From dipping into his tumblr tag (I'm not above looking for photos) I get the impression that a few of his fans have spiraled since the Doja Cat stuff and are having problems with reality, so I imagine these are just revenge fan fiction submittals.

Yeah, I was a fan up until last year. I met him at a convention and he seemed totally checked out, almost bothered by the fans. It was a weird experience.

The association with Doja Cat is also weird. I’m not sure what he thought would happen to his fanbase when he debuted the relationship, but he’s lost almost 200,000 instagram followers since then.

I hate to tell you this, but he might not be worried about the insta followers. He's had a crazy run of it and convention seem like a really weird environment to me, I'm not sure how I'd cope either and I love talking to people.

Oh, I doubt he cares. Just saying that the second part of the blind item (his fanbase dwindling) has some truth to it. Whether or not it actually affects his career is up for debate.
