Isn’t it interesting that he got a huge payoff to come to the Intercept at its beginning, while he still had the whole Snowden treasure trove? And then published absolutely nothing more of it.
That’s one interpretation and likely one level of what happened. I just can’t help but think that something else happened. The Intercept was founded and is funded by billionaire Pierre Omidyar of Ebay fame, a guy with possible connections to intelligence and one who in his “philanthropy” takes after George Soros. He seems like just the sort of ruling class character who would buy off Greenwald and Poitras to protect the surveillance state.
Not to sound conspiratorial or anything, but perhaps someone (or some institution) has started paying better.

A snake found itself at the right place in the right time it seems.
