At some point, John started promoting every project thinking he was helping decentralization. I believe he noticed that this reduced the value of his recommendations and will soon support projects with real value. He promoted DeepOnion's new website but I'm not sure if it got good attention in the middle of all the altcoin hype. After hearing him speak in the last video, he put good emphasis on privacy coins. Decentralization and our privacy will give us our power back from the old corrupted banking system.
I agree he lost a bit of credibility when he started promoting anything and everything. I too liked his emphasis on the privacy coins. There is a definite need for them, especially the ones that offer real world value.
