Anyone else think new Phil isn't caused by KC and instead by desperation? I think he just got fed up about his money being low and just decided to do everything to rake in more cash like collaborating with KC, Keem etc. I just feel there's no way Phil would give up his paranoid anxious tendencies unless he was pushed into the corner financially
 
Have you seen how they look and stare into space, Warski looks like he is straight up wishing for cocaine. That is not how people look when they "like" you.
I think at least Ashton likes Phil as that retarded friend you let tag around. This definitely has a shelf life that has to end soon, though. Phil is not enjoyable to listen to in any of their streams. There was never going to be a "gotcha" like some people think, I predict it just fizzles out. They react to something or talk to someone about Phil which sets him off, doesn't take much doing, and then we're back to normal.

I'm curious what Craig is going to do. Side Scrollers now is like a shitty right-wing podcast with e-girls on often for gamer incels that calls people out, so this should finally be more of a straight discussion. It's after the Joon doc too, so we'll see.
 
I think it is possible for DSP to grow a bigger audience but that audience is limited to lolcow/lolcow adjacent viewers. He'll never blow up like a normal person. His only chance to grow and have it stick is leaning into being a lolcow. He will not blow up like a normal person because at the end of the day when he is just playing games on DSP space Gaming it's the worst stream on earth. Normal people will never watch DSP, like him, donate, and stay around long term. He thinks already that he has broken out of the bubble and can actually talk to someone like Max. He's delusional. The battle between money and ego over this lolcow conundrum will be interesting to watch.

During the chained together you can tell warski was kinda annoyed with Phil's shit gameplay. he's aware PPP doesn't really play games wheras Phil has no excuse and he just didn't want to talk about anything funny other than detractors and himself.
 
A true test of KC's "friendship" with Phil will be how often he bugs them during their September break. Despite being spawn of the sektur, Andy and PPP seem to value a separation between the internet and personal lives.

Phil publicly addressed Max Dood 3 times within 24 hours to no response. If support starts to dip, Phil is going to start spamming the Casino DMs like a junkie needing a fix.

I think it started with Kino Casino publicly defending him, and for years he's whined about the days when people took him seriously, he's clearly friendless and lonely etc, so actually I think it started with appeals to his ego and vanity.

But once DSP saw the money he made just doing one stream with Kino Casino it blasted his mind open to what he'd been missing out on for years being a hermit.

Putting Warksi under DSP like this was the best

If one of your worst enemies says "you're stuck with me" and your "friend" is making the below face...RUN!

The desperation led him to KCs chat where he asked them to watch him "ear corn on the cob" and the rest is history lol.

KC leaves (and takes their pay pigs with them)
It would seem to me that turning your cash cows towards someone else is not a good business decision. They have to be asking why that money isn't being thrown at them right?
Oh my fucking god, he burned 15$ and then gives you a thesis on why he NEEDS the trainers for another 15$. 30$ in the span of 5 minutes for NOTHING, not even pulls.
If there was ever any doubt that down from the rafters is him, this should have eliminated that.
 
I have given Warski a ton of flak but he has made some banger quotes and memes, I use the "fuck, yeah!" and Stay back!!! regularly. God that stream was amazing.

Yeah, I think Phil is going to message Ashton constantly during their break because he is so desperate for friends. The dumb fuck thinks this is Rambo and Howard all over again but he failed to actually be their friends like Rambo said its all monetary. Ashton and I have a guilty pleasure and thats reality tv but I understand why he needs a month to just be alone, plus Andy has a girlfriend so he wants to spend quality time with her uninterrupted. Then Phil I bet will be messaging constantly about what to do and interviews etc. In the end you are getting nothing from it and worst of all your whales are funding him too. So you are technically negging plus you have to relaunch a speds career for free. Christ Phil could have ACTUALLY FUCKING LEARNED from Rambo's grievances and messaged Ashton and Andy and gave them $500 bucks and just say enjoy your holiday thanks for helping me. But no Phil is all me, me, me and fails to understand why he is so exhausting. Even Panda had the same grievances essentially.
 
I think they (KC) like him, genuinely, as like a retarded friend they can make do tricks. I don’t think they are going to shit on him as a final “gotcha bitch”.
They don’t. The only reason they ever entertained the thought of having Phil on KC was their hate boner for RTU. They had dozens of streams dedicated to felting Rich, and knew how much he preached about being holier-than-thou when compared to Phil, so they saw the opportunity for a great feltening when Joon The King’s RTU doc was released.
 
The only big difference I can see is that this time he's actually attracting outside audiences just by doing even the most basic of networking, which is actually how you create longevity and sustainable growth. As long as DSP doesn't revert back to being an online isolationist, this might work out better than the vest streak/Tut/Emerald 7/etc for him.
The only problem is that the reason why DSP's guest appearances are worth anything is because of how much of a hermit he is.

Just him popping up and interacting with human beings draws an audience.

The more he does it, the lest novel it is, and then what matters is the kahntent of the conversation taking place, and that is where DSP falls flat on his face. All he can do is filibuster with pre stream garbage and be awkward, it's extremely hard to get him to do anything else, and when you actually manage him prod him on, chances are he will just tell a very obvious and unnecessary lie for no reason.

The point of diminishing returns for guest appearances is fast approaching.

That's something a business savvy adult who understood fostering connections would do. Phil is either going to blow them up after a week or two or he'll be crawling up their asses the second the break ends.
