There was a compounding issue where his mother died, so he was depressed and nobody else had to deal with his situation than him, so he just wallowed in misery. For a while he was streaming 10+ hours every single day and that plus the depression and the psychological burden of people harassing him took its toll. He still has his dad, and I anticipate a severe regression once he dies and we may see the worst Asmond the internet can imagine.
He is in a better place now, but he admits he still has problems that he is working on slowly. I think the constant harassment he still deals with does affect him more than he lets on, but he has become accustomed to it because he understands his takes on things are inflammatory to a subset of the population that is very vocal and occupies the same online space he does.
You are right on all points.
