One thing that someone mentioned earlier about Phil having to stay one week without streaming if he went on a trip: that's so bizarre when you think about it.
The guy has a "job" that allows him to get loads of money while having fun on a trip, but his paranoia is so high that even if he was in another country, he'd still be afraid of doing an IRL stream.
Also, he'd probably have to buy a decent camera to do it, which would eat up some WWE CHAMPIONS pulls, and would also give us some high quality screenshots of his decaying body.
I don't know if it's paranoia, so much as he discovered through doing things, that he doesn't actually enjoy them. For example, he brought back DSP Tries It, sort of, but he made sure it was just him streaming what he always does. He changed nothing about his daily routine besides leave the camera on. I doubt eating on stream for the first time was even the first meal he had in that pigsty of a room. He did this because his old videos were a deviation, and he didn't like them.
Or his staycation, which he didn't like enough to repeat, not even going out with Katherine out of spite. I'm willing to bet it's because he just doesn't like being around people, whether they know what he is or not. He clearly wasn't kidding when he once talked about finding the idea of a "best friend" to be a weird one. He isn't just immature, because children constantly have best buds. He's a sociopath.
Though of course there is admittedly the problem of: Where would he go on Earth that wouldn't seriously break his ability to hold in racist jokes? Not to mention that his transition to being just a hang out streamer isn't happening, ever, because Phil doesn't rant during his pre-streams just to avoid playing a game, and he doesn't play a game after a break after his rants just because that's what he wants to do. He rambles to get stuff out because that's one of his vices, and the rest of the time he has nothing to say, so there needs to be a distraction.
That doesn't work when you're walking around Bangkok with a camera like CB Media does (travel channel that mostly revolves around the car scene in Thailand). Suffice to say, Phil isn't a streamer because he's apt for it, it's because no one will give him money to do anything else.
Just wait a few years until he simply can no longer hide his baldness and the tip goal will be reversed: Starts the stream with a wig/hat, tip goal to remove it and expose his shame to self-humiliate.
Think it's extreme ? Just look at him in his tard outfits and tell me we're not already there.
I'm doubtful because Phil doesn't seem to feel uncomfortable playing dress up, at least not to the degree we can obviously expect him to experience at the mere thought of acknowledging that he has no hair on the top of his oddly-shaped head.
Also, if he did that, his head would be exposed constantly, and he would need a way to avoid that just like he does when he doesn't feel like wearing a vest (especially the platinum one).
