Let's just point something out here that our resident muppet kiwi stated earlier, is that the tips pop-up animation was not "working" (well he didn't turn it on) for a sizable portion of that react stream, so it was up to Phil whether or not the tips total actively reflected the right amount that was paid to him from tips. I know that most of his supporters at this point know he's a cunt that has lied and taken advantage of people's feelings for his own greedy aspirations (as we can see what he did with both John and Howard), but there is seriously no room to have any pity for him, unless you're brain dead, the people that are left forking over their cash seem to fit that definition.
He walked right into this situation knowing that at face value, he would not be making that much money on the react, and that just like how he throws around that particular business analogy, just because you make one bad day where you didn't bring home the bacon, that doesn't mean you immediatly throw in the towl and start cost cutting, you get right back out there and carry on like that day didn't even matter, in the grand scheme of things he's always technically done this, but he's never been able to "take it in strides" in practice because he always freaks out over small bumps in the road, such as the multiple begathons, the beg tweets and reminding people constantly that the tips are low, this is how he's been for years and it seems like he's trying his hardest to face reality that he can't possibly have multiple slow streams.
Like what I took away with that video he just uploaded is that if he's not making enough money to cover his costs via any of his other income streams and if he doesn't have enough money to spend with his wife "eating a nice meal out", it'll be a disaster in the making for him and he has no plan b.
Unreal shit, it must be a real catastrophe for him to see himself eating a luncheon meat sandwich one day, because then he'll admit to himself that instead of being a successful streamer and having a positive day, that instead something went terribly wrong and he doesn't want to believe he can have multuple slow days in a row, leaving twitch and the end of the vest streak has almost destroyed this man sense of resilieance and self-discipline, if he actually had any before, his spending habits with how how purchased a mass effect gun that was over $1000 that he didn't even use says it all really.
