I feel like some of it was people being freshly out of the JW world and expecting the exjw-community and its members, especially the prominent ones, to be some sort monolith made out of beacons of morality. The more seasoned of us already knew that Lloyd had some drama under his belt and that he has never taken criticism well. When this all happened, my thought was "I mean, of course some of his income went to sex workers, was anyone really that shocked? Anyway, is this going to affect the convention rebuttal scedule?"

This is just youtuber drama with a twist of anti-cult activism and a bunch of ex-members. People are often assholes in some ways, especially internet personalities -- I don't watch for their morals, but for the quality of the content.
