Phil's not a virgin, he and John Rambo were gay together, remember?
My breakdown of why that forum post is so wrong:
-Twitch does have ads, wtf is he smoking?
-Wow, you mean...THANKING people who give you money? That they don't in any way owe you? How terrible that must be. Really.
-And yes, people will watch that. Plenty of popular streamers (not necessarily Pew Die Pie or Markiplier levels of popularity) thank their subscribers and donaters. Have thousands of fans. Because throwing out a quick thank you, or hell, even saying thank you at the end of the stream to everyone who donated.
-Things like fancy emotes and events...you mean, things that would make more people want to subscribe to you? I know it's a novel concept, Phil, but you need to cater to your demographic. If people want these things, and they will bring you in more views, you do them. I mean, if you're a causal streamer that stuff doesn't matter, sure. But you're trying to make this a career. A business. Come on.
-Twitch chat can sometimes veer off and talk about things that aren't stream-related/go off on a tangent based on something that happened in the stream, but if you're getting paid for the views, who cares? Just goes to show this is as much about his ego as it is money. (Same on his forums...anytime anyone talks about a subject that isn't him, he closes the thread.) That said, a good streamer will engage their audience and keep them focused on the game. So once again, this comes back to Phil.
-Twitch might "not be a good place to stream" but that's where everyone goes. Very few people go to YouTube to watch video game streams vs going to Twitch. Refusing to go back to Twitch is hurting himself.
tl;dr Phil is an entitled, lazy ass who creates his own problems.
