Phil could do it

Massive X.
I could believe one of the dents bots for him with or without his knowledge. At least one has a regular tithe setup in paypal, several others do free web and graphic design, and another has viewbotted detractors as was said earlier. They are proven cucks. It doesn't have to be on his machine, the bots prolly simply arrive and leave when the stream goes up or down automatically and is just a background task on a machine anywhere in the world.
 
I'm not going to say he is or isn't using viewbots because that kind of thing is out of my realm of knowledge but I will say this: people using his ego for why he wouldn't viewbot is laughable to me. His whole shtick is that he's a total fucking loser that is trying to craft the image of being successful. Viewbotting makes perfect sense for him. I mean, the guy has a fake wife so he can look like a mature adult so I'm not sure why viewbotting is out of the question.
 
That's what I'm thinking. However, if it was a certain faggot that posts here, you'd think he'd buy enough to give Phil a ridiculous number like thousands of viewers.
They want to make it somehow believable (800 viewers vs. 8,000 viewers), because not only do these degenerate faggots need to fill up his wallet, they also need to make sure his ego is satiated and give him pats on the head telling him he's a good boy and he's successful.
 
Does anybody know how soon after he boots up his stream viewers start showing up? Sure we all know about his schedule so that could explain how they all know exactly when to show up but it would be interesting if there are any regular spikes in viewership at certain points when people are tuning in to the beginning of his streams each day. It should be pretty easy to recognize an instant 100 or 200 jump in viewers.

I would guess if there are viewbots being used its probably only 100 or less, at least for the night streams. Some of the dead night streams get less than 200 people so there couldn't be too many bots in those.
 
The beg tweets work sometimes, but it's become far more common for them to not produce major results (i.e., he still ends up under $50 on a stream, especially at night).
Oh fuck me my bad mate, cheers for that. I'm following less and I've noticed it work the times I've watched. Glad it's not a sure thing.

Honestly this. If his views suddenly go up by 100 in an instant that would be an interesting giveaway.

I don't follow too closely, but if I'm around at night, in particular, I stop by here to see if he's beg tweeting. There was one day/night where he busted out 3 or 4 in 24 hours. It was sublime.

FYI I usually timestamp beg tweets on the spreadsheet (Tips (Raw) sheet) comparative to when tips come in so it should be pretty easy to measure their effectiveness (at least recently).
 
I learned of the abortion stuff from a DSP thread. What is my life. Anyways I am so happy for Elden Ring to be from what I can tell close to done with. I have never cared about the game at all, did not even know about it until it was everywhere. Phil has seemingly dragged the game out longer then everyone else. I want to never hear about it again.
I should add to this, I am sure it is a great game or it would not have blown up in the ways it did, but the game has the stink of DSP on it like crazy for me now. I will never not think of Phil when I hear it. He made this game his identity basically for like two months. Nothing against the game or devs or anyone who likes it. It's more a phil thing and kinda a me thing.

The day stream ones usually work but the night ones are a crapshoot. Like yesterday he got $27 on the night stream so he'll have to eat a bologna sandwich today like the poors do ❤️
 
  1. Who the fuck is Phil fooling, telling people that he didn't look up guides. We all know he does. Dude gets his ass reemed by Malenia for the first couple of tries. Then by the next stream he just so happens to bring a fire weapon and knows that she has a low resistance to it? Does he really mean for us to believe that under the haze of nightly gin and liquor that he somehow now knows the bosses elemental weakness? He's not fooling anyone, so why even ride this lie out.
So you don't use summons, Phil. And? That doesn't make you a better player, because you're still defaulting to the same boring Jump+R2 strategy, so you didn't learn anything. No one is going to give you props for that, especially since you've proven that you suck at the rest of the game without summons.

The only thing that "came through" is that Phil's Elden Ring playthrough is probably some of the most boring and more drawn out playthrough of the game that I've seen. I actually hope he doesn't do a redemption run of this game because watching him play this game is pain. Not even restreams do it justice, and that says a lot.
He even began reading a guide mid stream at one point. He can't deny reading guides and genuinely believes that people would be okay with it. The only reason he doesn't get shit for things like this is because the only people who watch him do not care. He could literally run his streams without him there and the gaggle of wheelchairs would still do the same thing and his whales would still be waiting on a begging tweet.
 
If it were one of the PayPig's using the view bots they would have to live close to Phil depending on the outage issues or internet congestion in the area. Depending on how large the outage is will depend on how many people are effected and viewing DSP's stream.

According to the COMCAST outage tracker located here:


There were no issues in Washington State yesterday so this tells me one of two things.

1.) The issue was Phil's setup, more then likely probable. Phil's had various line issues as of late, coupled with the increase in shit he is now streaming has probably maxed out his line. Remember Phil is probably using very old hardware when it comes to his modem. Phil is not pro-active and from the vids prior Phil is probably using an TG862G/CT modem/router which is only DOCSIS 3.0. Its probably having issues being 8 to 9 years old now and is requiring constant resets to fix his issues.

2.) The issue was on YouTube's side. Unlikely as the chat never went down and continued going. And no other streamers as far as I know had issues with streaming yesterday.

His dent heads couldn't be the ones running view bots, my guess is Phil runs bots durring the day because for one people are at work and two the audience he cators too is at school. So he artificially inflates his views and durring the evening stream he doesn't as people are home to watch. Or at the very least doesn't use as many bots as he does durring the day streams.
 
I have a hard time believing in the bots theory simply because I think it isn't difficult for him to draw in 400-800 people. Between here, reddit, twitter and other places, there's hundreds of weirdos who still lurk, hate watch and don't bother with mirrors. Look how many folk still superchat him a few bucks every single day just to call him a faggot, or spam one insult in chat just to get insta banned. There's plenty more waiting in the wings.

Add in the dents who actually enjoy watching him, and the even bigger dents who support just to "own" the detractors, I can see it reaching the numbers he gets.

Happy to be wrong though, certainly wouldn't put it past one of his whales doing that.

Just want to point out that, on average, DSP streams sit at around 250 viewers.
We've seen some big ones like the React and Malenia streams that peak at around 1,000 but those are wild exceptions. It's mostly very rare for his view count to go higher than 300 or 350.
