He probably thought whatever he was saying and how he was behaving on streams caused no harm - and I saw no issues with how he was behaving too. A bit of a lovable goofball and unhinged gramps of the group.
That situation must have hit him like a truck, reminding that he's a product owed by a corporation and there are strict regulation of how he has to perform his role, or you're gone.
Probably disillusion is stronger word then demoralization. I'm sure he was aware of there being restrictions, yeah, but perhaps not the full real scale of mechanisms behind the scenes.
I'm affraid that'll change his character into paranoid to say too much, quiet and closed. If after two years and thereafter we'll be getting super-safe, sanitized and nervous vesper, that'll be a sad character arc. He is a product after all, they are reminding him that.
