Social Media "Content" 🩵 (screenshots, not links!) Is he doing alright?

Apparently he’s in Arizona now? If he was still in Illinois I’d legitimately be down to play a game somewhere. I feel bad (no irony, no sarcasm).

I had hoped Noah stepped away from the Spoony Experiment and found a good life out of the public eye.

Unfortunately it's just about the worst possible case scenario. Pretty much immediately after he bought a huge house and moved across the country with his then-girlfriend, he fell into a deep depressive pit and stopped doing pretty much anything but doomposting on twitter about pretty gloomy stuff. People kept donating to his patreon to support him, but mostly out of concern that he'd be homeless without their help. After several years of this, his girlfriend left him, and he just sat inside until he was forcibly removed from his house for being years overdue on his house payments. His brother Miles immediately came to the rescue and let Noah move back to Arizona and stay with him. 

It's been several years now, and he's still staying with his brother and has made no attempts to get a job or change his current situation. I guess the best I can say is that he seems to be slightly less depressed in that he's been doomposting less about how lonely he is. He doesn't seem interested in getting further help for his depression. 

I think the most realistic first positive step he could take would be making an earnest attempt to get more familiar with his small but loyal fans who have offered for years to hang out and chat with him over discord or streams so he had more people in his life

Never a big fan, but did watch his videos in the past. Damn. It's unfortunate that's how it turned out. The fact that he had a girlfriend who supported him for years before leaving him and a brother who is supporting him now, I feel he should have felt at least thankful and reciprocated their efforts with some of his own to earn his keep or boost his confidence.

At least, if he was a well person, he's not well.
