Whales like Slayer and Jayde would be forgotten in maybe 3 months if they stopped tipping today. And yeah, there's been so many whales through the years but if you'd ask me to name the "significant" ones they'd either be lolcows in their own right (KGhaleon, Vidar, Master Saru) or would've only really be known for one event (PlanetDeadWife, Emerald7). I struggle to think of any whale that's been gone for at least a year or so except for the ones I mentioned.
You are right by saying that Derich is the chaddest of all dents though, if he stopped showing up tomorrow he'd still be the King of the Dents, and he managed to do all that without giving DSP a cent (he did use his mom's credit card to send bits that one time but that's the least important thing about why Derich is King Denthead).
Plus Derich is at times funnier than Phil. I think during 2021 i was following more Derich than Phil and was way more active in Derich's thread (with my old account).
 
You're right, however in my opinion, his prior offense was more egregious since it appears he wasn't cautious enough to understand the bounty challenge (he interpreted the message in his own way), then insulted and pushed the viewer to donate suggesting an unban if done.

That is as close as you get to the fire while not being insanely blatant, yet Youtube allegedly checked the reports but did nothing. So this time he has even less of a chance of being punished, from my point of view.


@TankMelee is right, I'll take the liberty to tag @KingjadVCMP because DSP can make it into ammo, while completely missing the point of the criticism.

The link itself is also in DSP's own community tab, the stream is private right now, not deleted.
Not my intention to mislead - if I'm wrong, I'll gladly admit it on my part, but I hope people understand why I arrived at that conclusion initially. I did not consider Phil's community page as a good resource for finding links to his older livestreams.

Will be deleting my video with a community post to explain I screwed up - my bad guys. Thanks @TankMelee and @We Are The Witches

Not sure why it sticks out to me so much compared to the rest, but the only notable paypig bit I even remember was where Jaxx was saving up to buy a car and then gave 1000 to Phil instead. All the other names you guys listed, with the exception of the current couple, I couldn't tell you anything about. They're that forgettable. The only thing I really remember about OIC was when his KF accounts got called out, and the best "fuck you" he could come up with was spamming the DSP chat box for a few hours.

It is really, really sad to think about the fact that we find them so forgettable, and if we forget them that easily, Phil probably forgets them even faster. All that money, all that time, all that "support" for his streams, and I doubt he could list half of the names from these few posts.

The only thing that will be remembered is that DSP beat his meat live.

Everything else will be forgotten.

He will always be The Guy.
 
Personally I feel that admitting you even ironically take part in DSP's chat to do anything but offer him money and then leave to go back to the restream to trigger a bounty tantrum is cringey. You may think you're a masterclass troll slowly and subtly "owning" DSP but you're the one wasting your time in his chat full of actual children and retards with most of your posts being ignored, and nobody is going to remember you at the end of the day.

If all the ironic viewers just left instead of keeping this chat alive trying to be the next one to get featured in a detractor video for pissing DSP off enough to say "and here's an idiot, time to ban" as if that's a win somehow I think he'd lose a noticeable amount of activity and it would lead to some really entertaining desperation from him.

Also, if you've ever given him money, even to superchat something offensive or retarded at him, you're a fucking idiot.

Don't forget his WWE Champions spending, I've seen it now being brought up as a joke outside of gaming-related videos, like in that one Botchamania clip. So he won't be just remembered as The Guy who jerked off on stream, but also as The Guy who spend over 6 figures on digital images of sweaty men.
 
What if I told you it's the same reason his finances are shit.

He pauses every chance he gets to input his own idiotic take on things. Since this is a remake he fucks around with what he remembers and why isn't something how it was before; he did this with the Peng statue, and while he was correct about its location, it appears much later in the OG DS. But he'd rather look up and down an area and explain how it's there and wondering why he can't get it. Something happens and he'll stop playing to fucking sperg about it, doubly so if someone in his audience says something. He relies on chat to hold his fucking hand and make decisions for him, as well as giving himself a full pep-talk about the how and why you should take the left road and not the right road (random example). There's also his need to call for donations and stopping the game to manually type shit in.

It's not that he fucks up in one massive explosion, it's a combination of small tiny time wasters that build up over and over and over and over and over through a game that makes shit twice as long as it needs to be. Just like his finances are a string of innumerable $109.90 charges to Apple iTunes.
I've got the game and with 2.5 hours of play I'm slightly behind phil; this is me crawling over areas trying to not miss a thing, reading text logs in full and actually bothering with the side stuff (quick caveat I was also tabbing out to message someone about the game and going for smoke/drink breaks too) so Phil is 100% dragging his feet.

Anyone catch what difficultuy he's put it on? I've gone for hard because I got the platinum trophies for every one of the series games and felt like a bit of a challenge but it feels like I'm playing on normal with a lot of resources. Shame the game doesn't have an ink ribbon analouge cause that always fucks phil in the funniest ways.

For anyone curious, it's a solid game as it builds on the strength of the original and adds really high fidelity and side content with a bit of depth if you're a fan of the original I'd say drop the cash, if you're not but want a solid survival horror then wait for a sale

Yeah I kinda chalk it up that this is Youtube Gamer Mode Phil where he obviously watched a playthrough to refresh his memory on Dead Space so he can stop in the middle and say "Well this is different!". I watched a few minutes of each stream and turned it off because it was dogshit fake faggot mode. You will hear so many Marvel Tier like quipping going on that I can't do it. Shoots a guy and says dumb one liners like "I bet he's having steaks for dinner!"(not exactly but something of that effect). Everything felt way too rehearsed.

And the fuckin pausing to do shout outs man. I just can't do this anymore. This isn't even a playthrough like Signalis. Dude still was begging because you guys didn't tell him to cut it out!

Anyone catch what difficultuy he's put it on?
He's on Developer Intended Difficulty (Normal). So just even more boring and non-eventful.

This schedule STINKS.
 
I haven't really been keeping up with TIHYDPs myself due to the salt or exceptionally bad gameplay being so rare. He either fake rages, acts like a clown for his retard audience, whines like a spoiled child, or acts like an insufferable nitpicking know-it-all. Still looking forward to SF 6's release since fighting games tend to produce some good salt.*

* When he's not punching down on scrubs
He completely lost his mind playing on the launch of the last KOF. SF6 is gonna be awesome 👌
 
You guys think that in those lonely nights where hes alone with his thoughts he realizes his life is shit, but since hes come this far might as well keep going?
All the friendships he sacrificed.
The love that could've been.
The simplicity of just having his little condo, his own space.
When he actually used to have fun and didn't beg like a crackfiend.

I like to think that he does and that's why sometimes he lashes out at people because hes venting his frustrations. No wonder he stays up late and Gin'ng himself to sleep just to drown the pain and realization that he has nothing to show for.
 
I know DSP is bad, but I try watching other streamers, and any of the ones with a sizable audience are starting to feel less appealing. Even everyone's favorite spedrunner Carcinogen feels like he's angry about having to play games; granted he's making his first playthrough on Impossible Mode, and then bitching about design decisions. Not gonna say he's on the same level as Phil; but he gives off the vibe he hates what he does to make a living.
I think it's very easy to get caught up with audience capture.
  1. People stream for weeks/months to no audience at all.
  2. A small percentage continue anyway and then do something that gets an audience
  3. The audience they attract only wants them to do this one specific thing
  4. The streamer attempts to do other stuff but donations/views go down
  5. They are captured and have to continue to do the thing that got them popularity even if they don't want to do it
This is only the small streamers that tend to do this... The ones making fuck you money don't give a shit. They are set for life and can do what they want... The ones that left their 9-5 job far too quickly are the ones who are stuck in this loop and are financially impacted if it doesn't work out.

IMO I don't think Phil is even capable of introspection like this. He's been such an egomaniac and narcissist his whole life; I dont even think he has the wiring for it. And he's become so fucking delusional in the past several years that any small sliver of a chance that he may be capable of self reflection is completely gone.

I think he has moments when he realizes this, but as far as the REASONS for your list, he views it as:

1) All the former friends who screwed him over
2) He has the ultimate love in his wife Khet and his furson Jasper Kitty
3) He misses Italian food, the zoo, and...um.....oh yeah, his parents, but nothing else about that little condo.
4) The detractors made up everything about him and made him beg.

He might not totally buy 1, but he's said 2 and 4 so many times he's convinced himself, and he literally said 3 the other day, and many other times in the past.
