Chris's life is already sad and the lulz have mostly ceased to exist, that cow was milked for all the fun it had left some years ago. He is still an interesting trainwreck and the speculation on how he will end up is a motivator to keep checking up on him but any positive outcome for his future is kinda off the table so him dying is not as tragic, even for someone who just wants more if his antics to laugh at. Him living to old age would be even sadder considering it will just be prolonged misery.
The angry Sonichu medallion Chris sent to Mr Smith is one of the pieces of memorabilia i can see fetching a good price for its collectors value just right after he dies, people would be all over his scraps and can see ebay lighting up with all the weens trying to score a quick buck or secure more cwc shit, then the value will drop dramatically once no one remembers who Chris Chan is anymore, internet memes don't have that kind of staying power.
