My thing is, IDK if he can live on the infamy he had/has considering he's essentially a relic of a bygone era now who's relegated to drawing stuff which is chasing a bygone trend. Maybe he can survive similar to other artcows (like Jasonafex/Kabs) by charging ridiculous amounts for his artwork and getting a few depraved whales hurling money at him, but those people are also more likely to go to AI which can replicate the art without restriction or other people who imitated the style and will charge substantially less, they might go for the "prestige" of owning a 'true and honest' Shad... but I also think he's starting to get relegated to "old internet fame" that he'll soon become obscure.
