What Lia chose as a pot-yab strategy, going by her tweet, is fascinating in terms of Social Psychology.

She's performing a Purity Purge. This is usually deployed by radical ideologies, gangs or cults, as a strategy to gather a fanatical core of supporters, as well as to weed out the doubters and traitors, at the cost of numbers and mass appeal.
Those who follow the Lia with absolute obedience no matter what, in this time of trials, will be part of the Lia Inner Circle and granted special privileges. Meanwhile the cannon fodder will flee.

Antis/critics are unaware they also fullfill a purpose. By antiing, they believe they are attacking the Liacon, but what they are actually doing is signaling themselves as members of the outergroup, the enemy. This serves so as to increase cohesion, conviction and group identity of the innergroup (Lia's Elite) while exposing themselves as targets for the purge. Anti behavior will be weaponized against themselves.

-Predictions:
The way The Lia will act for a while will be with the exclusive, intensified purpose of appealing to her Elite. She will also filter a lot of cannon fodder. After the first streams, where people who are curious about the resolution of the recent events will be lurking, then we will see a noticeable decrease in numbers (mostly grey but also greens), but a chat filled with her Elite. (increasing of group cohesion +cannon fodder sacrifice phase). A few months later, when the Elite is secured, we will see a change of strategy so as to appeal to new sources of audience (new cannon fodder recruitment phase).
We will also see a significant radicalization of the average Liker.

Overall, the Yab Event will have caused a lot of short term stress, number loss, and a need to deploy these strategies, but the final result long time after, will be significantly stronger Likers.
