I appreciate you taking the time to write (from what I can tell) a genuine and heartfelt response to all of this. I have read the entire thing (some parts twice), and as many others have said, it would have helped IMMENSELY to have this kind of communication early on. And in my opinion, it was detrimental to your case to have alt-accounts (real or not) to stir things up more. And if they were in fact just fans/friends of yours trying to help you out, the aggressive nature of those posts definitely backfired instead.
But moving forward from that (as that point is now moot), unfortunately I don't know if the end-result would have changed. SLR users (myself included) are very passionate about their VR. A lot of us love SLR. And speaking for me personally, it's 100% my number one studio. I want SLR to thrive because they have made huge strides for the VR industry. They have made it easy for new VR adopters to access and pay for their VR porn, they have streamlined interactive scripting and made it more accessible, they have been the first company to really take a serious stab at passthrough (not my personal taste, but not the point), and the SLR Originals they produce are (in my eyes) the best VR content out there. And because of this, other companies follow suit in almost every aspect. SLR is leading the industry.
So when the announcement of your private channel was coming to SLR, and from what it seemed like a SLR-affiliated production, a lot of us saw issue with that. Many for ethical reasons (yes, we are just on the outside and only know what we see in the adult blogs, Twitter, interviews, etc), and many of us for the sake of SLR's well-being. And sure enough, once news broke out on Twitter, the responses and backlash were undeniable. Talent boycotting SLR, users boycotting SLR... it was a lose-lose situation here, and there would be no good outcome for SLR. Perhaps if your channel was announced and releasing completely independently on your own website, and you addressed all previous issues in a post/video/statement to the adult industry at large, maybe eventually people would have been able to give you another chance and subscribe to your studio directly. But all the negative optics, deleted apology video, Wankz not backing you up in 2021, the many accusations out there (bandwagon or not), I don't think the JimmyLifestyles channel would have ever come to fruition on SLR (or VRPorn) unless all previous things didn't happen first.
All that being said, I certainly do not revel in the fact that your private channel was shutdown. And I certainly do not wish ill upon your emotional or financial situation. I hope you will find other ways to express your creativity. And if you were indeed conned and slandered in all of the previous cases, I do hope somehow you can prove your innocence and have your justice. But if that day never comes, perhaps what is healthiest is to come to terms with the reality of the situation and leave "Jimmy Lifestyles" behind.
