranos isn't as outrageous or insane as that of Enron, but it's still an entertaining read.

  If he uploaded a video where he says he will interview his wife, then begins talking to a sock with a wig stapled to it, I'd almost be tempted to subscribe to his channel again.

  In the meantime, if he's using a green screen, I suggest he have some fun with it. Why not deliver his next video message from the shores of Galilee? It'd be a pretty funny idea, as long as he doesn't mention scuba diving.
