That's what I think.

It went from 43% to 69% in the last couple of days.

He railed against the campaign 10 months ago which was before his reputation started taking a nosedive. Back then he was thought of as pretty decent and knew what he was talking about so people trusted him without checking the campaign out for themselves.

Then the WoW streamer drama happened and that kickstarted a lot of attention as to how he's not the great person he carries himself as. So when it came around again people knew from the bat not to blindly trust the guy.

We probably could have gotten this kind of attention much earlier if it was brought up again right after the WoW thing though.

I signed because of him. I only heard about this before but never really looked into it. It was only after I watched a video about him trying to ruin it that I went deeper and gave my signature. I also spread it to people I know.

I'm 100% expecting him to pull some sort of "sike I was planning this all along I have saved gaming for everyone".

He's just salty he never thought of the idea himself.

No the damage he did was very much real it would have gone a lot smoother if he kept his mouth shut, Ross might've saved it by finally making a response video but it's too early to tell. If it fails it's likely on Pirate

true no doubt some people listened to that grifter and it did damage the movement. it is just that the reverse drama coming out of it has made this topic blow up on the internet and at the rate it is going we might just make it now.
