I think he reacted to the fact that Phil put ads on the video, not so much the video itself. And I think there was some animosity between the two of them, due to Phil being a part of their FGC group.

As John Rambo described it, being a part of an FGC crew is like being part of a brotherhood. You're all teamed up with the shared interest of playing fighting games. You don't give a shit about being big or being rich. You're just a part of this group that all love the shit out of this game, go to tournaments sometimes, and have get togethers at your home and watch EVO or have mini-tournaments, or whatever. So when Phil put up the video with ads, I imagine Howard saw that as Phil breaking a cardinal rule within the group for extra money.

And this is from personal experience, but it's also kind of an unspoken rule that what happens within your crew stays with your crew. Now, Tee was actually a veteran in the FGC; dude's been around while Street fighter Alpha was getting big, iirc. If he'd have shared with after maybe talking with his friends first or shared it on SRK Forums where pros and players alike would see the video, Phil might not have gotten so much shit. But to Howard, I'm sure, Phil shared info about a prominent member of a community that Phil's fanbase barely knows on a channel called Hate Live, mentioned weird shit about a deceased friend that didn't need to be said (no one needed to know Tee's living conditions, Phil), then didn't tell his friends before and after the video went up. So while Phil posted the video on YouTube without malicious intent, it probably looked that way to Howard, who might have been so pissed, he didn't watch the vid.

What's somewhat sad is that any hostility brought up by Phil posting that video would have been swept under the rug if Phil had just owned up and said what he did was wrong. But (and Phil's ego aside) that is now impossible due to the existence of that dumbass reaction to John and Howard's video, which amounts to "Fuck you, Howard, I dindu nuffin wrong!" What a waste of such a long friendship, dude.

I don't know. I guess what I'm trying to say is that, yeah, Howard overreacted, but I think he was more mad at Phil putting ads on the video than the video itself. And to be honest, I'd be just as mad too.
ppb learned from msm, never let a good tragedy go unmonetized.
 
Streaming is already oversaturated as fuck right now, and even with niche things like Phil, there are so many of you around that you really do need a hook for it to stand out. So double oversaturation here.

Phil is a figured out man. If you plan on trying to get a boost in your gaming career by doing this, please don't. It's sad. Most have their people they watch already for that.

I have seen a few that try to stream without Phil content and you tank super hard. Now you become laughable and I can hear the crunching of the can that your ego takes when reality hits.

Good example was JTL when he was a thing. Okay he's just a weirdo unkempt guy but he does Phil content, so he's fine. Then the next you see him watch Baby Metal shit and no one is watching, and he's boring as dirt. Not to mention he's autistic and a fuckin loser in hindsight.
The only advantage I have is that I've been streaming for well over a year and know how to work a live audience to an extent, but I can't handle live Phil. He really is too fucking boring and I'd end up playing something else while his gameplay rambles on. This is why I'd prefer to talk about his odder behaviors and how they don't work from a streaming perspective than anything else and how ill informed he can be in terms of his assumptions regarding gaming mechanics (the entire point of the ER video).

That and there are only two things that really piss me off: his stupid noisemaker and his complete inability to eat anything properly. If I visit friends in WA I'd half a mind to do 2 things while breaking in his house: leave Jasper in his office and break the noisemaker. It'd force the fucker to upgrade stuff like actually figuring out a Streamdeck as a soundboard for those noise clips.
 
As much as DSP is a dumbass, he probably realized that if he talks/seethes about it a lot, it will get his cult members curious and they might discover the "strange" iTunes payments for 16$ and 110$ and whatnot. The more he would have seethed over it, the more it would make the leaks look legitimate and he wouldn't be able to brush it under the carpet and call it "identity theft federal crime" and make himself look the victim with all those 110$ charges to iTunes. It would also has exposed that he makes a metric fuckton of money per month going against his narrative that he is poor.
Yea exactly. He just immediately dismisses the major shit and implements a lean-on-sight order for any mention of it in chat because he knows that 100% works for surviving almost any controversy he manages to get himself into. The terminally dented probably can't think in the abstract or comprehend the complex concepts behind most controversies, like "finances" or "morality", so he can just give them a platitude like "my finances are nobody's business" and they will just regurgitate them ad infinitum in all but the most concrete cases like jerking off on stream, which is why he was forced to ironically "own it". I can no longer perceive where the trolls start and the wheelchairs end due the Poe's law effect, but for whoever the fuck can call themselves an unironic Darksydephil Viewer, his methods of deflection are maddeningly effective, and why he truly is The Pigroach.

Sweeping everything into the garage is a double edged sword though because repressing every massive controversy and stressor in his life has turned him into a raw nerve of anxiety while his life has basically become a labrynth of complex, interrelated lies he has to keep straight on a daily basis. He might actually have them all written down in crayon somewhere. This is why he explodes over the seemingly insignificant dumb shit like people talking about sports in his chat. Its why he suffers from constant pig panic whenever his trough runs low, or a payment is even ONE fucking day late from YouTube. He knows if he goes one day without gin and other distractions, a tidal wave of psychological horror is bearing down on him at the speed of sound.
 
If anyone has anything profound to say or has some brand new, original topics we should all be discussing please go ahead and start posting them.

There's really nothing going on right now anyway so its not like the random bullshit that gets posted during the slow times is clogging up the thread or getting in the way of something more important. If there was anything remotely interesting to talk about we would all be discussing it. When things are slow/boring in the dsp universe why would you come here and expect some big, super interesting discussions to be going on?
 
Nobody actually does want to, I think that's been proven a thousand times over at this point.
There are a fewer newer accounts that recently have been advocating and mentioning open trolling plans and mass reporting, as well as defending them.
DSP and detractors should not be a Batman -Joker relationship. One does not need the other.

Too many detractors protecting Phil.
The only ones I see literally protecting Phil are the dent-tractors in his chat keeping the chat moving, that sub to him on multiple accounts to keep his sub count moving, and accept gifted subs from dents so they can keep acting like dents in chat. The literally assist dents in giving Phil money. They enable the gift sub scam to go on.
 
In all honesty he’s too pathetic to fuck with and even if you did it would just rally the retards to save him and make him richer

exactly, not only is he his own best detractor so he'll essentially just troll himself eventually but he'll turn anything done to him into pity bucks no matter how insignificant, just look at the last 2 times he reacted to something about himself. He'll just play his best card, the vicitm card and the dents will shower him with money. Didn't he even pull "the trolls ruined my left" or a version of it recently?

The welfare check SWATing, the Racoon Horse halloween stream and tevin, the dent-tractor on the bankruptcy call, the bank leaks identity theft, the escort saga and so on.

He'll just call who ever did it a mentally ill such and such, take a jab at the farms then play it off as it didn't bother him into memory hole and LIMB any mention of it until tips are low then the victim card comes out.

I would argue it's a safe gacha pull that he wants someone to do something, look at his reddit mentions. He keeps baiting for them to mention him again, he loves the attention.

I actually think at this point he's so pathetic that he would welcome being troll mostly for the validation that he's not a has been that never was and the pity tips would be a bonus.

or not..
who the fuck knows with him, there's like 10 phils in the human skin suit at this point so..

I think its stockholm syndrome or something. I have a suspicion that a sizable chunk of his audience are detractors, or peripheral trolls that stayed too long and just got pignotized. I remember fucking around in his chat a while back and one of the mods knew every sneak diss and bantered about them, but would moralfag if you started alogging too hard or genuinely criticizing Phil. I know Phil demands his mods stay up to date on the latest slander from the mentally ill morahns, but he just seemed like a troll. He had that "C'mon guys, Phil's really not that bad" vibe the semi-sentient dents get when confronted with Phils pigtrocities. It could just be that even his loyal mods hate him, but I feel like there's a lot of trolls who got subsumed in the bovine blob that is Phil's chat. Either way its fucked.

This always happens when there's a lull in Dave's entertainment value.

When we watch Dave we're just waiting for the next crises, something that actually is out of his control since he's always on the edge of financial ruin from the bank leaks. Or the really interesting potential content like maybe he gets banned off of youtube or someone starts gangstalking him on his days off.

Whoever does the latter would be a sperg but it would cause Dave to become even more of a recluse fearing that 'tractors are around every corner.

Really he gets off easy with IRL trolling compared to other lolcows, don't see anyone flying to Seattle to beat him up like Ethan Ralph.Though that's cause he barely ever leaves his house and you'd have to follow him from his house to see where he actually was on his day off.
Someone should stick a GPS tracker to his BMW.
 
My two cents regarding trolling Phail is that it's weird and unpredictable which things set him off and which don't. The bank leaks are huge but it's crazy how little he seethed about them, especially when you remember things like him losing his mind for months because his $7 chicken sandwich had sloppily applied sauce on it.
Because all he could do with the bank leaks was say they were fake and scream "dumbfuck trolls" over and over. He can't acknowledge or discuss the contents of something he has to pretend isn't real. That's why everything since the scam to move Khet in ("I had to lie to protect my family") is "fake" and Phil just denies it. The chicken sandwich thing he thought he'd get famous because Burger King was involved, and he legitimately thought he was a victim. So like the Karen he is, he whined on and on.

We just had an epic day-long meltdown four days ago, so that's not it. It's the aftermath. Each time DSP makes a total ass out of himself, sinks to a new low, some people expect things to change---dents will stop donating, DSP's done, this HAS to be it. Then Phil gets his same $300 a day, does the same begging, and the grift continues. That's what leads to all of these "introspective" (mostly) shit posts. Because the dozen people who support Phil don't care what he does, and get off on supporting someone that shitty.
 
"MAN, DSP IS MAKING ME MAD, THINK IM GONNA TAKE A BREAK FROM DSP YOU GUYS HIS LIFE IS JUST BEGGING FOREVER ANYWAY".

I think a big part of why he appeared to seethe was because of how it backfired spectacularly when he did. He did such a bad job that many of the paying dents saw right through his attempt to word salad his way out of it, costing him many of his smaller scale tippers. Compare it to his BK burger with a bit too much sauce and it was much easier to paint himself as a victim of poor service while the with the leaks, he inadvertently admitted to the account being his. That and the bk burger was the first thing to get any more attention beyond what he usually gets and had hoped to cash more than he ended up doing.
 
The chicken sandwich thing he thought he'd get famous because Burger King was involved,
I firmly believe he thought he'd be able to get money out of them.
Bank leaks show his entire move. Hair done at curls, followed by visiting sheries, go the mall maybe or just Fred Meyer, then go to pets mart for Kat food, finished off by going home and DoorDash
That's what he doesn't get. Since he insists on flexing his day off to impress the children, everything lines up exactly with what he has said. How can he claim it's fake?
Go pat a dog or help a friend out.
What the hell is this lunacy?
