Okay. So he was ruining other universes by stealing people from them (like Sylvie).

No, that's not what he says.
Why should he ever get some variants from those universes being stolen if... those universes will be EVENTUALLY erased?
No, that's pointless.
The Sylvie Universe still exists.

Yes. He was consolidating power. This is why he weaponized Alioth to protect his timeline. He knew everything that would happen until the threshold. That is why he wanted out, because his control was lost.

Just like the people nothing was seemingly erased it was just moved so that Alioth could devour it.

Okay.
But those alternate universes still exist.
All of them.
TVA just got rid of potential branches. How were those branches been formed anyway, other than time travel?
And why the TVA doesn't know or realize or discover that they are stealing people from other universes, not time branches?

Confusing and badly written.

Some of the things done and said seem to always lead to other things. Remember this from Dr Strange.

The world is not what it ought to be. Humanity longs for the eternal, for a world beyond time, because time is what enslaves us. Time is an insult. Death is an insult. Doctor, we don't seek to rule this world... We seek to save it."
― Kaecilius to Doctor Strange

None of them have any memories of their previous lives. How would they know.

The entire way that people view the MCU is so strange. If people are spoon feed they complain. If they are not spoon feed they complain.

Everything that He who remains talked about makes sense. Those other time lines only exists in the end of time "nexus". None of time lines touched the tower.

Honest to God with the last few comments I'm more lost than before.

Is there or is there not one "sacred timeline"? Because Kang made it seem like the multiverse war occurred long ago and the war ended by eliminating all the timelines but one. The tva existed to prune branches before they became another timeline

IF there is only one timeline how do you get things like an Alligator and a lady Loki. That's not a variant, that's an alternate universe Loki.

No. That's a massive plothole. Super-massive.

The Sylvie Universe, the Alligator Loki Universe, the Classic Comic Book Loki Universe and so on and on...............

TVA is supposed to just get rid of potential time branches. But what branches??????????????????????? They were travelling to other universes. Always.
Why the TVA doesn't know or realize or discover that they are stealing people from other universes, not "time branches"?

In the video it shows Variant's being almost anything. Since we see Throg it could go either way, he was an alligator or was turned into an alligator.

You asked this already and I answered. If you do not like the answer or want to go with plot hole feel free I cannot answer it any better.

If you're not complaining, then obviously I wasn't referring to you!

As for the timeline. Yes from the perspective of he who remains. Which only existed to keep the others at bay. Remember this line.

You have the right answer. You are just missing some pieces.

Think about where those branches are going?

Remember how he showed his Variants opening doors and crossing into the others timelines.

Actually remember what I said about Interim.

All he did was lock the doors. The branches are doors.

A variant of Loki as described by the show would still be Loki. Like turning left when he should have turned right.

There's thousands of degrees of separation involved in being an Alligator.

Trevrox said earlier Kang was lying and there really has been a multiverse all along. But if that's the truth, then what happened at the end of the episode?

The Time Variance Authority (TVA) is a bureaucratic organization created by He Who Remains that is tasked with preserving the "Sacred Timeline" and preventing the creation of branching timelines.
According to TVA propaganda, countless timelines battled one another for dominance across the Multiverse in a cataclysmic war that lasted for eons and nearly resulted in the absolute destruction of existence. To prevent this, the Time-Keepers brought peace and order to the Multiverse by arranging the timelines into a single "Sacred Timeline". In order to preserve the timeline's proper flow, the Time-Keepers then created the Time Variance Authority to police the Multiverse from Variants who create nexus events by stepping off of the path that the Time-Keepers created. If nexus events are left unchecked, the timeline could branch off and lead to another multiversal war.
Great premise, but that's not what is shown on-screen. TVA agents constantly steal people from other universes, NOT "time branches". The agents call them "Time Variants", all of them, but they are not "Time Variants", they are "Interdimensional Counterparts".
(EXCEPT 2012 LOKI, of course)
And the TVA agents do NOT know that. How can you perform a task and not realize what you're doing? That's impossible.
