He was at 349 in July 2019.
It took him 3-1/2 years from there to hit his peak of 897 in November 2022.
But then only 1-1/2 years to slide right back down.
It's been a long 9 years Lloyd Evans / John Cedars (continued)

Channel Update:
We have already uploaded several videos and are working on the Gold ones. Unfortunately, since this is a new channel, the quantity of videos uploaded is limited daily. We have a lot more to upload and so far, 22 have been published.
Remember to like and subscribe as that helps us maintain a positive score with YouTube.

This channel is not monetised nor will it ever be. We only seek to bring attention to Lloyd Evans and his history and to the creators themselves should they so desire.
Copyright is a concern, which is why we are withholding the Lloyd Evans ones until the very end. On the ones we are posting, it is not likely the creators object to the content being mirrored since it either brings attention to their own channels or magnifies their own opinions regarding Lloyd. We are including in the comments links to the original videos. It is our concern that at some point these videos may be deleted by their creators (as some have already been) due to harassment by Lloyd and his followers, thus the need for a central repository. If there is a creator that wishes otherwise, please contact us at [email protected] and we will work out a solution that meets any concerns.
We will keep uploading more tomorrow and hopefully be finished by late next week.
Thank you,

Somebody should update his Patreon page ...

I look forward to the day when "paid members" means that he had to pay them to join.

Interesting how Lloyd's paid membership went from 364 paid members on April 30 to 346 on May 1. Then on May 2 his paid membership was 352. Still it looks like his loses over gains are two to one. Not the way to run a successful business.
However, I question his sudden gain of six new paid members on May 2, especially with all the negative information about Lloyd on the internet these days. Moreover, one has to ask what type of person would continue to support someone with a history like Lloyd's?

The people still paying are probably the real die-hards, the ones who refuse to hear anything bad about him and have memory-holed the livestream or rationalized it the way Evans did. The slow drain that is happening now is probably due more to the lack of content and broken promises. I'm sure that there are quite a few of them whose support is contigent on actually getting something for their money. A few more months like April and they might begin to leave.
Once they are gone, we'll see who the real hardcore supporters are. I'm also curious to see how many vacation trips he will be able to take the rest of this year.

What kind of person would be a hardcore supporter of Lloyd?

A gullible person.

Lloyd’s huge counterpoint to all this is that people who have dropped support have a JW Mindset of judgmentalism and even some sort of Puritanical view of sex. To this I reply that the opposite is true: People who are still supporting Jabba the Hutt despite all the revelations suffer from a JW leftover - the “good vs. evil” logical fallacy. They have the same viewpoint as they had with the org - “the Brothers aren’t perfect! But look at all the GOOD they have done!”
You’ll find the same logic uttered by Lloyd’s remaining supporters. Many fully admit that Lloyd fucked up but they will reason away that the good far outweighs the bad.
It doesn’t. Not by any stretch. The “good” has been reduced to trifle of videos every month with frequent illnesses that prevent him from meeting his Patreon promises. Also the man’s been a wrecking ball and a drain on the entire community since he arrived. He’s slandering people in a frivolous lawsuit that he has abandoned as “criminal defendants”.
Lloyd grew his business before in no small part because people were led to believe that him and Dijana were a “paycheque to paycheque” type of family and that those girls needed to be fed. He even complained that he had to borrow money to get his daughter a haircut, as if it weren’t his responsibility in the first place. Remember the traffic Croatian earthquake everyone in the world remembers where the in-law’s chimney was damaged? Lloyd cleaned up on donations and lived for a month or more in a coastal villa. A lot of that was out of sympathy for the family.
That has all been wiped out. He doesn’t have the “I need to take care of my family!” argument anymore - esp after he abandoned them in such dramatic fashion. He’s either a divorceé or soon to be one and a non-custodial parent of the children.
He could and should be careful with that, but he’s always posting pics and videos of him out and about. He hasn’t been to any meetup or event in years and has been reduced to an isolated asshole hardly anyone dares to publicly make known that they have met him.
Except Jana - bless her. And that Jay the Comedian guy whose routine is only a step above Lloyd’s.
