DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[blahblahblah678]

I imagine some autist will come up with a chrome extension that will allow you to track super thanks much the same way they found ways around YouTube’s dislike censoring.

 

[SaidNoOneEver]

Good point. It wouldn't make sense to do that but his whales aren't known for having much sense in the first place. Maybe some of them don't like having their personal information given to him but still want to give him money.

DSP stands to lose money with his cripples having the option to tip on ancient videos. The only scenario that makes sense is if a child has a parents card attached to their YT account but no Paypal account. How many of those can there be? One or two JPG pulls worth a month?

He really hasn't thought this through. At all.

EDIT: Another possible scenario: someone who has never heard of him stumbling across an old video and liking it so much they just have to give him money somehow right then. Not gonna happen but I imagine DSP imagining there's a whole untapped revenue stream there that he's missing out on. IMO he'll still lose more than he gains when the whales all decide to give their monthly tithe by trying that new feature to make DSP proud instead of just tipping thru PP like usual.

I still can’t believe Phil legit did that & I can’t believe he still has fans after he said that! Like how could you be a fan of such a horrible person….let alone be married to him.

Honestly, I know some see a sense of nostalgia and grew up watching him. I didn't. I saw him as a massive prick back in his CTkhando and he's a massive prick now. I'll admit, I honestly thought he was a character, but to find out VERY quick that was honestly him. However, I guess there are some dent-heads who still think Phil is some kind of character and not an actual shyster, or they're so deep into their own cognitive dissonance, they keep believing everything Phil says like it's the word of God. Now, some break the pignoisis and move on with their lives. However, to quote P.T. Barnum "There's a sucker born every minute."

As far as being married to the pigroach, that's easy: Kat had nowhere else to go. If the rumors are true of her mom being homeless in Michigan, Kat has NOWHERE to go if things go south. She (Kat) is stuck with Phil. What's she gonna do? Live in a van with Jenna, while giving handy's to john's for pizza? She burned EVERY bridge in Michigan and she has no home to go to. Kat lives on survival mode and is basically using Phil for free room and board. She's a grifter just like Phil. They're two grifters who are only into their own selfish reasons and can give two fucks about each other, as long as one keeps giving what they want. Phil gets some twisted form of companionship and food, Kat gets free room and board.

If Phil wants 300/day minimum and someone offered him a deal and said
"Phil, I'll give you 1800 dollars for the week but you can't ask for tips,subs,superchats, money, or any "positivity"- just play the game and enjoy streaming for one week"

I bet he couldn't last the week. I can promise he would slip up out of habit.

(And for anyone curious on the logistics the money could sit in an escrow account released at the end of day 6 with all conditions being satisfied or returned if not met)

DSP stands to lose money with his cripples having the option to tip on ancient videos. The only scenario that makes sense is if a child has a parents card attached to their YT account but no Paypal account. How many of those can there be? One or two JPG pulls worth a month?

You're right about everything except that Phil does not see this as an alternative to current contributions, he sees it as an addition. In his mind, there is no 'loss', there is just gain.

On one hand, he has long operated on this myth of 'The Youtube Audience'. He has repeatedly openly appealed to them when support on streams has been good but he needed someone to beg at for more (implying he perceives them as a relatively untapped source of money), and recently did this again in addition to asking for them to like his videos and start to comment again. He is likely hoping that sticking a button to push for recognition on the videos they're watching will net new people that were not otherwise tipping, and were never going to tip. Phil will open every avenue of support (members, tips, superchats, Patreon...) and then try to elevate all the numbers. Any time a goal is hit on one, he switches to the other. More avenues means more targets means more money, even if YT gets a bigger cut of the new stuff.

On the other, he sees it as another avenue for current whales to give more money that can be easily hidden. It's becoming apparent that, be it via direct contact or not, Phil has a batch of whales that are aware how much needs to be done via sleight of hand. The sock accounts aren't just to protect them, they like that Phil pretends to not know who is tipping (totally unnecessary, but they must understand that this is to create an illusion of multiple supporters). They fork over a fortune to hit his member goals when he would get more money if they just tipped (meaning they understand that the member numbers and events are needed to create the illusion that he has multiple supporters). They tip behind the scenes and allow Phil to conceal amounts or messages, and they're fine with him stalling on counting their tips (meaning that many of them understand that he wants to hide money and support him in doing that). There are whales that are complicit in that they understand that the scams aren't just about the money, but Phil's narratives and sleazy moves to net more support from passing idiots and create faux legitimacy.

To that end, the Super Thanks would give the whales a chance to throw money at Phil in order to 'own' us by making it harder to track his income, while also making it look like Phil has indeed had secret popularity on Youtube this whole time. They will do this in addition to tipping as they currently do, not as a replacement for it. This is remarkably stupid, but we are dealing with some of the most warped whales we have ever seen.

I bet he couldn't last the week. I can promise he would slip up out of habit.

I think if you could somehow keep a tally, almost 1/3 of what Phil says in a given week is likely directly related to money. If he couldn't beg, there would be significantly higher amounts of dead air - it's not just habit, it's one of the only things he can talk about. Begging and obsessing over money is unironically up there with food, booze, and Champions as one of Phil's few hobbies.

 

[Tropico 2: Port Snort]

I'm not sure superthanks tracking will matter much in the long run anyway. The shameless, attention whore whales will avoid it precisely because no one's gonna fucking see it, and DSP's ego is way too big to allow tractor superthanks. He'll delete them in a gin-fueled haze then spin it as a new tip incentive. I guess tracking it would be another nutritious source of salt intake.

Actually, does anyone know if a channel can keep the money if they hide or delete a superthanks? Wouldn't surprise me if YouTube allowed shitting in your viewers' mouth to that degree.

 

[Agent Proper]

I am interested if you have to display the Superthanks. You have to have comments enabled and as we know Phil has to read every single comment before he shows it off. Hmmm can you edit a Superthanks as well. YouTube is trying to encourage people to have certain practices and they seem to not like it when you say mean words like retard, faggot.

 

[FlappyBat]

I imagine some autist will come up with a chrome extension that will allow you to track super thanks much the same way they found ways around YouTube’s dislike censoring.

This might seem like a nit pick, but I've seen a few comments like this. That extension works because YouTube hasn't killed api access to dislikes. They know it's out there, they let it stay out there, and they plan on killing api access and so that extension as well in the upcoming months.

It's not pulling one over on YouTube, it's running to the one area the slow rollout hasn't hit yet.

I was wondering the same thing. I assume they would work like superchats. I believe even if you delete the message you keep the money. The name staying is probably just an artifact of how chat works, so I doubt even the name would stay for the superthanks. Thanks for the money dummy.

 

[Need Help With Tips]

If Phil wants 300/day minimum and someone offered him a deal and said

He wouldn't even accept that, if you offered it to him on his stream he'd do his autistic rant about the sandwich shop not closing after one day of good business. You could double it up and offer him $3600 for the week and he still wouldn't take it.
And the funniest part is he wouldn't even be "closing his business" that week either, he'd still be streaming, but he knows that feigning distress and whining to his paypigs is the only thing that actually brings in tips.

 

[hell is other robots]

You're right about everything except that Phil does not see this as an alternative to current contributions, he sees it as an addition. In his mind, there is no 'loss', there is just gain.

Could he be right though? How many viewers is he getting per stream? 200-500? Looking at his Youtube channel, his videos get 500-12,000 views. per and outside of outliers like GTA, the majority of his videos are at sub-2K views. Social blade shows his recent view counts at 17,000-28,000 views per day. Even if all of his stream audience also watch his on demand content, there is still a sizable percentage of viewers watching his videos (for some reason). How sticky those viewers are and how willing they'd be to give a Super Thanks is probably some fraction of 1% (wild ass guess) of those views, he could double his non-Streaming Youtube revenue. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic with using a minimum Super Thanks @$2.00 for every 300 views.

"As little as a dollar helps......"

How much do you want to bet this fat fuck is gonna come back begging hard tomorrow after reeling in more than $400 in tips alone today?

detox day tomorrow, his day off

 

[Karlcaust History Museum]

Not much gold in today's wrap (nov 30'th), mostly just DSP lying to himself about November being a good month and some paranoia about Metroid Dread stream support and viewership dropping after part 1, which is bound to happen with any game he plays.

DSP 'Daily Wrap' (30'th November 2021)

Titled 'The Daily Wrap: Nov. 30, 2021 - Thanks For a Great Month! See You Thursday!' on DSP's channel, in this installment DSP lies to himself about November...

I know I'm late, but from the article about pigs playing videogames:

Ooooh, Khet...

 

[Big Brown Schlub]

A pity they just re-closed the borders this week too. Before that it would have at least confirmed if he was jabbed or not; they'd totally be infected if the Burnell family went to Asia.

I'd love for a whale to gift him a trip to Japan, and then Phil cashes the tickets out for Jpg moneys. Funny enough that the excuse "Japan is closed this month," works.

Forget even that. Does anyone seriously believe that Phil could save up $8k for a 7 day vacation in Japan? That cuts into his gacha money. And for anyone who's already been in Nippon, yes I know you spend less than half of that on an average 7 day trip to Japan. But this is Phil we're talking about, he's gonna go to Tokyo, the most expensive city, he's gonna pay out the ass for a fancy hotel room because he'll spend most of his time there rather than being out and about and enjoying the sights and there's a ton to see in Tokyo. Thinking about it, there'll be a lot of pulling for sweaty boys when he'll be laying on his hotel room bed so up the trip expenses to $12k. Along with eating out, he's gonna spend a ridiculous amount of money on ordering takeout for overpriced fast food, probably just McDonalds and/or KFC because God forbid he tries out one of the local fast food places, he'll conclude that the Big Mac with teriyaki sauce is authentic Japanese enough (but don't forget natto isn't an authentic Japanese dish because it's "soy food" since Soy is now a nation apparently). He's gonna go on at least two trips to トータルワイン to tank up on Tanqueray. Khet's gonna make him pay a shitton of money for various souvenirs, fake aluminum zinc alloy katanas, mangoo and other weebshit. Then he'll become the walking ATM at a local arcade because he'll try showing those slant-eyed woodwind instrument playing fucks what TRUE Top Ranked North American Super Turbo skills are like.

Any other expenses I missed?

 

[UsedUp]

The fact alone of DSP needing another Avenue for his whales to drop cash on him is mental. Oh you tipped? It'd be nice if you super chatted. You super chatted? It'd be nice if you subscribed to my channel at the highest tier. You subscribed as well!? Here's Patreon! -when he had tee spring- you pledged to patreon? Buy my merch! He literally exhausts every form of giving him money past and present. Who the fuck is that much of a superfan to give money to everything!? -we know the answer- as usual, it's never enough!

It's not just the amount such a trip would cost but that vacation would mean a week away from streaming. He didn't even take a day off for Thanksgiving. He needs that money, he really does. For bills.

Yesterday superchats.

what's extra is that nobody wants to give him money to begin with, except for a couple dudes who give it all to him

it's so fucked

 

[Derich 2nd of coomland]

It is retarded for sure.

But if a person is willing to drop hundreds if not thousands on DSP of all people, that person is so monumentally shit at managing money that they don't deserve to have any of it.

And I'm more than OK with them forking it over so DSP can slowly kill himself live online for our amusement. I hope he kicks up the bleeding of the tards another notch, we can't have it so TimboTard is the only paypig who has declared bankruptcy.

 

[SomeoneLikeMYFATHER]

Phil kind of out of nowhere started this whole “the prestream is where I update you all on gaming news” but in reality, he’s the same sheeple he claims to call other people out for because he gets his “news” from Twitter, which is all just outrage culture. Just a bunch of poorly written articles designed to piss you off and garner a reaction, and he’s biting the bait the hardest.
