This is the correct take, IMHO.

Whatever damage the review-bombing did was quickly canceled out automatically once Yelp and FB and other review sites detected brigading.

Ajay and Brewer's Cafe's business wasn't "canceled" over Ajay's pro-life views or conservative leanings. Richmond City didn't revoke any licenses or threaten eviction—at least not as far as I know.

But that incident months ago did cause people to become keenly aware of Ajay's troubling past posts and how he reacts to legitimate feedback and concerns: by blaming everyone but himself while essentially calling himself GOAT. His staff's resignations immediately and shortly after, including allegations by a past employee over inappropriate remarks by an employer, absolutely didn't help matters.

Ultimately, all of that is what caused people to reconsider whether Ajay and Brewer's Cafe was worth supporting and patronizing. It turned out they'd rather go somewhere else.

Completely agree. Also he did receive multiple evictions notices according to him. They were at the business and then also at his home. If I understand correctly if he was receiving eviction notices that means that the bills hadn’t been paid in well over five or six months.
