  Diogenesister he is a master manipulator and some his remaining patrons are apparently susceptible. (Cognitive dissonance?) There are probably some others who signed up ages ago and are not aware of what’s been happening. To have lost half of his paying supporters in less than a year is about as dramatic a collapse in support as it gets. There is another YouTuber boogie2988 who started out as a sympathetic character but ended up boasting about doing similar things to LE. In his case it took a few years for him to lose most of his patrons, a very long process.

  I know LE acts as if he’s the “biggest megaphone” but the statistics just don’t bear this out. There are at least 4 other xJW YouTube channels that reach a bigger audience than he does in terms of views, and a number of others that are a similar size. So where does the idea come from that he isn’t a minor player or isn’t dispensable?

  A helpful graphic from graphtreon for LE to illustrate the “steadfast support” of his patrons:

  His presentation of statistics is more selective than a Jan WT Study Article!
  As I pointed out on page 500, there are at least 4 other xJW channels that get more views for similar content (in this case rebuttals to Stephen Lett’s ‘enemy baby’ remarks). There are probably others I overlooked.
  His small increase in subs is probably a function of the sheer volume of videos that he ‘churns out’, to use his description. It would be interesting to compare with other channels. I guess they attract more than a few hundred new subs each month.
  His stats probably mainly went up in August because people tuned in to see what was happening at the convention.
  During that whole period his Patreon numbers slumped by nearly 50%, a figure he probably won’t trumpet any time soon.

  Interesting that they want to increase print publications. Apparently their shortage of funds around 2014 is now well and truly over and they are in the black.

  It is difficult to follow, because it’s so stupid, but his argument really is as stupid as it appears. He really is claiming that there is a difference between going to Thailand AND using prostitutes, and going to Thailand TO visit prostitutes, and that anyone who confuses those two completely different things is displaying racism. He first tried to fly that harebrained idea on Andrew Gold’s podcast, and was met with complete incomprehension, but he seems determined to stick with it.

  Meanwhile his patron number has reached a new low of 453. 🎉

  It’s probably good to remember how small a participant LE is now even in his own arena of YouTube. One month ago various YouTubers responded to Stephen Lett’s comments on babies being “little enemies of God”. As far as I can make out these are the most popular response videos in descending order.

  Telltale 140,000 views

  JW Thoughts 18,000 views

  AltWordly 12,000 views

  N.O.C.A.C.A 8,400 views

  Lloyd Evans 8,300 views

  xJW curious 8,200 views

  Cappytan 7,600 views

  TotallyAwake EJW 4,500 views

  I may have missed some but even in the niche of xJW YouTubers he’s a very small player. What he has managed to do is convince patrons to send him money every month especially since the start of the pandemic. That’s what’s keeping him going, not the quality or popularity of his videos.

  He’s the biggest advert for Watchtower’s stereotype of an immoral apostate they have ever had. They must be loving it. Maybe it’s them boosting his Patreon. (I notice he dropped a few more today thought)

  He probably wouldn’t have picked on the litterer if it was a well built guy his own size. As with his online bullying – he avoids accusing Dr Sohom Das and Andrew Gold of libel even though they called him a psychopath and a cult leader on their platforms. He prefers what he (mistakenly) regards as weaker targets - smaller xJW channels.

  Yes a real man, who sought to do good, ultimately quite unpopular in his own country despite his best efforts. Lots of good interviews on YouTube showing a man of intelligence good intent. He and Reagan agreed between them that nuclear war could not be won and must never be fought. I’ve heard him say (after the collapse) that he supported the ideals of the February revolution but not the November revolution. I think the November revolution could have worked, were it not for outside interference from Britain and other capitalist nations at the crucial point.

  Good points Las Malv and BettyHumpter

  I wonder if the people complaining that this thread has persisted too long are also over on LE’s social media pages complaining about him persisting with his claim to stand up for abused people despite everything we know about his own behaviour. Or is it only psychopathic narcissists who deserve a break?
