Prediction: Jones will be back on all these platforms before 2019.

Now that he knows where the line is, he'll step back behind it. The pressure from the many fans of his will pressure the companies to put him back on, because he promised to be good.

Just a guess.

I would predict he'll be back for a different reason.

He'll simply create new accounts, and on this new account he'll toe right up to the line without going over it (until 2019).

The pressure from his many fans will have no effect, because they're not a market that any company wants to be associated with.
