How many years of backtaxes does he owe now?
He says he keeps getting payment plans, we could be nice and say he paid off 2018, but then it's still 3.

Daily Wrap 2:30: "Today was slow, that kinda sucks, I didn't monetize as much and when I did, people weren't 'up at at em' to contribute because it was supposed to be a demonetized day" he coped that people were holding out for today :story: He's so predictable though, weekend is slow? Time to crank up the begging for Monday, I did not expect a video but I guess it was just that slow for him.
Begging video 1:03: "I use tips raised over the previous weekend" what about the money from Wednesday and Thursday? Is that free money? Yeah yeah, WWEC, sigh. TWO LARGE BILLS COMING UP. The meme is back. "Everything I had saved up in excess is gone and I don't have those funds". Please tip AND buy credits, LMFAO. He's really afraid that people will clip this and post it on reddit again, Jesus, he even picks the beggar subreddit specifically. I don't care about you because you don't give me money, thanks for the views, you worthless humans.

It's all a semantics game to Phil. He's not asking to be paid for that stream, he's asking to be paid in place of the money he didn't make that stream (even though he still made money on it and didn't turn SCs off and allowed superthanks on the re-uploads but ads we're off on stream, that's what matters most, right guys).

The whole "not monetised" bullshit was him trying to have some moral victory over them. They predicted that he'd still find ways to monetize them long after they were out of his life and even he had to know how bad it would look if he did his usual shit in the middle of it after they said that. You are looking way too deep into a lie that he made to try and preemptively get one over on them. He's just upset that he's not made as much as he wanted to for it and the day afterwards.
It really is retarded and just word games to try to make himself look better if John and Howard actually watched his response. Its like he expects them to literally watch just the reaction segments where he isn't making any money and that's it so they would think he didn't make any money from doing it. Then immediately after he can beg his ass off and it doesn't count for some reason. The whole thing was a retarded attempt at trying to hide that he was indeed making money off those guys again.

I mean nevermind the fact that the reaction stream was already a reward for hitting a monetary goal anyway...
 
I'm going to try and be fair on Phil and you can downvote me all you want, I don't care.
So, this is Phil's tribute to T Carter segment from 2014:

I've skimmed through it and honestly, it's not that bad. Phil does a good job of telling stories and all the comments that I read were positive. People liked the segment. Mind you, Phil offers too many details and says some things insensitively ("T couldn't afford to live in a good part of town"). Essentially, this is another case of Phil oversharing and making a social faux pas. He should have known better to not monetize that podcast. Howard has reasons to be mad that Phil did this, T's death should not have been publicized like that, let alone in that much detail. It was obviously insensitive to T's family (the podcast was called Hate Live!, lol). However, I do believe Howard somewhat overreacted a bit because the tribute painted T in a very positive light and people actually really liked it.

John and Howard's fallout with Phil ultimately boiled down to the fact that Phil is autistic and cannot socially function normally. He's simply incapable of maintaining good relationships and puts his ego above everything.

I would now argue that Phil has become a much worse person than he was. Saturday's stream points to that. The crying segment was disgusting. Let me point out that Phil barely teared up during the T Carter tribute segment of the 2014 podcast; But he cried talking about it during the John and Howard debunk stream. Get the fuck outta here. He went through that segment like he was acting out a movie scene. It was dead clear he was going for pity. The tears were real for sure, but they were tears of guilt. He deep down knows his life used to be better in his early twenties playing ST in CT. But he ruined all that. He pushed everyone away from him, left those better times in the past and has now isolated himself in WA. That's where the tears came from. He exploited those tears for pity and somehow made them about T and the trolls. That is morally reprehensible.

It really can't be understated how much his autism and ego rule his life. His life consists of autistic social stumbles which he refuses to learn from. Neither does he have people in his life to teach him. But on top of that, he doesn't even have the humility to learn either. His massive ego is so big that it's bound to instigate conflicts in his life. And when individuals call out his behaviour the only thing that he knows to do is to play the victim. In a sense he is a victim; a victim of his autism and ego. Those two same things blind him to the fact that the hurt he's feeling is self-inflicted. He must think that when someone feels like a victim it's always because someone had abused the victim. Well, no, Phil it's not always like that. Sometimes, it's not your fault. Some other times, it is your fault. In the times of your life, it's pretty much always your fault. You cannot always be in control of what people do to you, but you can and must be in control of how to react and what to learn.

Wasn't it also the death of the guy who ran tournaments when DSP was young, encouraging him to play in larger events and not just this T person that got him so emotional? I think DSP said if it weren't for that guy he never would've played in legit tournaments so he credited him with starting his career? He wouldn't be where he is today if not for that guy?

If so he should be cursing that guy's grave not crying about losing him. That guy is responsible for DSP having zero marketable skills, going bankrupt and having to beg cripples every day for their SSI money.

It wasn't about T's death, it was about a guy named Scotts death. It also probably doesn't matter how tastefully DSP talks about Scott dying considering, according to Rambo and Howard, how much DSP had pissed off everyone in that friend group and how DSP didn't even say thank you to Howard for letting him know before he makes a monetised video about the dudes death.
 
Seeing dsp essentially say that he doesn't need/has time for friends, is truly sad and pathetic. Humans are social creatures by nature. No matter how anti social or recluse you can claim to be, eventually you'll start to longer the company of others(His wife doesn't count) I bet the fact that him knowing that all the people who "betrayed him" or left his life have gone on to improve and become better while he stays stagnant, must hit him hard which is why he goes on about "Living my best life" shit. Deep down he must have realized that maybe the problem weren't they, but him which is the only constant. No matter how much money he receives, the void will never fill, money and objects can occupy space and fill the room, but they can never fill the void inside.
 
Phil should just throw both cats out on the street and embrace the full gacha lifestyle already. Those 2 are holding you back dsp. Think about how much you can spend more on WWEC if you just got rid of em. You don't even have to divorce the woman. Remember the axe Phil? All it takes is 1 swing when shes busy playing skyrim. Just 1 swing and all your problems vanish and Hulk himself will finally embrace you.
I hope this never happens because it would be a decision I would actually respect and I would feel conflicted. I prefer DSP to be 100% despicable these days. But yeah, unironically the best choice would be to throw out Kat and throw out Jasper too. Fuck this "matchoor ahdult" LARP and just become a full blown gachamonger.
Hear me out on this:

What does he stand to lose?
Nothing! Kat's only option is to join her sister into the homeless crack whore business. She probably doesn't have any money of her own to hire a divorce lawyer so DSP is pretty safe from her taking his stuff. Even if she did pursue legal action, DSP weaseled his way into getting that bankruptcy so a divorce would be a walk in the park. Kat really is deadweight and it's just a matter of time until she hits the wall and Phil decides Hogan jpgs are a better use of his money than feeding Ms. Piggy anyway. Stop delaying the inevitable and kick her out. Jasper too since he's a fucking detractor anyway and a waste of money. Think of how much was wasted on cat food and horse food. Money that he could have used on that premium Hogan grindset. If anyone ever brings it up, just lie about it and ban them from chat. Hell, you just shat on your former barely legal lover and former husbandos, so why not throw this used goods bitch under the bus too? You can even blame it on her. Say it was Kat's fault and that she broke you heart and cry pity so the whales pay you more! The only downside is that in the DSP-verse she needs someone to wash his clothes and cook for him which is what Panda used to do. But Kat is probably worse at it anyway so just kick her out and have your mom fly over to you and do clean up once a month.

What does he stand to gain?
A few things. More food money. More jpegs money. More gin money. More "bills" money (don't worry Phil you can just lie about having less anyway). You can now hire whores and prostitues without a second thought and not die a virgin. Who knows? Maybe you could actually make your life more positive.

This is a great example of what everyone’s problem with fill is. If you take all of the bad stuff he’s done and analyze them individually in a vacuum, it’s easy to rationalize why a normal person may have acted that way once or twice. Nobody’s perfect.

But then you notice a long term pattern of behavior and realize the bad stuff isn’t the exception, it’s the rule. That things like insensitivity, profiting off a friends death, using his ex girlfriend’s anxiety attack as a vehicle to beg for money, etc. is who he is and who he has been for decades. That’s when it clicks that he’s not a well-intentioned imperfect human, he is the human embodiment of a narcissistic piece of shit who doesn’t give a fuck about anything except himself and how much money he can squeeze out of those around him.

If you listen to the Rambo/Howard podcast right before Howard’s epic tard rage about no respect, Rambo says something along the lines of “I wasn’t going to contact him, I was already done with him.” That tells me that he’d already done a bunch of other stuff to sell out his friends up to that point, and the friends death segment was merely the straw that broke the Howard’s camel’s back.

Additionally, I believe most of Howard’s issue with that was less that he did a monetized video on it, and more that he didn’t even bother acknowledging his grieving fellow FGC fraternity brothers and their collective loss, rather that he just ignored them completely, turned on the camera, and pretended to care so he could make some extra gin money from the exceptional public. Thanks for the information, stupid fuck!

Think if someone’s parents died, and instead of contacting their siblings about it, they started fake crying on FB to get attention and validation from randoms while declining calls from their family members. Not the perfect example, but that’s what I gathered the real root of the problem was. That would burn the fuck out of me, too.

TLDR the straw broke the camels back and fill completely ignored his former bros because money
 
Seeing dsp essentially say that he doesn't need/has time for friends, is truly sad and pathetic.
This makes me empathize with him just a bit. He's a cunt and, clearly, a bad friend but it's such obvious cope that I can't help but pity him. To power level ever so slightly I moved far away from my home and friends and that shit is lonely. Without my gf I'd have lost my mind. That kind of isolation is almost surreal, especially if you don't make friends in your new home.

Even if we assume off camera that Kat is incredibly affectionate and supportive being on the opposite side of the country, having lost contact with everyone you've ever cared about aside from family, is a heavy thing to deal with. At the end of the day you reap what you sow though. He had the opportunity to have life long friendships over his weird ego stuff. There's no way that doesn't hit him whenever he thinks about the events they went to together etc

It really does come off that Phil has simply copied what other people want and do, which boiled down to this generic concept of success which is living in a gated community with a higher end car and a house full of cool but ultimately worthless nicnacs only valuable to those with an interest in those properties. He had the girlfriend but the moment she ditched him, he desperately went and got married to Kat more to 'prove' he wasn't a fucking loser, yet he rarely if ever mentions her existence and it's up for debate if she's even still with him. There is no true 'objective' for Phil to actually achieve in life, nothing even close to resembling a personal drive, which is why he's stuck begging for cash and ripping off Asmongold every way he can.

With Phil, I believe his move to Washington was entirely to distance himself from everything, or rather everyone he'd known, growing up, and none of that bullshit about the air being good for his health. Its why I'm convinced that he probably would be comfortable living in a shitty trailer home purely because he hates social interaction face to face.
 
1. Obviously the amount of tips has been decreasing slowly since the start of this year. He hits his arbitrary tips mostly once, sometimes twice a week, and the pool of whales has been getting smaller and smaller. He has received $1,500 less per month on average this year so far compared to the average amount of tips per month in 2021. If not for OneMinuteMan, that would actually be $2,250 per month less on average, just to show how VERY dependent he is on individuals forking over hundreds of dollars per month.
I think it's just this. 2022 is the first year that Phil has showed any significant signs of losing income, even if it's only from $140k/year to $120k/year now.

Phil means it when he says e-begging is more stable than a real job, because it really has been for him for many years now.

Ah, the Dent-tractors have begun their thankless work.
I'm reminded of a Chappelle joke about whenever a tragedy or some newsworthy thing happens they go ask celebrities how they feel. "Won't somebody please ask ja rule how he feels about this?!?" Who cares what one particular content creator feels. He's repeating things that have been said in the thread far beyond his stint as a detractor or creator. This was said about Tevin years ago when he started and couldn't get basics right and it's been so long that an entire generation of detractors were nursed on him.

He grew up spoiled and was never taught any life skills, thinking it would all be done for him.

He didn't wash his own clothes until he moved to WA and even then I think Leanna did it.

His parents flew out and his dad cleaned his garage without him lifting a finger.

He always expects things to be done on his time, at his convenience.
Don't forget he also hired a handyman to come out and put four screws in the wall to hang blinds for him. Something my kid did in his own room when he was ten
 
I don’t really understand Phil’s logic when it comes to not “monetizing” the react stream to prove a point to John and Howard’s claims but turns up the dial on the begging immediately after the stream.

You already sat through that stream without taking much if any responsibility and made yourself look like a rejected lover, what shame do you have to lose? Truly a fucking idiot.
