Does he still buy Lego or is he strictly pony shit now?

There's probably a bunch of Marvel and DC shit he needs to catch up on seeing as it's a new fixation. I'm pretty sure Lego does sets of those too.
That font on the Lego site reminds me of Chris' font of choice...

It must have killed him not to dot those i's with hearts.

One factor that I think is underreported here is Chris's huge, huge drop in Patreon revenue. He is now earning something like ~$350/mo, which is about a %60-70 drop from its peak.

I think this is due to the dumbasses realizing they can't use the Patreon as an "in" anymore with Null and co. watching.

No but guys it's his MOTHER giving him financial grief, he's totally not abusing her it's the other way around! Chris just wants to have all of the newest toys and games all while living with his mother and not doing any work, is that so much to ask? He's even given up his pride to sell Fanta cans at a mere 7000% markup, after drinking the soda of course. 2-packs of soda aren't free, ya know.

It's unbelievable that he's still earning $321 a month, when doesn't do anything to deserve it.
He doesn't upload new comic pages and he only uploads videos begging people to buy his garbage.
I guess there's people donating to his Patreon because they receive printed comic issues (that's if Chris sends them out) but there's only like 12 issues of Sonichu, after a year of donating surely there would be zero incentive to continue.
So how is possible that there's still 26 people giving him money?

I think Null befriending him did more damage than good to Chris. Not only did it take a huge chunk out of his revenue, but he lost Anna as a friend as well. And with it being known that Null has access to his email, it kinda makes him more isolated as well.

There are well-off people that just want to see a monkey dance, and see Chris as a perfect monkey. Sure, he might not fulfill his promises, but if Chris got nothing from the internet he might stop making content at all, even just the twitter posts can be entertaining to some people. There is probably a mix of a few white knights that feel that Chris "deserves" money for going through all he's done, and people that want to see whatever content he makes in the future, whether it's comics or twitter posts or e-begging. Never underestimate the silent people, not all autists are as outspoken as Waterman or that recent girlfriend wanna-be that sent Chris tons of money to blow at bronycon.

I don't think Chris actually needs the revenue he gets already. His tugboat should be enough, but then he also gets patreon and other donations before even thinking about "sales" of stuff. If anything it might help him to not have enough money for a short while, if he actually had to choose between new toys and food he's probably not stupid enough to actually starve himself, even for a day. Troll-bucks might be nice, but Chris has never actually needed them and a huge amount of the "trolling" that comes with that money should be gone as well.

Was Anna ever actually a friend? What has she ever seriously done to help Chris? Even when he was being extorted she couldn't bother to help, it seems more like she was a bad influence, acting like someone that could be relied on but never actually pulling through. Wouldn't it be better to recognize you needed outside help than to think you didn't need help because someone had your back when they really didn't? Null might not be Jesus here, but it sounds like he's actually trying to do stuff to help when he claims to do so.

I really don't get how Chris being "isolated" (read: having trolls filtered out) hurts him. He still HAS an email, and 2 phones, and a twitter, and facebook, and real life friends too. He isn't isolated at all, he just gets to see less of the trolls.

Good point. He was also covered by pewdiepie late last year. I'm sure some people watched the pewdiepie vid(s) and decided to toss Chris some bucks so they could get some issues of Sonichu and watch him. Unfortunately Chris decided that toys and roleplaying with ideafag was more important than keeping up with his patreon.

I am guessing some people still didn't get their books, probably because they didn't all subscribe at the same time.

Also, you have to factor in some IRL friends tossing Chris a buck.

Keep in mind that:

1) The Patreon decline actually started before Null intervened, because Chris was busy tarding about with Josh Wise and not delivering his comics, Chris even freaked out about it on Twitter, but it sharpened recently even though he went back to drawing on a (slightly) better time-table.
2) Anna isn't a good friend to Chris, she was clearly using him for attention and as an accessory to bolster her self-esteem and self-worth. Her loss is probably a net positive for Chris.
3) Chris is still earning money through garbage sales. That wasn't impeded in any way.
4) Even if you give Chris 1,000,000 , he will definitely find a way to spend it all, he is incredibly bad with money.
5) Chris was getting serious spam, people subscribed his email to every single offer imaginable, not to mention the constant shitty trolling emails, his email was entirely unusable before Null intervened.

True, but Chris was already @ ~ $900 before PewDiePie made his video. I am sure @The American Hedgehog can clarify the timeline.

That was after Pewdie. Look at it now as well, the PewDie Pie video was made several months ago, and Chris' Patreon has taken a massive dive. I think it's a result of no big Youtubers covering Chris and bad business practices.

PewDiePie started making Chris videos in Nov 2017, here is Chris's immediate tweet to Pewds telling him to DM him:
https://twitter.com/CWCSonichu/status/929823959205412864

If you check the Patreon daily chart on the right (set it to all), you will find that not only was the Patreon already growing before the videos, it actually dipped in the immediate aftermath, then started growing again to it's high of ~$933 in the month of April 2018 (not counting the autist who gave him $1,000 this past month).

I clearly remember making quite a lot of humorous comparisons between Chris's Patreon and other cows, like Dobson or Jake Alley, mainly focusing on how he out earns them all (I think he still does :story:).
