There has been quite a significant burn out on Robert's side over the years. His videos are struggling hard on the Escapist youtube channel, even reviews of shitty Jrpgs are getting more views than his videos. And his personal youtube channel is pretty much dead.
And then there is his patreon, once over 4k, now dripping to the below 3k, and it will continue to drip.
But I don't think it has anything to do with Robert's twitter rants, at this point, whoever still actively follows him knows what he is about.
It's just, Robert is fucking old and boring at this point. As far as internet years goes, he is ancient, he doesn't have anything else to offer but reviews and opinions, not to mention that he doesn't have much charisma to charm people to his persona.
Worst of it all, this is as good as it is going to get for Robert. Even if the Escapist kicks him and he goes back to his channel and manages to score a viral like he did with the Pixels video, he doesn't have much staying power.
For a guy who keeps talking about obsolete people, such irony that he doesn't realise how much of one he truly is.
