Tbh, the "tonal shift" had been happening for a long time. This was not out of the blue at all. It was only unexpected for the "A comic must and can only be funny" crowd.
It felt more like he was trying to exploit the concept for attention and popularity in the most tone-deaf, transparent way possible.
I still think it was more of a business decision than anything else.
