This is one of the most obnoxious things he does, and that's saying something, when we're talking about a guy who enjoys snorting and throat-clearing right into the mic.
But at the same time, it shows what he really is, which is a spoiled child in a grumpy old man's body. Never lose sight of that as you get irritated by Phil, the fact that he isn't able to hide because he's incompetent at it. Take solace in it, it's the one saving grace of following the life and times of the pigroach.
Right before he left for his break: ''What can I do about people leaving?''.
Are you for real bitch? It's your FUCKING JOB to entertain people.
Credit where it's due, at least he's asking the question instead of making a bitchy statement along the lines of "Time for my break, and for half the audience to leave.", followed by a big sigh and possibly an eye roll.
Though obviously this isn't leading anywhere productive or pleasant, and because Phil is Phil, and on top of that, his audience is not and will not ever again consist of more than tards who watch him for no reason and detractors who want to laugh at him. There's NOTHING he can do to keep people around that involves anything he WANTS to do. Only the stuff he adamantly refuses to do, for the same reason he refuses to accept what his audience forever consists of.
I dont have the source here but i swear he said at least one time that his only job was to play the game and have fun
I can say this, he constantly excuses himself from a challenge by stating that he wants to have a good time, and generally acts like putting his enjoyment aside for sake of a good stream is not even a concept to him. Why do I get the feeling this attitude helped cost him all of his 9-5s, BTW? Or at the very least, helped cements his decision to (poorly) play video games and be a jackass on camera for a living until the day he dies?
Oh, and he did once bitch about low tips by claiming it was "kind of his job" to get them. Mask fully off on that one.
He never sincerely asks what he can do for his audience to entertain them, only what will get them to tip.
It's like he's TRYING to prove our case against him as a mobile gaming addict. Who the fuck else thinks only of tips while being a full-time streamer who ALSO gets monthly checks?
