1) Phil acts out the most, takes the most risks and therefore produces the most kino when his ego is inflated and he thinks he is on the upswing/in a position of power. Just look at his behaviour during the FGC after evo.
2) phil is his own worst enemy. Nothing anyone does to him has ever been as funny or damaging than things he does himself. He himself kinda understands this, it’s why he created his own little cacoon for so long isolating himself, He just needed revival of his ego to feel safe enough to emerge.
The strategy was simple, rather than approach phil as some bad guy to be fought, humiliated then saved like most a-logs and even side scrollers did, the kasino puffed him up, built up his ego, suggested some targets and just let phil be phil. It’s really not any more complicated than that.
The result is him admitting DFTR account, the disaster interview with craig, and looks like much more in the future. Kasino doesn’t have to betray him or even defend what he does to keep this going either. Just let the king cook and occasionally give him the superficial pat on the ass so he keeps believing he is on top again; thus the kino floweth
I’m surprised they were the first to try this. Most dentractors only suck up as far as to get the interview then blow it cus they think phil is like some legendary beast to hunt. It’s not exactly some high level psychology, one can put it together by just looking at the periods DSP produces funny stuff and the periods he doesn’t, and don’t be too obsessed with proving a point or controlling exactly what happens.
PPP posting he foresaw all this is funny, and of course you can’t predict the specifics, but the general phenomenon of an ego mad phil swinging at everyone and admitting to everything cus he thinks he is on top again definitely was foreseeable.
