Ever since TDT dropped his overwhelmingly successful docu-video about the story of Eso, Zach himself has been missing in action.
Eso has been swift in responding to attacks on him in the past in less than 12 hours. He would even react while inebriated on drugs to respond to allegations made about him on Twitter and Discord.
If he would not respond in a full video (which to be fair would take him a while) he would either respond in the community tab of his YouTube channel, on other people’s Discord server, in comment sections of videos, or mention it in live streams on his channel or other people’s channels, or on social media like he did on Gab and Twitter. Sometimes, but not often recently, he would make a quick video on his alternate account on YouTube Eso Posting.
There has not been a single peep out of Eso since the video dropped 12 days ago as of the writing of this entry. There have been no screenshots or leaks from his server, even amongst the people who have turned on Eso but keep a close eye on him. There have been no comments, videos, livestreams, community posts, or appearances on his or any other channels about anything from him for the last month.
WARNING: From this point on I would like to emphasize that what you’re about to read here is speculation and rumor. These were rumors and speculation from fans of Eso after the Tsar Bomba 2 data drop. These people were okay with Eso doxing Mr Dapperton’s whole family then. So please take everything you’re about to read with a grain of salt. While probably true, It might also be trash.
People I have verified knew Eso online and in real life have come forward after the video and have made comments about their experience. One person was very upset that Eso had scammed him out of money to create content he never made. In his server, he was e-begging for money in the promise of making landmark videos about Agorism and continuing work on his alternate internet project FNET. Eso has not made a single video essay in 4 years, and FNET has officially been canceled according to the main developer. Many people who were burned by Eso would remain in the server quietly just to keep it eye on him. One of which was unable to locate his server. This means that Eso might have been kicking dead weight off of his server in paranoia, or deleted his whole server again.
Eso moved in with a guy who we will call “Chuck.” Chuck had invited Eso into his home to help him build his agorist project as he was a fan of Eso. He had given Eso some marijuana to enjoy, which Eso could not handle. Getting so blitzed that he would roll around on the floor mumbling. Chuck assumed that the quality of marijuana in Washington was not that great. That could not be true considering that Washington is one of the frontrunners of marijuana production in the country and produces some of the highest quality marijuana. Some have speculated that this is the first time that Eso has consumed any illicit drug, and all previous claims to being high or shrooming were a LARP for attention as he was involuntarily straight edge.
Chuck would also help help him acquire a Winnebago. The rumor that he was living in a Winnebago was almost true as the Winnebago was not fit to live in. Nor was the Winnebago operational. After many attempts to get the engine to turn over, it simply would not. There was a lot of wear, damage, and neglect that the Winnebago would also not be livable. For instance, the front seat could not be bolted down to the ground and was loose. The front step of the side door was missing leaving a gap where you could fall onto the ground and potentially under the tire if moving. All of the stuff about his Winnebago is verified with video and picture evidence.
The Winnebago project was such a money suck and time hole, that Chuck eventually put an end to it by selling it for scrap. And telling Eso that it was stolen. Since it was Chuck’s Winnebago that he paid for, he was free to do with it as he wished.
Chuck has claimed that Eso is filthy, lazy, and dysfunctional. Claiming that he could in no way be self-sufficient, nor could he be trusted to be at the residence unattended as he would just cause messes, damage, or cause a scene with his neighbors. Anytime he had to leave the house, he would take Eso along with him. He said it felt like he was babysitting the entire time he was living with him.
Eso often plays or requests to play content from people with mental illness who would use offensive language like Terry A. Davis creator of TempleOS. He would even do this in areas that were highly populated with black people who would be offended at the gratuitous use of the n-word.
After realizing that Eso was not in a position to live on his own and needed a caretaker, he would push Eso to move back to his family which had since relocated from Washington to another state.
There has been a lot of speculation about whether or not Eso has fetal alcohol syndrome given his actions, his overestimation of his abilities, his idiotic comments, and his facial features very much in line with symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome.
But as of now the goal of this site is complete. From the beginning we only wanted Eso to do better by any means necessary. Be it controlling his destructive behavior, or just removing himself from the internet entirely. Our mission statement had always reflected that we just wanted him to stop harming other people who were critical of him. Though today it seems as though nature has found peace.
Until Eso returns to the internet, this page will be dormant as a sort of monument to Eso and his online presence over the last 10 years.
Shine on, you crazy diamond!
