Last night he had 450 viewers for the late stream - and then he fired up the premier(!) of Veilguard.

He spends ages fucking around in the options and character creation and within just 30 minutes he's already down to 220 viewers.

He is literal VIDEO GAME AIDS

Name a more iconic duo:
DSP doing everything he can to get day one views
DSP getting day one views but fucking around with settings and just wasting time making all the day one viewers leave

This is what, probably the 800th time this exact scenario has happened so far?
 
In light of that last rant, about spotlights on detractors. I would like to remind everyone, as well as Phil, we get to stop. Every one of us gets to stop being detractors. And leave the vortex. But the dents? Phil won't let them leave. And most importantly, Phil doesn't get to stop being Phil.
Plus he's a prison of his own life. He can't stop streaming, he can't stop begging, he can't stop being the asshole that he's been for decades.

Even for people who are in jobs they hate... they can quit and do something else. Phil can't do that.

Not to mention he's in a sexless loveless marriage to a fat cow.

Agree but also disagree. There are tons of people who stay stuck in toxic jobs and toxic relationships that don't go anywhere (and this is not just a small percentage of people, but a huge amount). If he really wanted to, he could do a minimum of financial planning, stop WWEC and frivolous spending for like 2-3 months and start working towards doing something else.

But we know he won't and I am pretty sure at this point (basically 100% convinced) that the only reason he is actually exceptionally good at ebegging to begin with is that its heavily connected to his gambling/spending addiction cycle.
If he stopped being addicted to gambling then he wouldn't be able to beg in the same way (this doesn't mean he'd just stop begging because he needs less money, but he wouldn't beg because the addiction fuels just how much he begs and the way in which he begs).

TLDR: There is no world in which he wakes up and stops being addicted and is still able to make $100k/year. He makes the $100k/year precisely because he is addicted to gambling/spending.

I also think that it is heavily tied to the time he spent with his mother. He has said a number of times that he used to hang out with her and watch QVC together and this explains a lot about the manner of his speech, the cadence and verbiage is often virtually indistinguishable from the predatory FOMO language that things like QVC and HSN peddle in. I think this also supah influenced his relationship with money and the way he just spends it as soon as it comes in.

I wonder if he got his gift for gab from there too. If I had to compliment him on something it would be the fact that he can just talk and talk. If you had a gun to my head and forced me to talk endlessly I'd be dead within an hour unlike Phil. Now if only he had something to say.

When I examine Lolcows, onlookers make the argument that they make however much, so their actions are justifiable (Phil 100k, Wings a living wage in SC), and that, having done this for years, they can sustain the income that comes with the ridicule. The problem is that, because most of these people are mentally ill, incorrigible, or incapable of improvement, they are unable to rationalize the purpose of their spending beyond the trepidations that their income is built off of. The example that I had in mind with Phil, is that, he makes it out that we're felted or mad that he's making any money at all, and this universal contrariety of those that do not donate and the cult that does, falls apart if he wasn't a dysgenic that spends half income on a wrestling game, for it is predicated on a more tenable ideal of spending this money, with his miraculous job as a streamer (One could argue that setting out to become a streamer as a full-time job and your only source of income is fucking insane).

The resistance that he perceives from any facet of his life is attributed to the other, and so, when the donations that he sits on roll in with that real $5-10 from someone either troll donating or taking pity on a mad vain gambling alcoholic, Phil believes that he has been acquitted and that he entered the good graces of the *Internet*. I seriously doubt Phil is aware of how much he makes a year, either, which can explain why he is so deep into the throes of addiction, because he is only ever making 100k when he spends all his money on packs today, and is reliant on the $300 tomorrow, a constant cycle that Phil does not put any long-term consideration into, it just being a cadence of having no money and getting it in and spending it.
 
We are announcing DSPolitics days after the election, how can someone be so fucking retarded holy shit, after elections people are exhausted of it and most wont give a shit until the next cycle.

But hey, at least now that one side won he can dickride that side safely using the power of hindsight and tell the side that lost how they did everything wrong, if DSP did politics during the election he might have to do predictions and take uncertain sides... hes probably terrified of doing that.
Because Phil will only jump on the bandwagon after that bandwagon has gone around the world five times and been sold for scrap.
 
GTG has also stated that Phil is starving himself to loose weight.
I think long term chronic alcoholism messes up your digestion so you don't absorb calories/nutrients properly - maybe that could indirectly lead to reduced appetite(?). Someone on TBS did a bankleaks breakdown: if he only bought handles (1.5L) of Tangqueray Gin it'd break down to 7 shots a nights, that's year after year every single day. That'll do some damage, especially considering the other factors of the lifestyle of a Pigroach.

He's merely projecting: He thinks everyone is as unprincipled as him, just going with whatever is popular right now. So he thinks DSPolitics is 'safe' to do now. He can't fathom that the democrats in his audience don't immediately switch their allegiance to the new cool kids and become winners.

It's really just how he goes through life. He's a trans ally, yet anti-woke, a passionate gamer, but not a fucking nerd... As others said, a social chameleon, just trying to fit in.
 
DSPolitics is suicide. Gaming is a milquetoast topic so usually you won't get cancelled for saying something dumb.
Politics is a lose lose situation. Whatever you say is going to piss off someone...

Why walk on eggshells for no return? I doubt he will get any improvement to his views for doing it anyway?
One wrong move and he will get "cancelled"
