this one blows my mind. He's so scared and against new things that a feature like this can somehow go undiscovered for years. I know people meme about him being a cave-man but this is scarily similar to "just stay in the cave grug".
No effort to learn the tech his business depends on, he outright refuses to explore anything unless he's told there's something interesting or good that'll come out of it. I can't even imagine being like him, there's no curiosity, no want or need to learn, anything that requires even a tiny bit of effort will be comfortably explained away, not to sound like a total fag here but that's terrifying.
He could have been among the first with direct capture, green screen, streaming and many other things, but Phil choose comfort and simplicity over being at the forefront and be considered a inovator and that is something that he has keept true to since he started doing YT. He dont want to be first, he wants things to be simple and work simple, because that means he has to put in less work, less work of learning things, less work of making sure things work before he starts streaming, less work of looking for new things.
To sum it up, Phil is lazy and most likely was raised spoiled, he did not have to solve problems or learn "new" things, his parents, relatives or friends did it for him.
I expect him to use the pause button some now in the beginning, but then it will fall of gradually and then he will stop using it, except when someone reminds him of it.
WTF would he do for Microsoft? tell them to be more annoying with getting me to upgrade to Windows 11? "Guys support has been down for a while and I see a lot of you are using some product keys that were bought from a 3rd party. These aren't legit and they concretely hurt the company. I wasn't able to take my wife who I love to our dream honeymoon because of this"
I remember him bringing this up years ago, how he would be perfect to work at Microsoft, Blizzard or any other game developer simply because of all the years he had spent as a "gamer", it so long ago i dont full remember what he claimed, but it was something about he knows more, and better, what games should be like than any developer and his time as a streamer was more than enough proof of it and no one else was at his level.
