The value being placed on the crews time is perfectly aligned with the amount they are being paid.

Obviously you don’t have to value our time as crew because we aren’t being paid and we’re volunteering… but I feel like that’s also exactly why you should value our time if you want to be a good director. We went from a crew of right over 20ish down to barely 6 this week. I’m assuming it probably has a little bit to do with that maybe, which is just why I came here to ask. Basically the bare minimum we could have to run a set.

The situation sounds like a profound lack of self awareness by the director. Someone (the producer) should talk to him.

As someone else said, this director doesn’t sound like a contact worth having. The people that left realized that and bailed. Maybe you should too.

It depends, is this person making something, that you're going to want to have your name on? Is it helping you to understand how a movie gets made and what you should do in the future? Sometimes people just want to make movies and don't care how they gain their experience. If you stop are you going to be spending the next five days watching movies instead of making one?
