I doubt it was something of malicious intent. just the inherit temptation of laziness that comes from not having to sell a product good or service. People have a tendency to pay money reguardless, and it does very little to incentivize performance. When he started out he was on fire not because he wanted to create something great, but because he was on the verge of losing his dream of being an artist and having to work a regular job to sustain himself. But once he hit that threshold where his lifestyle was assured, it all drifted.
Its why socalism doesn't work. you hand someone money for nothing then ask them to do something, instead of paying them for a product. The result is whimsical. Some will do it, some won't, and like beggar, they half ass it to get by.
Now hes jaded because well, he still isn't chasing his dream but instead beholden to the project he created to get the ball rolling. He was supposed to be drawing art on a new project by now, but he's dragging ass treating it like a chore.
The truth is, dreams take work to happen. Work and sacrifice. He really isn't interested in either of those though. He was just a kid that liked to draw and wanted people to give him money to keep drawing. He probably would have sit in his parents house all day drawing if they would have let him. My guess is this all started when they made him move out and get a job.
