I mean, I think he’s done that. He’s deactivated his Patreon, deleted his YouTube channel, and said that he’ll comment more when his mental health is better. Maybe I am a soft-hearted fool but it sounds like he’s done just that.

that's being fairly charitable to him, i think--he reactivated his patreon when he dropped the now deleted "i'm sorry" video and based on that and the content of his video it seems like he was planning a monetized comeback (to ostensibly pay into Hbomb's financial damage fund) before overwhelming backlash made him scurry back into the shadows and close it again

Yeah, that gave me a good bit to think about. I came to the conclusion that what James should do is on a video by video basis, ask the creators he stole from if they want his video back up with all the proceeds going to them and with credit given in whatever way they would like. Essentially giving his fan base a path back to the original creators. For his patreon, it should be fully deleted, perhaps with just a note that attempts to get those who subbed back to the original creators as well.
