He's a whale, most likely this planet planetjeff guy, that is tipping directly via PayPal to avoid harassment.
This is my ascribed theory. We’ve seen time and again that longtime whales simply cannot stop sending Phil money for whatever reason (autism? Masochism?? Masoctism???) and if I recall correctly PlanetJeff was rightfully bullied the fuck off social media for supporting Phil. If he’s not 1MM it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he was doing the same thing in some other fashion and we just don’t know it yet.
 
The one constant of Phil's that I love is when he talks about money and is stressed out he starts rocking, he tries to control it but every now and then he just goes off.

So Phil is bitching about no new games and even though he was playing fucking pacman and hamming it up, he really has to be a triple A game cock sucker and no one cares about cup head dlc.

Did this faggot try and play cuphead?
It's a great game and it's challenging so retro art style makes no one care about a game.

He needs to get through July for the new releases and he needs like a whole day to make some polls.
He really is the king of talking so much and saying fucking nothing or making no fucking sense.
 
Why did you move across the country?
- bad weather
- high taxes
- horrible overpopulation
- crime

Why Renton:
- moderate weather
- everything is close to him (Translation: restaurants)

I TOLD YOU TO MOVE AWAY FROM CT, WHY DIDN'T YOU LISTEN TO ME. They grew complacent and kept making excuses and once they ran out of excuses they were too old to move.

Does he fear becoming like that? Yeah, but he isn't because he took a risk moving to Seattle which his parents criticised heavily and he's happy while they are sad and stuck in CT.
 
Fuck I would watch Phil actually try to work a late shift in any industry.
*All other co workers busting their ass doing whatever job*

Phil: hey if you guys wouldn't mind and swinging by with some support I COULD really use it !!

Boss: Burnell get back to work and stop hassling your co workers !

Phil: You want me to run your fucking shift for you ?!? I'm like the DOOM guy over here busting my chops.

Annnnd... He's fired.
 
In the case of the vest streak, because phil fucking *hated* the vest streak, if that wasn't obvious enough. Again, ego. He knows it makes him look like a clown, and he hates the vests.

Like I said, I'm not nearly so autistic to sit here and debate this. I don't know enough to really have a stake in it. I'm just saying it's not out of the realm of possibility.

He was a broken man that night. I urge you to go listen to it again not only for the dopamine kick but to realize how fucked he was by his reaction.
 
neither you or the parker boy answered my question, if this is his grand plan of using phantom money, why are there ever low streams?
To play devil's advocate, the occasional low stream gives him a chance to ramp up the guilt. Having someone like 1MM also serves that purpose---the idea being that 1MM is tipping like usual, why aren't the rest of you? It's not unheard of in business to spend $5000 to make $20,000.

Granted it's all unlikely but it's not any dumber than the lies and half-truths DSP uses the rest of the time.
 
DSP is stalling soo hard. He is already 10mins overtime and shouting at the game for this part being soo long and cant just exit. He plays skyrim, he could save and quit any minute.
He worked really hard for that $16.

Also, Phil let the mask slip too early and left in a beg just before ending the stream. You fuckers better pay up on Monday.
 
“Playing a game with no story is a waste of my time!”

Says the guy who played Minecraft far beyond any rational reason.

Oh wait. Papavera.
Friday night fights quickly become obsolete with that mindset

Don’t none of you talk about the in game lore. None of that mess matters when you have Phil the Resilient Autistic controlling any character in any game, especially a fighting one.
 
Don't want to beat a dead Khet and keep bringing up the 1MM thing, but I think it's interesting to talk about, especially since there's actually arguments instead of just saying it's an ego thing.

With priming, concept is theory, but I don't think it works in this situation. Phil likes to delay or hide 1MM tips and often needs to be prompted/questioned to bring it up. This shows reluctance. Priming is about setting expectations in the beginning, throwing a few tips in the jar before your shift begins to show tipping is worth it. Phil himself has also said several times he doesn't think people will tip beyond the goal, so any money he donates towards the goal is, in his mind, less real money he'd actually get.

I can at least see the logic for the priming argument, but I think any argument that relies on Phil using a secondary identity falls apart almost immediately. Phil has demonstrated time and time again he can't hide himself. We found out about his gacha spending precisely because he uses the same handle everywhere. We've also agreed that a lot of "fan" donations in the past were Phil lying and saying a fan donated something. It's always a fan behind the scenes. He never names then. So why make up a name for 1MM? Why not just do the usual Phil thing and say it was a fan?

You could argue it makes the lie seem more genuine if it's an actual person, and with anyone else I'd probably be using that reasoning myself. But this is Phil. The previous examples are all proof of how little creativity Phil has with his lies and his inability to conceal his identity. Phil's idea of masking himself is insisting that he's never heard of DSP when he's caught using an account with the exact same name as his twitter handle.

The stuff about Phil not bothering to use it on the second stream also doesn't really make sense because when has Phil ever been satisfied by a higher tipping stream before? Again, it's one of the examples of him not wanting his fans to know he was successful because if they remember he made a bunch of money in the first stream, it ruins the begging for the second. So why inflate that number even higher with a constant fake donation?

I realize there are answers to some of these, but I just want to stress again, remember we're talking about Phil. I absolutely believe some smarter cows, and hell, even some not so smarter cows would employ basic psychology to scam people out of money. Phil's "creativity" for begging is primarily limited to insisting he needs to pay his bills for the 30th time in a week after receiving hundreds of dollars the previous day, or invoking sympathy by saying he *might* have to eat a ham sandwich or scoffing at the idea of not eating out on his day off.

Phil is also famously bad at keeping up with lies, remember when his parents were on death's door? Or Jasper was sick, but he couldn't take him to the vet because they were all closed/inconveniently booked until Phil's day off? Or his shower? Or that time his car might need thousands of dollars of repairs but it was just a flat tire? I genuinely don't think Phil is capable of keeping up a consistent narrative, even something as simple as making up a donation every day.
