He said over and over on his podcasts and on other podcasts he would not settle, even as late as a week ago before he took vacation. And he kept pushing people to use the Amazon link to boost the balance so the fight could continue and finish them. Unless we are missing something from this settlement, I think he will loose a lot of the good will he developed with other podcasters and those listeners he would not otherwise have had on his side.
According to the article, Corolla can't comment until September 30th. He seems to have been pretty good about being open and explaining his actions so far. So I might suggest holding tight and waiting until we hear his side of the story until passing judgment.
