For another comparison, Jon Graham (creator of Arby n the Chief) is slowly getting to 100k subs after being on YouTube for as long as Phil, even though his show was at one point on the front page of YouTube and was the direct competition of RoosterTeeth's RvB. The difference is, Jon actually makes a professional one-man feature-length show (this is not a Phil word salad style description, btw), and even though you can argue about the quality or the idea of still making AntC in 2023 (I think it's very good and refreshing for what it is) you can't deny that's someone who truly has poured his life and blood for his craft despite not reaching mainstream popularity again.
Imagine making a feature-length show about talking toys that only a few thousand will watch at most when at one point you were on the verge of ruining Machinima at their peak because of how profitable you were and not bringing it up every five minutes. Now that is something I can find meaningful and even inspiring. When he did a stream after his show's finale, there were people throwing thousands in superchats even though he was reading them all equally, and not once I saw him begging about needing funds to continue or the preferred ways to donate, almost like people were responding to the quality of the content they got as opposed to being told about it. Now that's a legacy and I can truly believe the guy when he says he's not after views and clout. Funnily enough, he was a guest on Cr1tikal's podcast not long ago while Phil's begging got shut down instantly.
The reason why I bring Jon in here is because while Phil copes with his lack of fame on wanting to do something meaningful, he has nothing to be remembered for aside endless e-begging, berating viewers, being an asshole and fapping on stream. Despite throwing hours of footage every day for years, no one will ever remember any of it. He cries that tractors only clip the bad parts, and that's right, because it's the only notable things that happen. His funny moments aren't funny, so he only shines when he's an asshole. When I get clips reccomended, it's usually someone being nice to a sub, talking them out of suicide, doing a gaming milestone and overall being good people, things Phil never does. Seriously, I can't recall Phil ever being nice aside thanking people for tipping.
