If Keemstar was actually serious then Phil would be set. He'd absolutely be making way more than what he makes begging for tips.
It might even help him get "discovered" by a wider audience.
Aaand he fucked it up.
Phil would never, never take a job from someone who slapped him in front of that person’s millions of followers. He would know every single day that the greater level of success he’d be enjoying would all be due to someone greater’s good graces, and more importantly everyone else would know too. I don’t think Keem is too dumb not to know that either, not that it’s a hard conclusion to reach, and I think that’s why he did it. He waved his balls at Phil so everyone watching knew whose were bigger and Phil made the mistake of letting everyone know he looked too.

Phil could have flexed nuts right back by saying he was interested, had some conditions, and wanted (insert high pay here) for each article.
 
I hate to be a dickhole (again) but personally I wouldn't have had "get a job" as the first message in this crowning achievement of autism. Telling DSP to get a job is ridiculous because everyone on this site, including the guests, knows that no job will ever pay him a piece of what he gets in donations from the sweaty, clammy hands of wheelchairs, furries, Br*ts, and degenerate coomers - looking at you Derich, you ricedicked cumbrain future government watchlist superstar.

As stupid as he is, DSP does do one thing right: he doesn't get a job.

I would have said something a bit more cruel like,

"Just a reminder DSP, you have no friends (except us :heart-full:), no family, no land, you're stuck in an unfulfilling lavender marriage, and you're gonna be shaking that beggar's tin cup for another 10,000 pages.

And you suck at video games.
"

No, this is the incorrect way of looking at it and, imo, is the way of looking at it that keeps DSP where he is. He doesn't NEED to make as much money as he makes streaming. His expenses are nowhere near what he brings in. He's broke because of the wasteful and reckless way that he spends money, and that's all enabled by the way in which he makes it. He can blow 1k on WWE because he knows that he can just go on stream the next day and make up some 'emergency' and he'll, more often than not, receive money as a result.

A job where he got paid weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly would put some much needed constraints and consequence on that type of spending. If he blew 1k on WWE and didn't have a paycheck coming for possibly weeks, he'd actually be faced with the consequences that he pretends to be faced with now when he cries poor (losing his house, no money for groceries, etc). That's a lot different situation than one where you have the mentality, and the history to support it, that says there are potentially hundreds of pity bux available to fix whatever hole you dug yourself into as soon as the very next day.

In addition, if he was able to get a more traditional job that offered benefits, that would make up for even more of the difference between the two types of incomes that would be considered 'necessary' because he'd save a ton on things like insurance that are much more expensive due to his tax status as self-employed. He'd also pay those taxes differently, having it withheld instead of the quarterly estimated manner in which he is supposed to now, which he lacks the discipline for.

I'm not saying he'd see any of these potential advantages and pursue another way of making money that would necessarily require curbed spending on his part. He's Phil, he's gonna to do whatever gives him the most immediate gratification. I also don't think he'd last a week in any more traditional work environment, and not a day in one where there was a great deal of interdependence between colleagues. He'd be a nightmare do deal with so, yeah, he should just keep streaming until the wheels come off. I just think that the general view that he shouldn't be getting a different job from the perspective of 'he wouldn't make as much as he does now' is the wrong way to look at it. The vast majority of his problems are BECAUSE of how much money he makes, and the daily, variable way by which he makes it.

When you put it that way, I wonder if each stream is like a little gacha pull in his mind. A $300 stream is like a 5-star gold, a $5 stream is 1-star bronze, and you just... never... know which you're going to get!

I believe that he absolutely does get some sort of addictive-like rush tied into how much he gets per day, just look at his behavior. When he's struggling to bring anything in, he's despondent and testy, and he even looks at donations in terms of the clock and how long it's been since he last received one. In the same stream that he is feeling that way, some significant tip (usually around $25 and up) coming in, regardless of if he even hits the overall goal, causes a complete 180 in terms of his behavior and attitude. Idk the exact game or stream, but it was within the last week and the 'reward' was a camo hat and vest. He was getting nothing and was in his usual sullen mood, then he hit the hat and vest goal I think by virtue of just one tip and he immediately started getting silly and laughing, even having a higher level of interest in the game he was playing. He almost has a look and sense of intoxication about him, it's bizarre.

EDIT: This was the example I had in mind, the change happens at the 9:00 mark. His attitude completely changing is not anything new, but I think this one is a great example of it, and how quickly he actually does transform really struck me when I saw it

Yeah Phil and banter don't go hand in hand.
If he wasn't such a sad cunt he could've trolled Keem so he would have to walk back his comment about having fuck you money while Phil is stuck on the first level.

This back and forth with Keem can only end bad for Phil. If Keem gets annoyed or decides to look into Phil's fuckery, he's done. Keem pointing out the scam would be very bad for Phil.
 
I would like to note that like 30 minutes before I complained about the retards spamming the DSP thread to get it to 10k faster, null implemented the registration date on people's miniprofile beside their posts lol. So clearly while no one thinks this is a good idea its on peoples and his mind enough to display how people are coof era, post merge, bella era refugees. Not to mention how many maga people flooded in before and after registration closed to prevent that. The forums are growing fast, we have to teach the newer users the culture or else their habits define the culture here since for most threads they outnumber existing users by double or triple. It starts with fucking archiving, and putting things in the right thread. @actually is there a thread to put the hundreds of chat screengrabs of things people find slightly interesting but have no bearing on DSP? DSP has just enough shit going on to try to keep up with him but piling through 10+ pages a day that are people still discussing in the thread that which goes in the chat is retarded. I also think that [redacted]-based posting should be restricted to the chat since that is very difficult to read after the fact so he misses most of the discussion related to him. I understand the draw to comment on him, but literally one of the other core things is don't give degenerates the embarrassment or attention fetish feeding they crave.
Poll ideas are welcome.
How about whether he's still going to do the Xmas marathon or not, or how he'll do it since he's not hitting that goal.
Be civil. Don't get angry over DSP. If you need to tell people you're better than someone, you're probably not.
Yeah, I didn't say I was better than them and even in your quote I say "Who the fuck needs to flex their post or lurk history". It's exactly the same line as making fun of people who donate to DSP and say "I've been a fan since man invented fire" or all streamers I guess get these. It's stupid zoomer cringe shit, and doing it to fill posts and make the 10k come faster is just fag tier. The thread is bad enough with people spamming hundreds of chat comments screengrabs (often their own because they sit around in his chat sneak dissing because they're dent-heads too then they come here for backpats and likes).

I'll take the negrating on this shit but it needs to be said, I know I'm not the only one who thinks this.

Please don't tease with such a juicy ''what if'', that would be a VERY welcome early Christmas gift for all us mentally ill basement dwellers if this should happen.

He's just doing what people did during the escort saga. "IF ...." and people ran with it. It was kind of nuts, nearly the entire thread's pop got burned on it because they ran with the hype that he was doing traditional prostitution and not just pathetic version of mail order retard bride.
 
FIFY

Even if this could potentially benefit Phil, I don't think there's a universe in which he would take Keem's deal. His ego is far too great to admit he's essentially the circus clown of the gaming sphere
Oh, I think Phil would absolutely take a very certain kind of job, one where he is answerable to no one, where he is paid exorbitant money and flown in on someone else’s dime, put up on someone else’s dime, and then gets to come in and tell a whole group of people how stupid they are for doing things one way and they should be doing things some other generic way, with no one permitted to gainsay him.

These jobs exist. They’re called consultants, they are infuriating, and they are a plague. Phil would be perfect as one.
 
We have a new thread to shitpost in, and Pigbert is still trapped in his LARP marriage and failing beg-business.
Life is good, brothers and sisters of Tism.
Just a brief correction. His business of begging is going great. His ability to act as an adult with money is what he is failing at miserably. Detractors still win

I stand corrected. Thank you, sir. The distinction is vital.

Pigbert is still trapped in a LARP of a marriage. And though his begging business is going great, he's absolute shit at managing his money.

Yes, that's much better.

That whole ''situation'' happened when I had a bit of a break from DSP so I'm not super familiar with how that went down in detail. But didn't calmer heads here end up calling that situation right? Even before DSP was all smug and shit about the situation.

And just for the record exceptional mail order bride is still prostitution, it's just more a PaaS (Prostitute as a Service) thing than the traditional pay as you go thing.

Good call on consulting.

But who would hire Dave as a consultant? And what could he consult on?
