I’m totally late to this but that background flex he tried to do was fuckin golden. 2 consoles he had to buy himself but tell cringe lies about…a Tekken little league trophy and a 100k button from 10 years ago that he never grew from. Like I literally felt a little bad for him…THATS your fuckin flex??? Dave’s the fuckin man.
It's like the boomer that peaked in highschool still displaying his highschool sports trophies and medals at fucking 40.
At least he could have dusted off his expensive as fuck game statues and displayed those instead of fucking empty boxes, a worthless trophy and a monument to his stagnant "career"
 
So....what do you guys think is behind the sudden crackdown on troll comments?

He's always complained incessantly about them and of course scrubbed it away in places where he's had a live presence. But up until now he's tolerated/been too lazy to get rid of them in all places. Now for some reason he's suddenly putting in serious effort (for him) to purge them everywhere possible, like every tweet and youtube video has to be completely clean now. At a serious cost to engagement.

What is he hoping to accomplish 10 years after he lost his rep?
The YouTube comments are probably a quiet admission that dumping comments completely hurt him in terms of rankings and visibility (to some extent, anyway) and may be him trying to boost himself while also protecting his ego. The Twitter lockdown is just 100% ego. He'd rather have no engagement than deal with people mocking him on each tweet.

Edit: LOL. Straight-up begging at the end of the YouTube video for money b/c Lost Judgement is "slow". Somehow still a "great streaming day" though.

My personal theory, which may be just me giving too much credit to Phil, is that he has realized that he can't keep relying so much on so few people as he has been doing lately. If his top 10 whales disappeared, he'd be majorly screwed.

So I think this comments thing is just an instance of Phil trying to make his content reach more people so that, maybe, he can find new gullible people to scam.

Other things that have happened strengthen this idea, like him going off on his paypigs because they expected Jax Raxxor to pay him 100 dollars every SF night, for example. Or his recent copium overdose when he was talking about how once he's playing certain games, new people will appear in the chat and become members.

Sadly for Phil, it's way too late for that. He has to pray to Baphomet that his whales will stay around and not find a GF/Wife/Friends to make them stop supporting him.
 
Not like he can display his wrestling JPEGs
Mate that's so pathetic though, isn't it?
Bloke worked "hard" for thirteen years and has fuck all to show for it. He can't flex a banging car, a nice house, a hot wife, cool clothes or fuck all else. The stupid fat git has fuck all of value to show for bloody thirteen years of "hard" work but a few JPEGs in a phone app. An app that can one day just decide to fuck off.
Imagine that around 100,000$ is a bad year for you, you made more every previous year and you have nothing to show for. It's not just that he has fuck all to show, he has to beg for even the stuff he uses to flex.

I'm not Phil's age, but I am a sperg and exceptional yet even I can't imagine boasting with a medal I got back in college or some shit. I want to hate Phil, but I swear he seems more and more pathetic as time goes on. He puts value in a mall trophy for fuck's sake, what the fuck mate.

Yeah that thousand-dollar stream has been totally memoryholed just like the thousand he got from Jaxx.
Phil likes to bring up the restaurant analogy of "just because I had one good day doesn't mean I expect no money the next!" but businesses tend to have these things called a "quota". If they exceed said "quota" they don't stress about pulling in money for a little while. Phil on the other hand directly berates his viewers by telling them "only three people have donated!" and all that shit. Anyone remember that time Phil's streams would go "back to normal and he wouldn't have to talk about the damn tips goal" after he lowered the goal from $200? Yeah that didn't last long.
So the question is how much fucking money does a playthrough need to be considered "worthwhile" for Phil? He holds it over his viewer's heads that he's running a business but the actual metric for his success is a blacklisted topic. Lost Judgement has pulled in a boatload of viewer money but it's still not enough for...some reason.
Couldn't possibly be that Phil is addicted to instant gratifaction, no, that's insanity.
 
Someone theorized that he's allowing comments again (albeit heavily scrubbed) because he thinks he'll need some nonzero level of engagement to qualify for Youtube's gifted subs program.
I think @actually got it right. He is losing a tremendous amount of views and viewers so he needs to be a part of youtube's algorithm to get some of those views back. However, he should have followed the Amberlynn Reid strategy where you don't read any of those comments and just allow everyone to go wild in the comments while filling every video with ads every 2 minutes. He would end up with more money and views if he did that but he obviously has enough money coming in to afford his lifestyle of gin, DoorDash, and WWE Champions

Sure...but what changed his mind from just letting the comments be to purging them? If I remember he disabled Youtube comments long before his return and then reenabled vetted comments recently after a little while having Youtube as his primary? But the Twitter lockdown seems out of nowhere.

My theory is that he got annoyed because people started doing to him what they did to CWC.
He wanted to get attention with that stupid cum burger, and some blue checkmarks started laughing at him. I remember one woman that had some back and forth with him was contacted by several actually very polite detractors and was warned about Philip. She decided to dunk on him and she also praised the very kind and polite people that warned her about Philip.

It's likely not why he disabled comments, but I want to believe it hurt his ego that the holy blue checkmarks were praising the polite detractors and not patting his ass because he had too much wank in his burger.

Didn't he get (probably accidentally) dunked on by superblindman immediately prior to the twitter lockdown? That probably played a part too, which is hilarious.
 
I added a highly requested feature to the tips tracker the other day under the "Game (Analysis)" sheet. It is a breakdown of his earnings on a PER GAME basis, starting on 05/01/21 or afterwards:

I think it's simply that Phil wants everything to be chill, lazy, zero effort and everything is positive happy rainbow sunshine... while Phil still shits on everyone else, and is jealous of anyone who has a penny more than him.
 
Divinity was only beat out by Cold War for average tips per stream and he STILL dropped it lmao
I actually think that Divinity performed even better than this chart shows but since it was already playing before the departnering I don't have a complete data set.

Not that it would have mattered anyway, this little baby bitch would have dropped it regardless.
 
Very well put together post.

The only other subject apart from food I have ever heard him talk about with any real emotion is strangely enough birds.

Back in one of Metokurs restreams he suddenly went on a tangent about some bird he had seen outside for quite a bit, and it sounded like it was something he enjoyed without being an expert or anything. Just like a regular person with a normal interest.

It was such a strange segment that even Jim was taken aback by it, and said something to the effect of this might be something he really should look into making a real hobby as it sounded like something he genuinely enjoyed.
Phil is Tony Soprano with half the brains and twice the pride in his Italian heritage.

He just doesn't want to be challenged in any way shape or form. He gets mocked relentlessly by everyone on Twitter, because he has shit takes and zero filter, can't help himself talk shit about others, and then they clap back and humiliate him. His incessant bitching is mocked on a daily basis by trolls and outsiders alike.

He also put himself in a massive pit full of shit and lies, so at this point the only exit is to memory hole, pretend it didn't happen and ban anyone stating the opposite.

He's used to running his mouth all the time, but now he's objectively a loser, so denial and narcissism kicks in. That's why he bust out the good old toy boxes and the shitty trophy for his background.

It's the desperation to deny to himself the fact he's a complete and utter failure in life, despite all the opportunities for genuine progress he's got.

Just notice what he put in the background:

1) irrelevant Tekken tournament - muh I'm a former pro fighting game player excuse, clinging to glory from 15 years ago, that is not even that glorious, gets clapped by gojitenks on a weekly scheduled basis

2) play button - from a channel that can barely break 1,000 views, with over 110k dead subs that are never coming back, and were NEVER genuinely interested in watching his videos. A number on a spreadsheet. But, to his own admission (2017), if you watch the ads, he doesn't give a fuck if you watch his video, how long you watch it for, whether you enjoy it or not, or if you intend on sticking around.

3. Toy boxes that other people bought for him, is actually the most pathetic ones - look at me, I'm a real gamer, I have the gamer toys, you don't have the gamer toys, I'm better than you

His relentless Twitter spam is terrible as well. His Twitter is nothing but self-promotion, sprinkled with the occasional toxic comment about something, all discourse around which is shut down immediately by disabling replies.

In essence, he's just a punching bag that can talk shit to you, as a motivator of making you punch even harder (I should pitch this on shark tank). He's incapable in addressing any criticism in a straightforward way (because narcissism, and I dun did dis for 13 years), and at this point doesn't even want to bother admitting certain things are happening, simply because he can just pretend they don't, and his paypigs will pay up anyways.

I think the Keemstar thing particularly got under his skin, because people generally agree Keem is a piece of trash drama monger, yet we agreed with him on DSP.
 
is kinda hilarious that his pious husband shtick just makes him come off as someone who really fucking hates women.

man loses his god damn mind anytime he sees one doing anything.
I bet he would unironically support banning public breastfeeding.

"What? No fucking morahn! I don't hate women, I just think that shit should be kept private between mother and child! Alright, that's it, I've had enough!" [leans in]

There was a breastfeeding scene in Amnesia: Rebirth and he freaked out. Started covering his eyes, ackackack, saying the developers are just being disgusting, and it's the equivalent of having torture scenes, just so unnecessary. He's such a clown with his what it means to be a married man schtick.
