In an interview with The Next Web, Evan Blass explained his reasons for quitting @evleaks. According to Blass, it is mostly because of monetization challenges and his “progressively worsening disease”, multiple sclerosis, which he has to financially prepare himself better for the future.

“These matters are always somewhat complicated, but like many things, it mostly comes down to money. Trying to monetize a stream of Twitter leaks is not easy. First I tried monthly sponsorships. Then weekly. Then single sponsored tweets. I took donations — felt like online panhandling.

I also started a website, and it’s actually done somewhat respectably, but with all the leaks going out on Twitter anyway, people have little incentive to visit, and most of my tech-savvy-heavy audience seem to be pretty heavy ad-block users, as well. It all adds up to an unsustainable living, and with a progressively worsening disease, I need to make sure I can prepare myself better for the future, financially.”

As for his retirement, Blass stated that he’s not actually quitting work but rather will move on to a new and more stable career.

“There is no Nexus 6. Farewell, Nexus” This is according to the famous tipster @evleaks who just tweeted this a few hours ago. Following this is another entry saying, “Don’t worry, there’s a silver lining to this cloud…” Could it really be the end of the well-loved Nexus line for the introduction of Android Silver?

We’ve previously reported on Android Silver — a rumored support system by Google wherein people can walk in to and have their specially-picked Android smartphones set up and checked when there are problems. In addition, they will also be selling said handsets that will come along with these customer service privileges.

There also have been rumors going around that Android Silver might be replacing the Nexus line to make way for Google Play Edition devices. So @evleaks’ two-fold Twitter post has a great chance of referring to the said reports. Do keep in mind, though, that these are all rumors and still not final. But if you’ve been following @evleaks for a while now you’ll know that most of his tips are spot on.

It would be a shame if Google Nexus 6 would not see the light of day after getting us all excited with its concept image and an alleged LG build. Still, we’ll be waiting for an official announcement and making sure to update you guys so keep on watching this space.
