That's his attempt at pushing back against any implication or accusation of abuse. It also demonstrates how tone-deaf he is.

Did he really get asked to play a song in a Belgian WAREhouse, or did he misspell something else?

Am I supposed to read 354 pages of slander and speculation about underaged girls
Why? Did you find Lloyd's diary or something?

Indeed, so many of his rants take the form of "not that my private life is any of your business, but [spends an hour telling you all about his private life]." That is, after all, the tone of the video that really got things rolling after Kim's Reddit post. 'My life is none of your business, now sit back while I tell you all about it.'

Nothing to do with impeachment. Nixon had already resigned when he was pardoned. You can't fire someone after they quit. The pardon did prevent him from facing potential criminal prosecution.
You're right, thanks for the correction.

It could be she can't until the divorce is final.
Or, unlike her husband, she understands that it's much better to maintain a low public profile and say as little about a legal matter as she can, until it is resolved. It does bring up an interesting question- will Evans try to get her to agree to an NDA as part of any divorce settlement? Would he be willing to offer enough to actually make it worthwhile? Will he need to make similar offers to others close to her?

How many PIMOs are actually inside the WT Bethel compounds Worldwide
I would guess that there are quite a few, as well as many loyal people for whom the shine has faded a bit. It can't be easy to spend that much time behind the curtain without seeing that things are not quite as they are presented to the rest of the followers. A poor environment will bring down all but the most enthusiastic people, over time.

Also to be noted that he made a bulk claim against 7 different individuals. Perfectly ok but nearly impossible to manage.
Wouldn't that imply that it was one crime, or that the defendants were working together? Not just impossible to manage, but it seems like it would be impossible to prosecute! Wait, wait... was that the cheaper option?

I think their best course of action is mostly what they have been doing: responding with more videos and more blogs and more statements. This has two important effects- one, it shows that Evans's bullying is having the opposite effect.
Two, it shows that he's not really interested in taking action against his detractors, because YouTube has options for reporting any kind of harassment, bullying, defamation, slander, etc. Either he is not using these, or he has tried them and been denied. But he knows he can't attempt to abuse or misuse this system, or he may be the one who gets punished. And he can't just make vague claims when using this system- he needs to make a case that will withstand scrutiny.
He seems determined to control the narrative, as would be expected of a control freak and narcissist. It is one reason why he probably is feeling very stressed by his current situation, where he seems to be losing control of Dijanna. If she ever decides to open up about him and about their relationship, the damage would be immense. He must badly want to keep her within reach and within control.

I’ve seen this too in channels devoted to football and YouTubers admitting they’ve “got” to produce content to keep their patrons fed.
I believe the YouTube algorithm also rewards regular content, so that it is more profitable to post short videos frequently. There are creators who post new videos daily! I think some creators burn out from trying to find topics and from the effort of posting so frequently. Lloyd's approach, which was to spend a relatively small amount of time on creating the content and more time editing and prepping it (or perhaps having others do it?) for publication over time, probably works well to keep it from becoming too much of a burden, at least at first.
But that much content can be difficult for viewers. The 10-to-15 minute stuff is easy to handle over the course of a week or a month. But did anyone really sit through the three+ hour long convention breakdowns for each day of the convention? Does YouTube reward that kind of massive content dump?
