It’s encouraging to see his patrons are still dropping like flies. You can see neat graphs of the decline here. Most people are not buying the latest polished offering any more than they were impressed with the car crash livestream.

He could do a video on the downward statistics—larger drops to talk about than anything in the annual report.
He is clearly trolling people in this “slick” new video. For example he says that his former colleagues can return to him when the allegations are disproven. But none of his colleagues quit because of the allegations. Every single one of them quit because of what he himself said in his car crash livestream. He knows this perfectly well. He is clearly trolling people by completely ignoring the real issue.
Even in his carefully crafted statement (he must have got help) he still couldn’t stop his personality slipping through on occasion. He says that “unfortunately I have been forced to block some people”. But nobody “forced” him to block anybody. Blocking and silencing people has been his modus operandi from the beginning. He simply can’t see himself as anything other than a victim. In his mind he has no choice but to behave the way he does and to block any critical comment. Other people “forced” him. It’s just a small point but illustrative of his entire engagement with other people and lack of self awareness.
He may be able to struggle on at a much reduced level and with many people declining to work with him at all. But as it becomes clear he’s going to get a lot less money and attention than he had become accustomed to, his output will probably nosedive along with his appetite for pumping it out. Because another thing he didn’t manage to conceal in his latest statement is his deep contempt for other ExJWs who he considers the worst kind of people he interacts with. Well why bother? Because he cares? Ha! Because he wants the money. The question is will he be able to make enough money to make the pretence worth the effort.
