While changes at Twitter informed his decision, I think not getting any financial support when he asked for it was enough for him to feel that what he was doing was not valued by the people who took advantage of it. For the record I did not follow this individual.
I guess that's the point of the post; if he didn't feel like he was valued, I think his expectations were misaligned. 1000 patrons within a month, with a very imperfect product without a clear value proposition is still VERY good, and I don't understand where the discouragement was coming from if he didn't plan that far ahead.
