DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[San Dimas High School]

Does anyone else hope his consoles brick at the same time from being left one all the time?

They'd be more likely to brick if he was turning them on and off every day.

What is the most accurate estimate on how much money DSP has made in total since he began streaming full-time in 2010?

I'm asking for all the money he has pulled in since then,be it from donations,ad revenue,selling merchandise,parterships/sponsorships,scamming his parents,debts forgiven etc.

You can estimate his old income based on his views. John Rambo said phil made 2 dollars per 1000 views. Social blade has his channel at 400 million so let's say he made 300 million views at 2 dollars CPM. He would have made like 600k or so. Then in the dono era Actually could probably estimate how much he's made.

I think at his peak he was making something like $3~400 grand a year, so probably 2~3 million over the course of his entire career.

I think he made like 2-300k initially in 2010-2011 but then his contract got adjusted. I think you're on the high side it was probably more like 600-700k. Then in 2015 his income significantly decreased until 2017 when he began to make good money again, over 100k.

Imagine making that much in a decade and all you have to show for it is a middle unit condo that you still owe money on, and a mid spec Corolla that you still owe money on.

Yup, always amazes me how much money he made and yet has jack shit to show for it all. Combined with absolutely nothing saved up for the future.

But what about those pictures of sweaty men? Phil is a pioneer in investing in jpegs, he should declare himself the "pioneer of NFTs" the same way he calls himself the inventor of let's players and the coiner of the term "playthrough."

I know the dollar ain’t what it used to be but it’s difficult for me to conceive of having earned that much money and having nothing of substance to show for it. He has no kids so it’s not as though he’s saving for college. He hasn’t even paid off his house, oblivious of how much that would save him on interest per year. He doesn’t own his car. His entire empire is a mountain of video games he won’t ever return to unless he’s paid enough and whatever ridiculous vault of gacha he’s accumulated. And I’d never judge someone for spending their money on what makes them happy, but Phil is clearly not happy and hasn’t been for a very long time.

He’s just a sieve. Money comes and goes right through him to the same half dozen enterprises every week.

DSP had a major meltdown cause his chat isn't allowed to talk unless it's to him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ki8g9GvXDIs&t=31s

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he also receive around 500,000$ total in the form of forgiven debts as part of his successful bankruptcy fraud?

 

[Wasabi Panda]

This video is golden and peak DSP. He assaults an NPC because they are in a doorway instead of waiting for them to move, his follower aggros everyone (More on Barbas later), He lowers the difficulty twice, and blames autosaves for 'not working' as if autosaves are supposed to save when he wants them to, not how they are set up in the settings like a retard.

Oh and why does he have Barbas? Probably because Barbas is an immortal dog follower (For the time you have him) and he can have him alongside a human companion, meaning he won't have to do any fighting himself.

Nothing is his fault and it's the devs fault for not updating an 11 year old game to cater to retard supremo here.

late to this but...

twice, dude lowered the difficulty of skyrim twice? The game that of the SFW mods non-graphical mods, difficulty mods are (or were) the most popular from specific things like combat and dragons to overall ones like flat difficulty increase and survival mods to complete overhauls and rebalancing...he lowered the difficulty, twice.

He did this cause he attacked a civilian NPC in skyrim and the town turned on him which is "an issue with the engine" according to him, something people do for shits and giggles to see if they can clear out a town. Something that gives you a bounty and there's a cheive for having a bounty in all major cities at once.

a civilian flagged NPC being attacked by the PC would agro the guards in skyrim is a bug? what? no skyrim netcode is lying and became rollback for one swing it rewound him not doing a swing but he meant to hit E (no clue what talk/use is on console) and it rewound the game and made him hit M1 (attack)?

Jesus phil just be an idle game streamer but even those might "cheat" and be "buggy"

EDIT - and something that amazes me about his halo gameplay, how bad his aim is WITH aim assist. Halo aim assist tracks and locks on, like you have to be in the general area of where you want to hit and the game does the rest.

All because of his lack of patience.

Get out of the door and you will be okay.

We figured out Phil's CPM in 2021 had to be around $1.5-$2.

Before the Adpocalypse, CPMs were much higher. A conservative estimate would be double that in 2021. He had partnerships like Machinima. He wasn't relying on videos from 5+ years ago for many of his views.

Phil has probably made at least $1M in his career.

 

[Zappin’ And Spazzin’]

His channel has organic growth dood, the sub count is going up!

We've long known that Dave has the gambler mentality of hyper focusing on the peaks while ignoring the long term downward trend that they're on.

Friendly reminder that Phil (statistically) depends on whales more than every other streamer on the internet, including e-thots like Pokimane.
That’s why paying attention to his viewership makes you a toxic asshole, but you should be looking at his tips and subs.
It’s also a bannable offense to simply talk about how much “support” his fans have actually given him. Kind of pokes a hole into his whole victim narrative.

 

[Kaisaku Duze]

What makes it even more ridiculous is that building a PC is super easy,I had no idea of how to build a PC, but I was able to build one after reading an article and watching 2 videos,there are websites like pcpartpicker that tell you if something is compatible or not and how much power does you PC need,grandma could teach herself how to build a PC in 2 hours at most but Phillip Burnell with a 13 year legacy can't use a computer because he is so tech inept that he doesn't turn off his electronics.

Phil's the type of guy who boots up Windows on a fresh build and then wonders why he can't connect to the internet to install drivers

Interesting that DSP’s monthly channel views have been on a steady decline despite him focusing exclusively on YouTube these days

There were just no major releases which put the butts in seats, dood.
Just wait for the new super hardcore begging gaming season in February

$500k number was his TOTAL debt (credit cards + mortgages) without subtracting out the equity he had in his properties, the claim that he discharged all of it in the fraudulent bankruptcy is a mistake that keeps getting repeated here + on Twitter.

The bankruptcy fraud discharged his roughly $131k in credit card debt and $10k-40k on the underwater CT mortgage (the property appreciated a lot between the start of the foreclosure and when the bank seized it so the exact amount discharged depends on the date you "look at) for a total of about $150k. The remaining $350k and change is the total value of his WAKhando, and even that is misleading because the mortgage is worth about $240k - if he sold the property today he'd walk away with $100k and change in profits, not $350k in debt.

This is just *chef's kiss*. I always laugh when I think about how much money Philbert has blown and how. It's so mind numbingly funny he was winning at life and he threw it all away.

I've said it before and I'll say it again; I cannot wait until the Street Fighter gatcha game comes to the USA. This will be the thing that finally breaks him IMO. He's going to be whaling day one to get to the top and stay there and you can all bet that he will not throw the "oppourtunity" away to be number one in a SF game.

 

[Cyber Bowling]

You guys think if kat would leave or like die or something, dsp would go back to the old dicks and balls HAMAMAMA big titties version?
Or he would say he matured and wont do that or any romance missions? Or maybe he would get another maid before he transformed back to his true self?

He's still all about dick and balls. I think he'd continue to be weird about romance. It's the same reason DSP refuses to act scared in games, or really show any sort of story investment. He doesn't want to be seen as a nerd. With the romance stuff specifically, I think it's based on the 80's trope of basement dwelling nerds who never had a girlfriend, but fall in love with someone from a game or build a robot girlfriend or whatever. DSP can't differentiate between himself and the character in the game and thinks everyone has that issue. So to him, pursuing a romance in game means you the player are trying to fall in love with an NPC, presumably because you're a lonely loser.
