Rate me MATI but is it just me or have we become more retarded lately?
I know this is hyperbole but kinda seems like Phil lives rent free in your head.
If your instinct is just to reach for your tinfoil hat the moment he opens his mouth (basically contrarianism) you're not really that different from him, and a lot of utterly retarded theories come from this instinct.
The instinct (imho) should be to draw from your own life experiences and knowledge of the world to contrast Phil's claims and stories against.
Also this "Phil is actually OMM" stuff is pure dentheaded territory. If you're a newfag just
say that, instead of shitting the thread up with autistic theories.
The idea that Phil tactically pretends to get behind-da-scenes tips in order to build tipping momentum towards a goal is at odds with his "slowest stream ever!!!" begging that is arguably his most successful technique. Before the vest streak started and after it ended, his strongest weapon is milking sympathy bux.
If Phil has a $7 stream, it might be momentarily bad but he has ammunition for the next stream. If Phil fakes a tip and turns a $7 stream into a $32 stream, it actually helps him less. "I only made 7 bucks yesterday!" sounds way sadder than "I made 32 bucks!"
Just look at the
comment sections of dent-tractor channels like James the Lesser Express Lane though. They eat this shit up:
