Aaron Singerman is presevering in this world of bodybuilding and continuing, no matter what. At least he does what he says. Besides, he is pretty cool, and goes to a lot of the contest / expos.
How did he "presevere"?

Unless you mean he sticks around while people make fun of him? It isnt like he is some bodybuilding icon or industry legend. He isnt even well liked. Those who DO pretend to be cool with him are doing so merely for exposure and protection. LOL
Bodybuilding is a very small part of society. If you take those who actually frequent the forums that Aaron visits, that community gets even smaller.
He has a few people that listen to his show and whores it well. He is to bodybuilding reporting, what Vissy Goodrum is to bodybuilding. He has no pull or substance, in fact, his show was even denied press passes to the O this year.
What did he do, that he said "he would do", as you stated?
I do agree with you on him going to a lot of contests and expos though.
