DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[Michael Richards]

I think he'll be lucky if that's his future, and even if it isn't, if his destiny is to die very old, if he's going to live to see another forty years, that's not good for him at all. The most merciful end to his streaming career, and his life, that he could possibly feasibly have at this point, is to die of a heart attack in his sleep one night. I'm not kidding, he should find that preferable next to the alternative of dying an old man, because since he's not going to stop whaling out on bullshit like gacha and doordash, he can't afford that and the bare essentials without begging six days a week, every week, every year, for the next forty years.

Think about that. Assume he's not going to keel over from some health problem he brought on himself, assume luck plans to keep him around long enough to see the passing of most other lolcows. Assume he really is going to out live them all. That means another forty years or so of wasting all his extra money, and having to be able to beg six days a week in order to keep that going without more problems than he already is used to.

The odds of him pulling that off without a hitch go down the older he gets, because no matter what luck prevents him from experiencing, it can't save him from the impact of time on his body. It would've done it by now, because he already looks horribly older than he actually is.

thats what i think his real plan is but i dont think his ability to destroy himself physically can keep up with his ability to destroy himself financially. even if his dad has left him a multimillion $ inheritance somehow this guy would blow it all within 3 years.

Someone pointed had pointed out that Tevin may have been stressed out in general for different reasons, including declining viewership on Twitch, so I was curious and looked him up on https://twitchtracker.com/almighty_tevin/statistics and was...concerned with the numbers I saw:

View attachment 2851191

I hadn't really checked out his content since he left YouTube (I stay the fuck away from Twitch, and only watch one person who streams MTG there) but if these numbers are accurate he's down 65% in average viewership over the last ~1.5 years -- if he earns his income purely through content creation then that is obviously problematic.

legit made me laugh, guess he better start covering phil again. like phil said. hes only a content creator because of him xD

 

[TheGoutburglar]

Lolcows in general have some sort of resilience normal people don't that results in them living long and miserable lives in spite of the destruction they inflict on their bodies with poor diet and awful lifestyle. Ethan Ralph mixes liquor with xanax, Tommy Tooter eats actual trash, and yet they didn't croak yet against all odds for example.
Living long doesn't mean their lives become better, so the Pigroach will probably live to see the consequences of his "skill" in manipulating tards waning and his addictions finally causing enough harm to his finances, with begging no longer being enough to get away with it.

And even if Phil is aware of this (which he isn't, his belief in being unstoppable is steeped in something else entirely), it's not about to put some fear in him and get him to stop being a pigroach. It'll scare him into ignoring it, if he isn't already.

Though in a decade or so, even he is going to have difficulty doing that. I doubt he'll do anything, but if he does, it'll be too late. Shit, it already is. I've said before that him fighting his addiction, alone, isn't likely to work even if he tried. Stronger men than him have failed.

thats what i think his real plan is but i dont think his ability to destroy himself physically can keep up with his ability to destroy himself financially. even if his dad has left him a multimillion $ inheritance somehow this guy would blow it all within 3 years.

You mean his plan is to die young? Doubtful. Phil is way too sensitive to people's opinions in spite of despising them to voluntarily, willfully, drink and sloth himself into an early grave and do so with a smile.

Not to mention that nothing says he has an endgame for anything, not even "winning" against us detractors. What has him feeling unstoppable is continuing to be alive and a presence on the internet, don't forget that. He is not accounting for his own mortality, that fact that one day he will die, just like everybody does, or for how long it may be until that day comes. His victory is daily, not at the end of a long war that rages for years, in which he ever so slowly works things in his favor, leading to a conclusion that works for him.

Suffice to say, he's no more thinking so far ahead here than he is on anything else.

I swear, sometimes it feels like the simulation is aware of DSP and just as much a detractor as any of us. lol

well if dsp has proved anything its that you only need a few dedicated paypigs to make 150k a year

 

[Malcolm Tucker]

I put blackout curtains in my bedroom recently to make my room darker, because I work during nighttime and sleep during the day. It cost me 40 bucks for a curtain rod and curtains, and 5 minutes of time setting them up.

You're not accounting for the cost of the 2 plane tickets to fly his mum and dad out to fit the curtain.

Seems like the NYE stream was his realization that if he doesn't keep up with DSP content, people lose interest in him.

 

[Paladin Derich]

This is why no one actually fucks with Phil. Too busy blowing themselves over following the right or wrong detractor

If someone used jordie trolling tactics on phil, the pigroach would use it to fuel his victim narrative and the dentheads would eat it up. Pigroach is more entertaining when funds start running thin.

 

[daBonehead]

This just in 343 is lying about lag in Halo Infinite according to DSP "and that's kinda dishonest". Either the connection information is lying, or maybe Phil just maybe there is no lag and you're living in Copesville. One of these seems more likely than the other.

 

[NursezillaX]

This post is so fucking true.

Pargon has it completely right: listening to Phil regularly (even ironically) is probably one of the most toxic and mentally damaging activities an individual can subject themselves to.

It’s been really hard for me to even enjoy Phil content lately because listening to a delusional, entitled hermit who’s closed himself off into a virtual echo chamber is fucking maddening. You’re basically listening someone say the most outlandish, disgusting, self-serving tripe on a public forum and there’s no way to legitimately challenge this person about their values or what they stand for. He’s rendered his First Amendment rights into a virtual concentration camp.

Phil has effectively closed off all avenues to receive any sort of feedback. You either have to pay him to get a point across where he’ll insult you then ban you thus preventing you from answering him (plus don’t give him any fucking money in then first place) or you have to start making videos about him and that’s just too much work and dedication to shit on this fat loser anyways.

ShinkoFleur and Peace are two detractors i sometimes listen to. They have their own brand of commentary and it’s mostly driven by anger and exasperation, accurately reflecting what most people feel when they listen to DSP: irritation, disbelief, anger, and the urge to tell him why he’s wrong. But you effectively can’t and there’s no reason to. So you just end up ruining your day for no reason.

I don’t know how Tevin has watched Phil since 2014 and done 10 hour+ videos about him without affecting his mental health. This meltdown demonstrated that it’s impossible to remain totally neutral watching Phil as a regular and dedicated activity.

Watching Phil ironically and walking away unscathed has always been a really delicate and difficult line to walk without getting too emotionally involved.

As Pargon said, people like DSP are called toxic for a reason and his words and actions are akin to drinking mental poison.

If it weren’t for KF, I would have stopped watching any Phil-related shenanigans long ago.

The individuals who actively watch the streams and summarize his bullshit are the real unsung heroes of this forum.

Yeah, this 100%. When I start getting truly pissed off at DSP, the reason for it is usually the fact that there is no ability to challenge what he says in any meaningful way. Imagine if he had to defend his BS in a format where he had to face video and quoted examples of his lies and hypocrisy and have to actually respond to it and defend himself. People are dunking on Tevin and whatnot, but he has a pretty impressive grasp of DSP's history and can bring out a lot of shit with pretty accurate recall. Funnily enough, that was always my frustration at times when watching him too because he'd bring out all this evidence of how shitty Phil has been, but none of it could ever be used to actually make him have to defend against it in any way beyond him just quoting something Tevin or some other detractor has said, saying it's untrue, and that being the end of it.

When you see how much he's completely shut out any means to challenge him in a way that he has to respond to and can just lie with the abandon that he does, if gets aggravating. Getting pissed at the complete lack of accountability that he has to face and answer to for such a massive history of lies and double talk that he profits so much off of is pretty much always the reason I have to step away from him for a bit.

"I don't want a gaming PC. Why would I want a gaming PC?" - DSP, the 'true gamer'.

 

[LolCowCentral]

DSP income and whaling:​

DSP income 2021:

1. Twitch $19,655 (13,20%)
2. Patreon $4,266 (2,86%)
3. YouTube $46,087 (30,97%)
4. Tips $78,794 (52,97%)

Total $148,802

So how whale dependent is DSP? And what is a whale?
For this I have decided that anybody tipping $170 or more is a whale, why that amount? I just took the price of subscribing to the medium Netflix service for a year and used that.

Is that a good measure? Fucked if I know but that is what I'm going with until we can all agree what defines a whale.

So. Whales tipped a grand total of $43,928 in 2021. That is 28,5% of his total income, and 55,75% of all tips.

And grand total of 62 people made this whale list, but as we all know the vortex is full of socks and LARP'ers so the real number is most likely less.

This is pretty much just a long winded and tismy way to support the idea that DSP has pretty much maxed out his current whales, thus I would argue that if we get gifted memberships on YouTube DSP will need to get new whales or take a hit in his tip income

Edit 1: Again any mistakes are mine, and mine alone. Tips tracker rocks.

Edit 2: Graphs 'n shit:

@pieceofpeace

We know his monthly bills now. When you subtract the true bills he has

1) mortgage
2) taxes
3) car
4) health insurance
5) car insurance
6) phone bill
7) utilities (electric/water/trash)
internet bill
9) Let's say 600 a month for groceries is fair (we know he spends like 1250 by for this exercise let's be fair)
10) Let's alot 100 a month for pet food/litter

After you add those up and subtract it from his annual income (minus tax and withholdings) what is his total discretionary income? What is the amount of money he squandered away that he could have had in savings ?

Just ignore the income bits. He is pretty flush with cash...well he would be if not for gin and WWE

"I don't want a gaming PC. Why would I want a gaming PC?" - DSP, the 'true gamer'.

Any decent streamer plays multiplatform games on pc for best quality and performance.

Only a piece of shit lazy motherfucker like dsp wouldnt.

 

[Balr0g]

"I don't want a gaming PC. Why would I want a gaming PC?" - DSP, the 'true gamer'.

To be fair what exactly would he play on a gaming PC? A lot of games are usually on all platforms (yes I know quality but Phil is a consumer so I doubt he ants to fiddle with the settings should the game overload his stream). Or could you imagine Phil playing a serious racing sim or a RTS strategy game or economy simulation game since those are games usually not on a console. Heck I would love to see Phil playing Landwirtschaftsimulator but i guess his farm would fail within days.

The fact he has no real debunking skill also shows the lies are already there, we know the truth, it's just got to come from the Horse or in this case the Pig, but he won't ever do that, especially the scribbled out form that was his "finances" and didn't even show them up means he successfully used a smokescreen to try and at least prove to his dentheads that he does have "bills"

The accountable part is spot on from you as well, that will never appear while he has momentum over the Whales and his income is stable, it is haemorrhaging, slowly much like DTRH said those years ago well before the Bankruptcy but it is still in decline

Tee-Spring wants nothing to do with him, Twitch did the best decision after Phil's personal contact was fired and broke off his partnership and now YT is stalling or just won't utilize Super Thanks on his channel, to me the accountability has to come from the companies Phil uses or at least use a utility to stream and earn, and as much as said that the companies doing it is a bit sad, at least they watch him and possibly watch his other content just in case any shenanigans happen

Look at KF for example and @Piece of Peace (Big Ups btw) to analyze tips tracking and his expenses, that is at least showing a trend that people do watch what he does and says and at least make an archive as a case to look back through history and present as legacy evidence that it happened

It is a sort of irony to impose a sense of accounting of words and actions to Phil, but for someone as prominent and as much as a public figure who does it 2x a day 6x a week, people will watch and watch carefully they do..

So basically he would have 70k in the bank (roughly) if he didn't have WWE champions. Wow. I knew it was bad but that's bad.

 

[Anal birth]

So basically he would have 70k in great bank roughly if he didn't have WWE champions. Wow. I knew it was bad but that's bad.

It really makes you start to wonder how much he's spent on other games, too. If you add all those microtransactions together its probably more than double what he's spent on WWE champions.

 

[King of Hateful Slurs]

All the Tevin discussion after he had one bad stream was pretty cringe.

Perfect example of what I said he is never allowed to be criticized for whatever reason but you can shit on any other "detractor" all you want. Really makes ya think. Also stream privated now looool

 

[Piece of Peace]

It really makes you start to wonder how much he's spent on other games, too. If you add all those microtransactions together its probably more than double what he's spent on WWE champions.

I'm pretty convinced that he's thrown away at least six figures on various gacha shite throughout the years at this point.

Again, DSP lives within a hell of his own making.

Someone please put Phil in this exact same outfit.
