If I ever take stand up comedy, tell my joke, and the entire room starts yelling like diseased apes, I'm only going to assume I should do it again, especially if I have nothing else to show except that one annoying joke.
if I was instead to tell my joke, and instead of yelling, the entire crowd went dead silent, I would have failed at getting a reaction out of them, and would leave defeated
also what the forget do think is gonna happen to him, the entirety of the topic yelling at him is only gonna want to make him do it again, not leave. why would you think that would change his "approach" at all
